Back in November IDG announced a contest to name their new gamer Expo, the spiritual successor to E3 for fans. While I was perfectly happy with the name GamePro Expo, IDG felt they needed something that was less theirs, more ours. Today they've announced the winning name. The E for All Expo.

More than 3000 entries were submitted on GamePro.com. The winning entry was proposed by California resident Dante Padre, who has won a trip to the E For All Expo for his submission Padre explained his inspiration behind the E for All Expo name, saying that "this show seems to be about inviting everyone to participate...they even asked gamers to create the name."

Ravers from across the country have already lined up outside the LA Convention Center with binkies and glow sticks, hoping to score some E once the show opens in mid-October of this year. Michael Fahey
