According to an ESA press release, in addition to all of its usual gaming goodness, E3 2009 will feature:

Pro vs. G.I. Joe gaming competitions in support of U.S. military personnel
A t-shirt design contest with some proceeds going to support an L.A.-based homeless mission

I wonder if that first one will be protested.

But man, am I looking forward to this E3! I was really dissapointed by the past 2, despite the fact that I thought the change would be for the better. Only when it was too late did I realize that game journalists have no idea how to actually report on E3, and that in the past I had been getting all my info from random guys on the floor posting videos on youtube.
