Slowly more and more folks are signing up for the E for All convention and the next one to do is a pretty big one as Electronic Arts will be a part of the festivities in October. E for All is looking to replace the original E3 and it's going to be held in the same location ala the LA Convention Center. I won't be able to make it this year but we hope to have some correspondents at the convention so if we do we'll be sure to have them stop by the EA booth to check their stuff out.
