E3 2009 is still more than two months away, but trade body the are already hinting that the annual show could be a far bigger affair than last year's somewhat damp offering.

Ninety per cent of E3's floorspace has now been sold, ESA tell us, with over 100 firms set to attend the event, which takes place at the LA Convention Center from June 2nd to June 4th.

"If you have a career in games or just love to play them, get out your calendar and circle the first week of June," offered EA's Jeff Brown.

"The E3 Expo is bigger and better this year and for EA, the expanded format means we'll have more demos, announcements, promotions and blockbuster games than ever before."
