Just wondering Frankie/Sketch if you are planning to show anything at ECTS (European version of E3 held in London) this year. Either in person or just as Microsoft. Because if you are I will definately want to go and also it would be a good excuse to sort out a European Fan Fest.

Its a good time, 1st to 3rd September, to show anything you want to show off, just before release. I checked the exhibitor listing and it just has Xbox rather than any specific companies.

Any word?

They were at E3 under the XBox stand, so am hoping its the same at ECTS....that and they better be as some of us wanna know where to get our hands on the Special Edition version on this side of the Atlantic.

I really have to love MS at ECTS though, they look after you. I remember at the 2000 ECTS when they were demonstrating an up coming console called XBox and answered all the questions we had...its why we actually fully backed them with it as a company and, also with the attitude we got from Sony of "are you press or a dev?" no, "get off the stand" dropped all PS2 sales haha.

I'm thinking that we ask the guys at OXM if we could hijack their office for a few hours.

I haven't heard any definite plans for ECTS yet... Anything is possible though. Unfortunately the biggest hurdle will just be the fact that the entire team will be in the final stretch of crunch mode and usually game shows are a huge undertaking and a big distraction.

Ah well, a gold disc to me should suffice.

Simple Sketch, just mail us the E3 2004 build and 10 dev boxes and we'll do the rest for you ; ).

Seriously though if you guys could sort anything out for us Euros then you would have a lot of very happy people. Just send Frankie, he can fly up north to see him family while he's there!

Just out of interest has Bungie ever been to any European tradeshows? If so which ones and what did you guys think?

When you do make a decision either way be sure to let us know.
