Going to gaming conventions is something every gamer would love to do.  Let’s face it though, it costs a lot of money between airfare, hotel, and all that jibba jabba.  What if you could avoid all that and go to the convention right from your Xbox 360?  Sounds like a dream right?  Well, it might be a dream that one day might come true.

A recent online survey asks you to imagine, imagine what it would be like to have “interactive, online versions” of conventions.

Imagine that interactive, online versions of E3, BlizzCon, GamesCon, ComicCon and every other major video game convention were made available through Xbox Live.

Here is a look at the rest of the page from which the excerpt above was taken. (click image for full size)

Survey

On top of everything listed as to what you can do, the best part about this is,

Attending a Virtual Video Game Convention would be FREE

As we stated earlier, it is pricey to actually go to the conventions, so FREE for these “Virtual Video Game Conventions” would be great for gamers.

While it will never compare to the real deal, it would be great for those not able to go to the actual event to still get a taste right from home.  While this is still just a rumor and only a rumor, this would be something great for not only gamers but Xbox live users as well.  Imagine being at a virtual E3 and playing all the same demos the press is, and without spending the money or waiting in a long line like they did!

This all seems too good to be true.  IF and WHEN anymore information on this is made available we will definitely update you.  For now kids, lets say our prayers and hope this comes true.
