E3 is coming back to Los Angeles! Unfortunately for the greater gaming populace, that's about the closest way that E3 will be reverting back to its former showier self.

The E3 Media and Business Summit presented by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) will maintain its invitation-only attendance of 3,000 to 4,000 and will keep its more intimate and strictly business atmosphere (gaming is still a business after all).

The move back to the Los Angeles Convention Center was prompted by complaints from the last E3 in Santa Monica. If you remember, publishers stayed in different hotels in the area. The distance between the different locations of the summit were so far that some people couldn't attend some of the events.
