Here's When and Where to Watch All the Live E3 Press Conferences

You know, if you're into that sort of thing.

What will Iwata hold in his hand this year? Actually, wait, better question: what can you Photoshop Iwata holding in his hand this year?
What will Iwata hold in his hand this year? Actually, wait, better question: what can you Photoshop Iwata holding in his hand this year?

We're a mere 24 hours away from Microsoft's E3 press conference, AKA the distinctive moment when we can all say, "Okay, E3 is officially on." I'm sure if you ask Konami, they'd like to think their conference ushered in E3 2011, but come on, let's be realistic here.

If you have it in your head that you'd like to sit down and watch all of these live conferences, like some kind of game news junkie who just can't quite take a large enough hit to satisfy your excruciating need to know about every single new console, handheld, exclusive game, and what have you, we are here to provide you with a handy dandy schedule and list of relevant streaming links to ensure that you'll be able to take your "medicine" at the proper intervals.

Monday, June 6, 2011

Tuesday, June 7, 2011

And, of course, just a friendly reminder that we, the Giant Bomb crew, will be broadcasting our own "live press conferences" throughout the week of E3, straight from Haus der Bomb. Somewhere in there, Jeff will finally reveal his plans for the Jeff Gerstmann HD Collection. Spoiler: It's just a burned DVD full of videos like this, but in the highest quality definition.

I seem to remember GameTrailers doing a good job streaming last year so I'll propably catch it there. Sony's gonna be rough cause it's super late, but I'll get some energy drinks or something.

Let's do this!

For the record I've always found Gamespot's streams to be totally reliable. I've gone there first for years and the quality and what not has always been great for the most part.

I'll watch them on Gamespot as they have been the most reliable website for me over the years.

I think these are the times in the UK : 
 
Microsoft Press Confrence

EA Press Conference
8:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Ubisoft Press Conference
10:30 pm - 11:45 pm

Sony Press Conference

Nintendo Press Conference
5:00 pm - 7:00 pm 
  I would love someone to check I'm not stupid at maths...

All look fine to me, except you made a slight mistake with the start time for Microsoft.  It should read 5.00 pm.
 
Edit: Apologies, the mistake is mine.  I based my assumption on 5pm from converting the time that Alex quotes in his article.  But when you go to xbox.com, it states 5.30pm after all.  Presumably, the site is automatically showing local time etc.

Weirdly enough I'm on vacation in France for this year's show. So now I know how it is to be a whiny European moaning about time zone differences and missing some of the live stuff.

Man, Monday's gonna be super busy, with 4 conferences followed by Giant Bomb's live stream that evening.

And Alex, your writing is always so entertaining, keep it up.

Easier way to watch everything: http://www.youtube.com/e3 The live streams will be there.
I agree.  I settled on the Youtube channel providing the best reliable coverage after checking out all the other options last year.

I won't watch it online because of buffering, lagging, or any other means that might happen while watching a Live Streaming. I'll just watch it on G4, and in this year's case, Spike for the conferences.

My plan to see X-men First class tomorrow perfectly coincides with this, making me miss Ubisoft and EA's conferences, while still seeing the big 3's.

Prepare to be pretty bored 90% of the time then pretty excited for the stuff they show in that other 10%.

It seems I'll only be able to watch Ubisoft and Sony. Can't really complain, though, I own a PS3 and I'm always eager to see what Ubisoft is coming up with. I'd really wish I could see Nintendo live this year.

If I remember correctly Gamespot archived all the press conferences after streaming them, but I could be wrong, always good to look around. 
 
Until then we can only wish Gianbomb can bring us live coverage of the press conferences in the future.

Hey Alex, can you or anyone from the staff open up GB chat tomorrow during E3 conferences? I am sure several people here would like to chat instead of posting on boards when the conferences are being broadcasted live.

JG in 3D HD!

I'm happy to say I do not have time this week to watch both the pressers and the GB livecasts. Guess which one I'm tuning in to?
