Well seeing as the conferences are all at different times I think one big E3 thread is manageable, and then for any big announcements, such as a new game, it can have it's own topic in the respected Sony/MS/Nintendo section.

But hey, if people want individual threads for each E3 discussion, go ahead and make them!

The main purpose of this thread was to cut down on the "Where can I watch E3/When is E3 starting?" topics/questions we'll no doubt still see anyway ... :/ :p

While I understand you trying to organise the news coming frmo E3 in one topic in general, it never ends up that way unfortunately.

This thread has been useful for me and I'm sure others for the times, but like every year it usually turns into chaos of topics for every bit of news, and there are more people posting gaming news than there use to be, so I dread to think for multiple topics too.

The E3 topic for the Sony press conference last year was up to 15 pages in like 2 hours from the press conference for just talking while it was going on and then died off, so would it not be better to have a nice topic that can die of easily than one that has pages upon pages of useless information taking away from the point of the topic?

And seeing the way the press conferences are running, I wouldn't be surprised if you are going to get all the Xbox conference talk in here, it will fill up with pages, then people will start seperate ones for say Sony or Nintando.

Done (Y)

Keep this topic for technical questions on streams/E3, and the official topics for each console for discussing what has been shown at E3.

Nothing worse than 15 pages of "HEY GUYZ WHERZ E3 LINKZ?!11" cluttering up the discussion topics :no:

Woo!

Noticed someone already made a topic asking for where to see a live stream, always one. :laugh:

G4 stream is unwatchable for me right now. IGNs still shows the Live Wire logo.

Yeah im on IGN as well.

Complete (N) though to the fact you can't full screen on IGN (unless you pay for IGN Insider). I don't mind that it's not in HD IGN, I still want to fullscreen an SD broadcast.

G4's website sucks at streaming, and I can't find a live broadcast (video) of EA's presser anywhere else :( I was hoping to see Crysis: Warhead and anything from Valve.

G4 should GTFO after that absolutely ass attempt at a stream of the MS conference and now this.

IGN put up a higher quality stream first of all, and it was butter smooth from start to finish.

Sadly IGN aren't doing the EA conference.

Lame, EA actually had some good stuff being shown. Left 4 Dead had a few redesigns done apparently, and id's next title, Rage, is being published through EA Partners. Mad I missed those.

EA Partners keeps looking better and better. They give developers the longitude to do what they want, and it makes EA a ton of money.

SpikeTV which I assume is what G4TV is, are doing an HD broadcast for free on TV I think.

edit: I think SpikeTV and G4TV are two different things. I dunno if it's on TV then Larry :/

SpikeTV is a different channel then G4TV, I don't believe SpikeTV will be doing any coverage. G4TV has for at least the last 3 years done free coverage for E3.

Well nevermind the coverage..cause no matter what you watch or listen to nobody is going to hear what most FPS players were hoping for from EA...and that was a Battlefield 3 announcement.... we know there doing a 5th BF Title and today would have been a good day to announce it.

EA= fail
