World's Biggest Video Game Trade Show

It's in Los Angeles where the glitz and glam of the movie industry takes a backseat to the almost $10 billion a year interactive world of video games.

In 2005, about 70,000 industry insiders, journalists and various VIPs filled the Los Angeles Convention Center for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, the biggest video game trade show in the world.

E3 is known for big announcements from game companies, thanks in no small part to the intense worldwide media coverage.

This year is no different with rumors of a Microsoft handheld gaming system, a PlayStation 3 controller that reacts to player's movement, and what many are calling the darling of the show, Nintendo's Wii.

More info on the expo website.
