The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) issued a press release saying they're forming an advisory committee to see if they're ready to explore gaming event options, a.k.a., make an E3 replacement. They're fairly experienced in tradeshows, seeing as they're responsible for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which gives gadget freaks like us a behemoth woody.

If anyone can make a new E3, resurrecting the spirit of the old one after it was brutally maimed, it's the CEA. Since we love E3 and love going to it, we'll wish them good luck. – Jason Chen
