I'm not sure if this is the same every where, but I'm at at the G4 live stream page when I find myself greeted with the disgusting "You're not an american so fuck off you can't watch this video" pop up. I have always gone to G4 to watch the streams because for some reason every year all the other sources I have tried always lag really badly and cut out half the time, while G4 has always had perfect video. Anyone else encountering this revolting thing other places, or is this just G4 being dicks?
E3 2011
Concept »
The 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on June 7-9.
WTF? E3 Live streams are region locked now?
Everyone seems to be broadcasting their own stuff this year, so check out those streams. You'll likely have little trouble there.
Sucks that G4 is restricting it though.
America only. No North in North America allowed.@Vito_Raliffe said:
@Axxol said:Hulu will be streaming it.Aren't they region locked too?Yeah I think Hulu is NA only. Watching on xbox.com, only thing up is a "starts at 9:30 PDT" thing.
My mistake. I thought Canada got it too.@Vito_Raliffe said:

@JJWeatherman: I got the gamespot and game trailers ones going so we will see how they work out this year, but in years past they never worked for me. They always lagged to the point that they were unmatchable, or they were of such low quality it looked like I was watching a close up in Japanese porn it was so pixellated.
Great analogy. In my experience streams are always a mess and vary every year, so I'm prepared to jump between websites until something works.
