Electronics Entertainment Expo, also known as E3, was a 2-3 day trade show where various video game companies show off upcoming and released games they have at various booths for potential buyers. During 1998 and 1999, Tiger Electronics would be among these companies as they had released the Game Com around 3 years prior, giving them the chance to not only showcase what they had in store with that franchise but also others such as Giga Pets and upcoming Furby releases.

May 28 to May 30 1998[]

During this year, Tiger showcased new releases for the Game Com, new variants of Gigapets, and introduced the same Furby prototypes that had been showcased a few months prior at the American International Toy Fair in February. Marc Rosenberg is known to have been at this event especially to showcase the new Furby.

May 13 to May 15 1999[]

Located in the south hall of the convention center, seemingly the same booth as last time near Nintendo's giant booth, was Tiger Electronics' booth where they showcased the upcoming handheld version of their latest console called the Game Com Pocket Pro and games to be released alongside it. Additionally, Furbys new in boxes can be seen in some images of the event at their own display booth as new Furbys were also showcased at Tiger's booth during the event, including the 2nd generation of Furby, Furby Babies, and special edition Furbys.

Employees from Tiger Electronics were also present at this event, assumingly Marc Rosenberg as he had been at the one before, and in similar fashion to other booths at E3 that had celebrities promote the games and consoles, Tiger's Game Com booth had Booker T, five time WCW Television Champion, signing photographs at their front desk.
