We tried this last year and it was quite successful and people have shown interest in the other E3 thread so I thought I'd do it again. Now that we're only two weeks away it seems like an appropriate time to create it so people can bookmark it in time.

Last year there was some confusion about this thread and what it aims to achieve, so to put it simply:

1) If you don't want to know anything about the press conferences and can't watch them live, this is the thread for you.
2) Simply bookmark this thread or post in it to add it to your GAF subscriptions.
3) After the press conferences air I will update the OP with various links to the press conference in full. This may take a few hours for sites to upload their streams for repeat viewing.
4) Then, you can simply follow your bookmark to this thread, thus avoiding the headlines of gaming sites or the other thread titles on GAF, and watch them with no prior knowledge of what happens.
5) This isn't a discussion thread about the conferences themselves - there are other threads for that and we want to keep this spoiler free throughout.

Yes, some people want to watch them without knowing what's going to happen. We know a lot of you think that's lame, but the thread last year went around in circles, so please refrain from commenting if you have no interest in this thread.

I've booked the week off for E3 so unless something goes horrible wrong, I will be watching the conferences live.

But I think this is a brilliant idea, and is a great way for those not fortunate to be able to watch the conferences with us, to later experience the same revelations, betrayalatons and "one more thing" moments.

Great work.

Zenith · May 22, 2011

isn't it a bit early?

I don't think so. The other press conference thread is getting a fair bit of traffic and two weeks seems like a decent duration to allow people to discover this thread.

It's not like this will be full of discussion and constantly bumped

adamsapple · May 22, 2011

I'll support this just like I did last year, but it's way too early for this thread, no ?

Microsoft's conference is basically a week away. So it isnt to early by OT rules

Andrefpvs · May 22, 2011

Subscribing to this thread. Last year it was pretty useful since I missed Microsoft's conference (which later turned out to be a good thing).

You mean 2 weeks, right?

That's what I was thinking... I could have sworn E3 was 2 weeks away

lol, June 6 is two weeks away

Love the thread idea, though.

MiloFoxburr · May 22, 2011

Thanks for this. Now all I need to do is resist browsing neogaf before watching Sonys conference.

TimmiT · May 22, 2011

Great thread, I'll add it to my bookmarks. I won't be able to catch the Sony and Ubisoft press conferences.

Hahaq8 · May 22, 2011

THANK YOU!! i will be busy at e3 and this thread will be useful.

oh yeah, your right. I must have my head in the clouds today.

Deleted member 81567 · May 22, 2011

I probably won't need this but still subbing.

Neuromancer · May 22, 2011

I'm hoping to watch at work but if I can't I'll be using this thread. Thanks!

Goldmund · May 22, 2011

Thank you, Foliorum Viridum. Subscribing.

BobTheFork · May 22, 2011

So much happen during E3 that we keep getting new thread with the info because you can't keep up. Having the 'what did I miss' info from from every single E3 event in one place seems like a nightmare.

Why would you do that? · May 22, 2011

Great thread.

Last year, I was out for Nintendo's conference, but I recorded the conference myself and watched it later.

This year, I don't have G4 anymore (thanks DirecTV ) so if for some reason I miss a conference, I'll be here.

Iwatas Magic Sports Coat · May 22, 2011

Don't you US guys get G4TV? They show the press conferences commercial free. Why not just tape them? Doesn't everyone have DVR by now?

SaintMadeOfPlaster · May 22, 2011

Thanks a lot! I was already dreading having to somehow find the conferences without headlines ruining it for me.

not me.

Why buy one when everything is on the net

iPlayer, itv on demand, all that stuff.

captscience · May 22, 2011

Great idea. Subscribed.

HolyCheck · May 22, 2011

This is a wonderous idea! I'll be moving cities / houses around the time of E3 so I know I wont be able to keep up but would love to get back to the conferences after spoiler free

G4 is being axed by a lot of cable networks like crazy. I used to have it, don't anymore. I know a lot of people are the same.

Kinyou · May 22, 2011

What a great idea, I appreciate it very much

Cranzor · May 22, 2011

Fantastic idea. I'll be able to catch all the conferences except, of course, Nintendo. Sigh. So this is really great, thanks.

Slavik81 · May 22, 2011

So this thread is for talking about everything except E3? Or the entire purpose of this thread is a handful of links in the OP?

Gomu Gomu · May 22, 2011

Sony's conf. is super late here. There's a huge possibility I might miss it. This thread should come in handy.

Negator · May 22, 2011

Yeah, I'll need this just in case I need to work late Tuesday night.

laika09 · May 22, 2011

I'll be travelling during E3 so this should come in handy. Thanks.

Lakitu · May 22, 2011

Thank you so much!

Mikey Jr. · May 22, 2011

Thank you very much Foliorum Viridum. Good guy.

Now I can watch it in peace when I get home from work.

Messi · May 23, 2011

Thank you kind Sir, this was a great help last year.

rdrr gnr · May 23, 2011

Pretty good idea actually. Luckily I'm faking my death on June 6th to free up some time the next day.

McNum · May 23, 2011

The latter. It's so late arrivals can see the conferences without knowing what to expect, so when the big announcements are made, they can get to be surprised just like those that watched it live.

legend166 · May 23, 2011

I wonder if I can avoid seeing anything until I get back from my holiday (June 25th).

Dead Man Typing · May 23, 2011

Cheers.

KAL2006 · May 23, 2011

shouldn't you do the same thing as last by adding a Twitter account to follow which has all the links to the press conferences as GAF would be having 500 errors due to server overload around E3 time

Foliorum Viridum · May 23, 2011

Last year the site was pretty good and Twitter wasn't needed. I assume that will be the case again this year!

NomarTyme · May 23, 2011

Zenith said:

Yep.

graywolf323 · May 23, 2011

wonder if Sony will put up video of their conference on PSN afterwards like they did last year

a Master Ninja · May 23, 2011

I'll probably use this thread to experience the Nintendo conference.

Data West · May 23, 2011

Can't wait for Nintendo to not announce Xenoblade and Last Story for North America.

creid · May 23, 2011

I'm taking the days off and watching the conferences, but I think this thread is a great idea for those who can't.

adamsapple · May 23, 2011

Indeed it is, as someone who was at work during all the three conferences last year I agree.

Well at least there isn't nearly as much opposition to the thread this year as there was last year.

upandaway · May 23, 2011

Thanks man.

ChocolateCupcakes · May 23, 2011

This is awesome, I'll need this since I will be attending summer classes and work on those days.

You should check with your cable provider. It's probably free. My DVR is free through Cablevision (NYC)

You're not missing ANYTHING. It's basically COPS marathons with 1 Xplay 1 Attack of the Show and then more COPS. it's an awful station. But it's great to watch the E3 conferences in HD on your TV while sitting on your couch.
