If the current round of LA chatter turns out to be true, tomorrow’s Activision “preview” event at the Staples Center is going to be both unmissable and ridiculous.

VG247 has been told that the party, which has cost $6 million, will “definitely” feature both Usher and Jane’s Addiction, as well as a mystery headline act – both Lady Gaga and Beyonce have been mentioned in the past 24 hours.

Not all. The event is actually taking place in the Staples Center. Not in an outside part of it. It’s in the actual auditorium. Why? Well, it’d be tough to have the LA Philharmonic Orchestra squashed into one of the outdoor bars. And how could you lower down a skate ramp while Tony Hawk is skating on it into anything but the home of the LA Lakers?

Think that’s mental? Apparently Activision has recruited the world’s “best strippers” for the party, and will have the ladies doing their thing at every corner of the crowd.

If you’re now thinking it might be a good time to try for a ticket, tough lines. The event is strictly invite-only, and all requests are non-transferable.

Are we going? Of course we are. It starts at 9.00pm PST tomorrow night.

WTF
:O

 

[FrankT]

Kotick knows how to use up some IW bonuses I see.

 

[Nemo]

All it needs now is coke

I'm sure someone will bring it

 

[Bad_Boy]

:\

 

[Lagspike_exe]

That's probably the money that should have been payed to IW. :lol

 

[WrenchNinja]

All of my hate.

 

[gofreak]

Someone just stole the [E3 party] show. If true.

 

[shintoki]

It's Infinity Ward's unpaid bonuses at work.

 

[GCX]

Kotick wants to burn some money before he leaves the company.

 

[Blueblur1]

That's probably the money that should have been payed to IW. :lol

Nice. :lol

 

[obijkenobi]

:\

I remember all those conversations in Sales-Age about the industry being sustainable. If half of this crap is true, my question is "Why?"

 

[Sydle]

Will watch for Lady Gaga.

What games should we expect?

Where's this party again?

what the fuck?

 

[DR2K]

I'd much rather it go to Lady Gaga.

You're an idiot.

Heh.

If I was a member of one of Activision's teams which have been hit by cutbacks, shake-ups etc. I'm sure reading how my company was blowing massive amounts of money on a party would do wonders for my morale...

 

[ColonelColon]

wtf? I thought she was going to be at the Atlus party.

 

[thaOwner]

This new should excite Duckroll.

 

[GK86]

Needs more Jamie Kennedy.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Activision win E3.

 

[GCX]

wtf? I thought she was going to be at the Atlus party.

Nice one. :lol

 

[a Master Ninja]

What's GAF gonna do? Its hate for Kotick pitted against its love for Gaga.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

So this is the Activision corporate retreat and they are rewarding all their hard workers?

 

[Vinterbird]

Will watch for Lady Gaga.

What games should we expect?

It's an industry part, not an press conference.

What's GAF gonna do? Its hate for Kotick pitted against its love for Gaga.

Gaga wins, hands down.

 

[Firewire]

I wonder if Activision is using the bonus funds it was supposed to pay out to Infinity Ward employee's for this.

EDIT: Beaten badly. :lol

 

[Majine]

Talk about a bad romance.











Nobody? Hello?

Don't count me in with that crowd! >_<

 

[Rapping Granny]

I could just imagine the audience.

Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

[TheGreatDave]

Hey guys do you think Gaga is getting the IW money they were apparently owed?

 

[LQX]

Fuck your bonus.

 

[Mad_Ban]

Two other people he can now namedrop to friends in his luxury capsule.

 

[akilshohen]

Daaaamn, and I'm mad the the title didn't mention the other 3 artists....:lol :lol

Because I'm sure Beyonce took most of that $6 million :lol

 

[ULTROS!]

Activision: Lady Gaga > Infinity Ward

 

[freddy]

I'm sure there will be fond memories of this party for years. When someone sits down to write write the next game review and sees the Activision logo sitting there for example

 

[JordanLMiller]

wtf? I thought she was going to be at the Atlus party.

:lol

 

[Razor210]

What in the what?

 

[Majine]

It's nice to have some company on your yacht.

 

[Garjon]

Wait, I thought Eminem was the headline act...

 

[V_Ben]

Talk about opulence. This is what killed E3 the last time. :lol

 

[OldJadedGamer]

And the real reason we have $10 used game codes.

 

[MMaRsu]

If true then it's beyond pathetic. Not only Activision but Lady GAGA is as well.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

posted it in the LA times story + http://twitter.com/eminem will be their :O:O

Still blows my mind:

Games industry: We can't afford E3, its to big and to crazy.
Activition: $6 Million party NO PROBLEM.....................

 

[border]

:lol

The Lady Gaga performance will probably cost them more money than DJ Hero 2 is going to gross. That's the only reason I don't believe it -- it's a huge expenditure for the promotion of an ultimately niche product.

 

[Scythesurge]

Talk about opulence. This is what killed E3 the last time. :lol

Let's hope it doesn't happen again!

 

[DR2K]

You're an idiot.

 

[gofreak]

I wonder if she'll yell at the crowd to get their dicks out.

"I've heard they've got some pretty big cocks here at Activision..."

 

[Wario64]

They gotta promote DJ Hero 2 somehow

 

[xelios]

I wonder if she'll yell at the crowd to get their dicks out.

"I've heard they've got some pretty big cocks here at Activision..."

Love it. :lol
