Microsoft's Press Conference Streamed Live!
matt chandronait
Microsoft has graciously allowed us to stream the press announcement right here on our little corner of the web. Yes, we know you can watch it elsewhere, but we figured it would be a great way to share our experiences with yours. Get some comments going and maybe we can kinda turn this into an interactive thingamajig between us and you!

Its great to see it will be in HD, just hope the servers are able to keep up. Kind of out there but I hope to see Republic Commando 2.
there isn't a live chat anywhere?
Microsoft better not make the entire conference about natal or kinetic or whatever the hell waving your arms like an idiot is called. I came to see the AAA titles but stay for the Indie games.
dirtytea in the house bitches!!!
my #1 wish from this press conf. is to hear from Irrational. I hope they show something!
Wow it really is HD, nice :)
All i get is a black screen will this feed work on an iphone
Squat and gobble!
Woo! Irrational!
Is anybody else as uninterested in Black Ops as I am?
I don't really care about MW 2.2 either. Metal Gear Rising on the other hand...
Wait, did he just say that the only big hits are on 360?
@Tucker ... Yeah but all we've seen so far is a cinematic. *crosses fingers for gameplay*
As long as I get to cut heads the way I get to cut watermelons I'm in.
Am I looking at bigfoot wrestling a unicorn?
Gears of War!!!! Jason just had an accident in his pants
Rising looks interesting.
*sigh* Looks like I'll have to try and write my next book club post while watching this press conference.
Way to be obtuse.
I saw swords and axes and I'm gonna go ahead and assume 3 player co-op. I'm not sure what the heck that was, but I'll take it.
Damn it! Problems with my PC and iPod.
If Halo Reach has Colony Wars-ish spaceship battles, I'm sold.
Too bad I don't use Zune anymore.
Yes! Strawberry and raspberry waffles while watching E3. Props for still living with parents!
I guess this is a big deal to sports fans :)
Ryan thinks they're going to announce Hulu, too
@Melissa ... Yeah, you kind of win :)
@Matt Yes I do. :)
Can't they send their presenters to some public speaking courses before making them do this?
As a fan of sports, I love it!
I'd think all of these guys are media rained, but the problem is they have to follow a script so there's no way for them no to sound stilted.
Oh my god! Cuteness overload. Can I keep them? Please?
KinKats!! ;p
Whoa, what happened. I dozed off right after the Milo tiger thing.
I'm starting to feel really guilty about all the whip cream I put on my waffles.
So, I kinda want this dancing game. In fact, I think it's the only Kinecf thing I've seen so far that I'd definitely get--unless the Star Wars thing is awesome
@Matt I want it too. *hangs head*
LOL My little sister is gonna be all over this!
I dont want the dance game so much as I want to sit around and watch other people play it and laugh.
Must. Buy. New. 360.
XBox 360s to everyone in the audience. Microsoft is Opera.
That was disappointing.
Dammit I just bought an 120 GB Elite 360 AND a wireless adaptor 4 months ago. It's sooooo loud!
LOL Oprah. Opera is a browser.
Wow, crazy! Too bad we had to set up for a different job and couldn't be in that audience. We were watching it online just like y'all. Still, I was hoping for some more Kinect surprises to get me super into it. Of course CoD and GoW and Reach all got me frothing at the bit, but I knew that was gonna happen anyway ;)
thanks for watching with us!!
Meh, Its just words. WORDS WORDS WORDS! I really wish I were at E3 right now though.
Hahaha! I'd pobablu watch an Opera talk show ;)
Wow! Um, Nintendo blew my mind over and over again. Other than the Zelda screw up, I really really enjoyed their press conference. Sorry, I can't say the same for the rest of them.
Sony and Nintendo had their best years in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. Microsoft had their worst ever.
Wonder why you streamed only MS conference, are you guys payed to do that or just because you are MS fanboys?
I'm in a siimlar situation to Tychon above. I've been watching your vids since I discovered the 1UP show a few years back. I'm a working dad and don't get much (read: ANY) time to just sit down and watch stuff at home but have a good couple of hours commute time during which I used to watch co-op, amongst other things. Hell, I've cut my sleep down to 6 hrs a night just so I can get some game-time in.
I'd really like to watch the Area5 video content for EGMi and have no problem paying for it, the magazine would be more of an afterthought for me; it's the Area5 content I really want to see. As I understand it, I can't get the EGMi video content onto my iPod in any form at the moment. It's really frustrating as I love your work and am more than happy to stump up the cash for the privilege of watching it...it's just the medium that is defeating me at the moment. Are there any plans to make the EGMi content available in a more portable format? I really just want to be able to either purchase it from iTunes or convert and sync an AVI/MKV/MP4 etc. Help me Obi-Chandronait...you're my only hope.
Are you guys done with Area5.tv ? Been waiting for new content. Miss you guys.
What happened to updating the site?
hello, is anyone there?
Brick misses you!
