o Video Game Industry to Radically Downsize Annual E3 Expo

Washington - The Entertainment Software Association (ESA), a video game industry trade group, said on Monday that it plans to radically reduce the size of its annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), an event that over the past 12 years has become the pre-eminent event of the video game industry. The organization said that it will move the 2007 version of the event to a more intimate venue in Los Angeles, focused on press events and small meetings with media, retail, development and other key sectors. Douglas Lowenstein, the president of the ESA, said on Monday that the goals of the event have changed since its launch. "At that time we were focused on establishing the industry and securing orders for the holiday season," said Lowenstein. "Over the years, it has become clear that we need a more intimate program." According to a report by the website Next Generation, "the larger exhibitors have jointly decided that the costs of the event do not justify the returns," instead choosing to focus on "events that bring attention to their own product lines rather than the industry as a whole." A senior industry source told GamesIndustry.biz that publisher Electronic Arts has been meeting with E3 organizers and the ESA in an attempt to reduce event costs. Senior executives speaking with GamesIndustry.biz during this year's E3 also suggested they chose not to show many key products at E3, because "it is no longer the correct venue for that type of unveiling." The ESA said additional details on the new E3Expo will be forthcoming in the next few months.

AOL said the portal will include a video search tool, based on technology from Truveo and Singingfish, and a video player that can go full screen without losing picture quality. And, through a partnership with Intel, AOL said that it plans to release a new tool in the coming weeks that will allow users of some Intel-based PCs to view its video on large screen TVs and other devices. Time Warner is expected to unveil its new strategic direction for AOL during a conference call on Wednesday.

o Dolby, Germany's Infitec to Develop 3D Digital Cinema System

San Francisco - Dolby Laboratories, the developer of digital audio and surround-sound technologies, announced on Monday that it has partnered with Germany-based Infitec to develop a new 3D digital cinema delivery system.

"Recent 3-D digital movie releases have demonstrated true audience demand," said Tim Partridge, a senior vice president at Dolby Laboratories. "Per screen attendances for 3-D digital screens have been more than double those of traditional showings, which is why we believe that combining the 3-D experience with our Dolby Digital Cinema solution is a win-win proposition for exhibitors and moviegoers."
