E3 – In And Around The Convention Center

Peter Chapman 21 Comments

If you’re a fan of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, that photo above is just for you. For everyone else, we thought it would be cool to throw together a little gallery of the various walkways and spaces that are around the Los Angeles Convention Center. Don’t worry, we’ve kept it brief but you can expect to see much more as the week continues.

We went today and picked up the various barcodes, pass cards and wristbands that will get us into all the good stuff tomorrow and for the rest of the week. During the course of that endeavour (and before we succumbed to the lures of the ESPN Zone bar), we grabbed a few little snaps of the adverts around the place and the huge, nondescript wooden crates that are full of stand equipment, televisions and other assorted stuff.

We didn’t see any PlayStation 4 consoles yet, but we’ve been told that they’re being closely guarded so that only a handful of people in the world have seen the final design. It’s all quite covert and more than a little bit exciting.

  7. I’m loving the box thread on Neogaf. Absolutely hilarious.

    Nice pics guys.
