Stupid Rogers just took Spike off the VIP cable tier......the one time of the year where that channel is actually useful SMH

Streaming it is

Yeah i have to wonder how bad the ratings are for this stuff if they can't push another episode of cops back for a bit. They did say Nintendo's conferences had the best ratings the last few years

 

[Kibbles]

Hey Geoff, the next Bonus Round is going to be a E3 Preview, correct? Are you doing Sony or Nintendo first?

I'd assume the order of the conferences. I think that's how they did it in the past

 

[PTG]

I don't understand why Spike isn't broadcasting Sony's press conference on TV. I'm pretty sure more people would watch Sony's E3 presentation than 1000 ways to die.

 

[geoffmk]

Do you know (and more importantly, can you share) how long MS conference is going to be yet?

90 minutes of wall to wall games is my understanding.

 

[RiverBed]

are there any other candidates?

 

[Strike]

So Sony's conference won't be airing on TV this year. Anyone know a good place to watch for those who don't have Vitas

I hope they have an ad as good as this for it

My first time seeing this.

My body wasn't ready.

You also have to factor in that their regular primetime programming is filled with ads while a 2 hour Sony conference during primetime would have to be free from commercial breaks or else people would just jump over to one of the dozens streams that will be available. If anyone is at fault here, it's Sony. They should have worked out a deal with Spike or some other channel after G4 died. At the very least they should have written a PS3 video app ages ago so people could get a high quality stream for these events instead of being stuck with the PS3 browser/Home.

If you have a 360+Gold you could use one of the media apps (IGN, GT, Twitch) to watch it. If you have a PC, Sony should have a stream up on Ustream. GT's stream should also be good.

Since Sony's conference is not gonna be on tv they are probably gonna go all out and have it streaming everywhere they possibly can.

I wasn't alone!

Usually they stream it on all the major gaming sites, PS.blog, & Ustream. It should also be available in Home, Ustream in crap quality via the PS3 browser, and there's apparently work being done for a Vita solution.

Probably via the Vita Nico Nico app like last year.

If you have the choice, why would anyone choose to watch this on live television instead of live streaming on the internet?

Seriously, there is absolutely no advantage to watching E3 on Spike TV versus watching E3 on gametrailers.com

Somebody tell me what I am missing here.

Well, if it's not too much trouble to hook up your PC or laptop to your TV... and I imagine it's not for most people

My cable connection is a lot more reliable than my internet. No potential buffering during cool moments, or shitty resolutions.

 

[derFeef]

90 minutes of wall to wall games is my understanding.

Mhhhh. Good E3 again.

 

[Rebel Leader]

90 minutes of wall to wall games is my understanding.

My only question is how much of those will be kinect? Hopefully few

I have a poor internet connection. Satellite is all that is available in my area. I can stream the conferences, even in HD if it is a clear day, but that isn't always the case. With television I don't have to worry about buffering, resolution, my download limit, or even the weather (mostly).

Think about how much assuming you've been doing in your last two posts...

All the conferences can be streamed via GT 360 App accordingo Keighley. I think the GT app is behind the pay wall though.
