But your logic is extremely flawed. Your saying that it's better to have no show (and hence, ZERO access) that it is have a show that people may not have access to during certain years. Still, using the size of the country as an excuse to not have a show is very lame. If some really wants to go, they could if they planned ahead. As it stands now, people have to sneak into a trade show like E3. So, just because some people can't make it, no gets to go?? What kind of lousy logic is that? Stryder Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say its better to have no show. I'm saying its a matter of logistics. The transportation system in a big country like the United States makes a show less viable. You have gamers spread out through the continent. The American market as a whole may be huge, but taken individually, even markets like LA could be hard pressed to rival the TGS. So there's no will on the part of the IDSA for a consumer show because its just so complicated, so expensive and so very inefficient. Until the transportation system improves or the industry pressure and money is there to set up these shows, its not going to happen. -- Dexter S.
