<p>Now this event is all good and well though what does it mean for you? <em>the gaming enthusiast? </em></p>
<p>Video Games in Australia grew by 41% last year to be the 9th largest consumer in the world (3rd largest per captia). With the Federal Governments $43bn. Fiber to the Home roll out will position Australia as one of the most connected countries in the world. So my tip is that the games industry is going to grow like wild fire and an event like this is a perfect opportunity for you to not only meet with the worlds best, though get an inside look at the future of gaming!</p>
<p>If you want anymore information, Flick me an email ( Michael(dot)woods(at)film.vic.gov.au ) or direct message me on CG.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I look forward to seeing you on the day! Oh ps. Its a government supported event which means <strong>tickets are free,</strong> though with limited capacity it will sell out fast.</p>

^^ exactly. At the moment even the idea digital distribution in Australia is a joke, imo. Most mummy and daddy Bigpond users will tear through the quota after watching a single HD movie. |

ISPs need to embrace this change, offering free bandwidth for different services, aka ISP X to provide bandwidth free iTunes' movie downloads, so you only pay for the rental of the movie from iTunes, and not also your bandwidth. |

awesome yeah, the consumption of video games is one thing the recession will most likely increase...more people trying to find cheap things to do at home... especially with the way of the world (at least the western world) getting faster and faster. competitive sports or recreational games in people's study or bedroom will become more and more appealing simply because its cheap and readily available. |
