Which means I am quickly getting away from the innuhnets.  I think all I'm going to be doing is the Breakdown(I'm getting into my summer schedule, so things are going to be a bit more consistent), and trying to figure out a place to watch the press conferences live from.  I think last year I checked out IGN...but I'll have the live blog or whatever Brad and Co. will be doing to keep us up to date. 
 
Basically, I'm going into video-game-news-abstinence until the day before E3, when I'm tuning into the Microsoft presser, then the Sony and Nintendo the next day.  It's nice to have a bit of a surprise every now and again. 

IGN is always the best place for those conferences.

Oh yeah, that thing. Maybe they'll FINALLY bring the virtual console to the DSi... Who am I kiddin'? Nintendo have broken my heart. I remember how excited these threads got me:

E3 is probably the only time when I feel like a geek. Staying up all night to watch the Microsoft press conference, just waiting for the Halo 3 announcement, was probably my lowest ebb.

What's the point, though?  I really don't care how I get the big news and I'll just be happy to get it sooner if anything leaks prior to E3.  I only pay attention to E3 as big news coming from the event is inevitable.
