Forums - Gaming - Rumor: Activision spending $6 million on E3 party

http://www.vg247.com/2010/06/13/rumour-6-million-e3-acti-party-to-feature-gaga-strippers-janes-addiction/

If the current round of LA chatter turns out to be true, tomorrow’s Activision “preview” event at the Staples Center is going to be both unmissable and ridiculous.

VG247 has been told that the party, which has cost $6 million, will “definitely” feature both Usher and Jane’s Addiction, as well as a mystery headline act – both Lady Gaga and Beyonce have been mentioned in the past 24 hours.

Not all. The event is actually taking place in the Staples Center. Not in an outside part of it. It’s in the actual auditorium. Why? Well, it’d be tough to have the LA Philharmonic Orchestra squashed into one of the outdoor bars. And how could you lower down a skate ramp while Tony Hawk is skating on it into anything but the home of the LA Lakers?

Think that’s mental? Apparently Activision has recruited the world’s “best strippers” for the party, and will have the ladies doing their thing at every corner of the crowd.

If you’re now thinking it might be a good time to try for a ticket, tough lines. The event is strictly invite-only, and all requests are non-transferable.

Are we going? Of course we are. It starts at 9.00pm PST tomorrow night.

Not sure if this is actually true (it sounds sensationalistic) but it's confirmed that Eminem will be performing at Acvitision's event.

"Yes, I will be performing at the Activision event..."

 

So, IF Activision is dropping this much coin on a single party, how do you feel? Twesterm?

Sounds stupid, truth be told. 



 

If so. What a waste of money.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

This is a game show, not a whore house.



Sounds like a joke. Whats the point? I would rather they spent that money developing games or pay their employess more. This seems like a waste of money

The razzle-dazzle has more to do with increases revenue than you might think.  To put it in visual form, see famousringo's sig.  The enthusiast press laps the stuff up, after all.



i'm gonna laugh when declining wow subcriptions will bring their overall results to... $-6Millions...=)



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I still think it could be better spent reaching more people advertising then. Only so many will watch e3, and those who will will do so regardless of this kind of stuff. Its far above and beyond what they need. I disable sigs so i would never see what famousringo put there  as i am sure alot of people do.



wow.... if its true anyways
