Call Of Duty Elite, the social… thing… of the CoD franchise caused a bit of a stir with it’s recent announcement prior to E3. Cue a press release masquerading as a Frequently Asked Questions message to those whom need more information.

Nintendo has joined forces with AT&T and Best Buy to allow US users of the 3DS free access to Wi-Fi at 25,000 different locations. That’s basically the entire story, but there’s a quote from Reggie which some might want to read.
Full press release after the jump.
It’s that time of year again. E3 starts tomorrow, which means press conferences start today, which means a mountain of work that needs to be done.
Each year, Justin and his crew of battle hardened videographers trawl the E3 show floor to get you the latest innovations and interviews from the luminaries of the world of gaming. Sadly, he and they are not attending this year for personal reasons, so E3coverage.com will not be updated.
It doesn’t stop Gametactics from updating!
As usual you can expect a mountain of news posts, screenshots, videos and press releases heading onto the site, as I work through the epic mound of reporting, hoping to reach the bottom of it all. With a little help from some friends, I forsee 3 days of stress and tears.
If you are a company that happens to be exhibiting at E3 this year and have a downloadable presskit, or if you happen to know of a downloadable presskit that we haven’t managed to find yet, or in the event of us getting something drastically wrong, please let us know through our contact form.
Thanks in advance…
