"It’s been nine months in planning but we’re now only a few days from opening the doors to Eurogamer Expo 2009," said Rupert Loman, managing director of Eurogamer. "Judging by the number of emails and calls we’re getting since London sold out, we could have sold twice as many tickets as we made available. This bodes very well for our plans for next year.” In other recent developments, NVIDIA and Acer have been unveiled as the official PC partner for the event, and over 500 journalists have signed up to attend - including broadcast television and radio channels, magazines and websites.
