You could read in between the lines about the fate of E For All Expo in our story a few days ago but our sister site Joystiq has finally got the last word on the consumer game show from the IDG World Expo. This should put all doubt to rest: "Unfortunately, E for All will not be occurring in 2009, as our focus now turns to E3."

And speaking of the newly bigger and stronger Electronic Entertainment Expo, another sister site, GameDaily, reports that E3 has got a new contract with the city of Los Angeles that will lock the show in the city until 2011. According to the story, LA officials expect that the June 2-4, 2009 E3 will account for more than $18 million in economic impact to the city.
