E3 2008 Exhibitors Announced

E3 returns to the LA Convention Center with fewer companies and shorter walking distances.

Activision and Vivendi won't be attending, but 39 companies are still scheduled to appear at the E3 2008 Media and Business Summit.

This year's event is expected to draw 4,000 visitors from within the industry and media personnel to the Los Angeles Convention Center, the site where the majority of E3 events have been held. The center's Concourse Hall will be the only wing of the building in use, a massive downsizing from past LA shows.
