It's easy to forget that just because E3 shrunk, it doesn't mean that there won't be a week of endless news and surprise unveils. Take for instance Electronic Arts, which just sent out the official media alert for their E3 press conference.

The presser will include the usual suspects of EA top brass and "celebrity guests" but it will also be home to at least a couple of pieces of news including a new strategic partnership, some product-specific news and "reveal never-before-seen" games. We know Rock Band and Harmonix are going to have to play a role, but will there be some totally out of the blue secret as well?

Just so one of their celebrity guests includes Jimmie Walker I'll be happy. Brian Crecente
