E3 1995 has what is still one of the most memerable moments of the show's history, the Sony guy coming to the pedistal and just saying the price of the PS1, $299.99.

@classicgameroom: I don't think that this E3 stacks up at all. E3 2012 has a lot of promise if the next Xbox and PS are announced, but without across the board major hardware announcements it isn't as big. The software products stole the show in my opinion, not the hardware.
What do you mean the release of the Sega Saturn on the spot? Like they said its on sale right now? Apple style I mean.
Yeah, it was released instantly in shops. One of the many things that was considered a fuck up regarding the Saturn.
Ha ha I just went and looked it up, (I was 4 at the time) they really released a console by surprise about fours months before it was originally suppose to. I think thats pretty amazing.

The kicker was they only released the thing at only a few retailers, promptly pissing off all of the retailers that did not get Saturn's in. Sega effectively murdered their relationship with the retailers, something they probably never got back.
I'd say that this year's E3 was probably a high C or low B. No clue about how it compares to E3 '95 though since I would have only just been born haha.
