If there was one complaint of previous eGames Expo’s, it was that there just was not enough content to justify a full days admission. To address this, the scope of the show has been expanded, with eGames becoming only part of (significantly so) of the newly tagged International Digital Entertainment Festival. “We are thrilled to announce that so many of the big names have already put their plans in place to be part of eGames again this year,” announced Peter Barlow, iDEF’s Festival Director. “Some of the names gearing up to showcase and launch new products and services at the show include Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Sony Computer Entertainment, Microsoft, Nintendo, Panasonic, AFA Interactive, Scorptec, Madman, Acer, Monash University, Box Hill TAFE, Qantm, Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE) and Swinburne. In short, it’s going to be a knockout event,” he added. The Digital Lifestyle Show and eGames Expo will be literally ‘packed to the rafters’ with a wide range of devices ranging from high definition LCD and plasma screens and home entertainment systems to video games, consoles, personal computers and mobile devices. “Our friends from Australian Gamer, Matt and Yug, will be back again to create game mania as hosts of the eGames main stage and will give visitors the chance to try their hand at some of the live competitions and festival fun,” Mr Barlow commented. According to the latest press release: On stage presentations and ‘hands-on’ experiences with leading brands at the Digital Lifestyle Show will showcase the latest products and provide visitors with the opportunity to gain an insight into the digital products and services that are either already doing so, or are set to revolutionise our lives. With ‘digital’ recognised as the way of the future, the expo will provide people who want to find out about the latest, greatest and ‘soon to be seen’ digital products and services with the opportunity to see them first hand. The eGames Expo will feature a series of video games play-offs, designed to give visitors the chance to get really ‘hands on’ with all the games on show. Eager games enthusiasts will also be able to enter in the chance to win some great prizes. Intel’s professional game players - Team Immunity - will be on hand to showcase the more serious side of game playing while giving visitors to the show the opportunity to play against some the best players in Australia.
