It was one of the biggest consumer electronic shows in the US but it seems having over 54,700 attendees in 2007 wasn't enough for Ziff Davis to continue hosting the New York City based DigitalLife event. The show, which was scheduled to be held in just a few weeks (September 25-28) has been canceled, according to a News.com story.

The story used an email from a Ziff Davis exec as its source, who stated that "poor economic conditions" was the reason for the pull out for 2008. He did add, "Hopefully, a bigger and stronger DigitalLife will return in 2009." The company recently came out of Chapter 11 bankrupcy. DigitalLife always had a strong gaming presense (it even hosted pro gaming tournaments on the show floor) and reportedly Ziff Davis was going to put more of an emphasis on gaming for the 2008 editiion before today's decision.
