The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) have announced the next E3 will feature "early access hours" to curb the numbers of regular game fans getting in!

E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo - the largest video game trade show on Earth, has been having problems over recent years with game fans attending using game store employment credentials or "exhibits only" passes.

In 2006, the show will feature "early access hours" from 9:00-11:00 A.M. on the first day of the show, so that press and retailers can play floor kiosks before the rest of the attendees are allowed in. Those wishing to gain entry during the early access hours must submit special credentials and can apply by April 13th.

The excitement is going to be bigger than ever this year - with Nintendo's Revolution guaranteed to be unveiled, with a few suprises still in store.
