E3 2003

Posted May 13, 2003

Between the opening of Matrix Reloaded and the E3 Electronic Gaming Expo, it's a very good week to be a geek. I'll be attending a private screening of the Matrix on Thursday afternoon and E3 all day on Friday.

I'm not the live-blogging type, but I compiled a list of other webloggers who will be attending. (Those blogging the event daily are marked with an asterisk.) A list of other E3 news websites follows.
