    Yep, you heard that right. In Microsoft's never ending crusade to act as my mommy and daddy, they have decided that I am not old enough to watch E3.

    No Caption Provided

    Obviously I'm really frustrated over this, but there must be other places to watch the show online, right? Do you guys know of any? Preferably sites that won't block me because I'm a little baby (apparently)?

    Gametrailers will probably do something. Or maybe create a false hotmail account?

    Well, as much as it sucks for you I understand why they are doing this.  They want to make sure they are in compliance with the ESRB and they are going to show M-rated games.  It doesn't seem fair but video games are under such a microscope now they have to do things like this.  But, you have a lot of other options for watching the press conference.

    Does YouTube do live streams now? Didn't know. Hopefully it isn't as broken and horrible as Justin.TV.

    Just flip on G4, I don't trust my internet enough to watch the live streams, so I'll just watch it on my big TV without having to worry about it.

    They did it last year (in association with IGN) and it was a pretty awesome stream.

    Probably because there's some 18+ material in those conferences? Just go to those other mainstream websites (GT, GS, G4) or G4TV if you have that channel.

    I used to do that....turn on G4 while I play some games or something, but I can't anymore.  DirecTV stopped carrying G4.

    Gametrailers has great HD quality streams. I prefer going to that site over GB's suggestions.

    I never use my real DOB even though I'm 21. It's easier just to scroll to something 20+ years ago, click, profit. I forgot how much it sucks to be that young.

    He probably can't.  It's the official Xbox website's stream.  If you have to log in to watch it, which I don't know for sure, then Microsoft already knows his age from his XBL account.  He would have had to lie whenever he made that.  Unless it really is just an age gate.

    Nothing that concerns us individuals apparently.  I'll still go to GameTrailers for their solid HD streaming as they haven't let me down last year.

    no they are totally doing E3 coverage...they just can't stream the microsoft conference on TV since spike has the deal with microsoft/gametralers...G4 is doing the ubisoft and Sony conference tomorrow as well as a stage shows every day of E3...and the nintendo conference on tuesday. G4 usually does some pretty good E3 coverage
