G4 (Also on TV)
GameTrailers (HD)
Official Xbox Site
IGN
GameSpot

G4 is your best bet if you can get the channel. It can't really crash and is going to be in pretty good quality. GameTrailers is your best bet if you don't have G4 I think. This is their first year live streaming and they're doing it in HD, so I expect a LOT of traffic there. If it stays up, it'll be the best. However, remember that "HD" for GameTrailers just means 1280x720 with a really bad bitrate. It will still be better quality than any other stream.

Last year, IGN had the best quality stream but it was behind by more than a minute which made talking with others who weren't on the same stream hard. After all, they were already onto the next thing.

GameSpot is usually fairly stable, but crappy quality unless you pay. G4 was my favourite stream overall last year.

Psyched.

Just hope everything hasn't been leaked/spoiled, which it kinda has. To an extent. But you cant spoil gameplay footage.

Sony E3 thread 11 replies, Nintendo 4, MS 1. Yep, OA trying to annoy me..

So how are we doing this? Are we keeping the Press Conference threads updated with information from the press conference, instead of creating new threads in this section for each game announced? That makes the most sense for me if that's how we want to do it. Let me know so I know how to handle it tomorrow.

The conference threads should be updated with news about the conference, and threads for the individual games should be created as news is available. As soon as there is media/news on a game available during a conference, I would go ahead and make a thread for it.

We shouldn't make any more placeholder threads though. Only create game threads when there is actual information available.

I predict,

1. Smaller revision of the 360. The first official console shrink.
2. Motion controller camera ( along with support for many new games coming. )
3. new announcements about xbox related to cable companies, IP TV rollout in certain areas.
4. Xbox live music service launch ( not sure about this one)
5. at least 6- 8 new games announced
6. At least 10 total exclusive titles
7. A number of xbox live arcade titles
8. More exclusive content available over xbox live.
9. Epic announces they are exclusive 3rd party to MS.

WOW UNCHANTERD 2 AM FUCK AWESOME

BEST GRAFHICS I SAW

[tyrone]

Annon, you are correct with all you answers, with the exception that theres a good chance MGS will be on 360.

I'm betting thats the biggest "megaton" of MS' conference..

pretty much either that and/or Halo:Reach for the showtopper.

my big hope for reach is only that we get some snippet of GAMEPLAY rather than just CG. I'm doubtful though.

Geoff Keighley has rather cryptically announced that Modern Warfare 2 fans ``won´t want to miss´´ Microsoft´s E3 press conference that is now only three hours and 5 minutes away.

``Gloomy day in LA, but it´s off to the Xbox press briefing I go. Modern Warfare 2 fans won´t want to miss it,´´ he tweeted.

Now, why is that, we wonder? Stupidly excited, we are.

[tyrone]

Well, a timed exclusive is out, Activision has stated their goal is to make MW2 the biggest selling game EVER. So theyre whoring it out down to the Texas Instruments Ti-83.

So I guess it'll just be MS showing the game.

Yeah, I guess its possible. They did port MGS2 to Xbox, even though it was more than a year later and ran like shit.
