I’m sitting here squealing in glee at this news.

This year E3 is trying something new: letting in non-press. Not everyone, sadly, but about 4,000-5,000 non industry individuals will receive invites.

The passes will be distributed to companies that are exhibiting at this years E3. The number of passes each company receives is determined by the companies’ E3 booth size (and monetary contribution). It is up to the individual company on how they want to distribute the passes.

How do you feel about the ESA’s decision to let in the public to E3 2015? Let us know in the comments.

E3

Today. Today is the day we got the call. To return to our computer rooms. Adjust the lumbar in the chair. Turn the lights down and the blue LEDs up. August 21st is the day  the next game in the LEGENDARY Counter-Strike series ships.

The E3 news machine is running on all cylinders. Valve announced that CS:GO will be released August 21st for $15 on STEAM, PSN and XBLA. Forget Mass Effect 3. Forget Assassins Creed 3. Forget Diablo 3. CS:GO is the only number 3 you will ever need.

Make sure to check out the CS:GO Steam page for more info.
