Thread will have links to all conferences after they are done and wil be spoiler free.

I've bookmarked and will watch Nintendo's conference Wednesday evening and will avoid MMGN during the day.
You guys better not post everything on your facebook, I'm too addicted to avoid that for a day [Shifty]

I'll have to get all the news when I get home from work, if I look before I go, I'll get distracted. :'(

Fine then! Be that way!
Microsoft set to reveal 'Xbox Smart Glass' tablet at this years E3

The last couple of weeks leading up to E3 have been good for anyone that loves insider information. Today’s leak is the largest one yet, and comes from Microsoft. The people behind "Xbox" and "Xbox Live" will be revealing the Xbox Smart Glass tablet behind closed doors to a select group of people. In the official “Microsoft Confidential” presentation, they specifically noted this:

- Will allow users to control their Xbox 360 remotely. Will be available cross platform on multiple operating systems including Windows, Windows Phone, Android and iOS.
- Applications will be accessible through the tablet. Such as Youtube/Netflix/Vemo ect.
- Live streaming ability through the tablet to the TV, desktop, lap top and other devices.
- A demo at E3 will be shown, but no live video will be featured

Is it just me or does it feel like most of the E3 announcements have already been revealed... [WTF]

I know what you mean, I see some posts and have to avert my eye's while i blindly click on the mouse so it takes me to another screen.
talk about your spoiler alerts -
There's a rumor going around PSN+ will have a revision announced at E3, and that it would be wise to buy three months before then......I'm very tempted to do it on the basis of hype off of a rumor :P

Pandemic said: Is it just me or does it feel like most of the E3 announcements have already been revealed...

This is why I love Nintendo, they've literally kept just about everything (nintendo ninjas shall get you if you leak anything) under wraps, so it makes it more of a mystery and more exciting! =D
I think this close to E3, it's to be expected. Everything is on the verge of being leaked and so on. It could also be to hype up events beforehand?

Well the PlayStation®Plus Content Manager for SCEE said ''By the way, if you don't have a PS+ subscription, now is the time to get one. For real. Just get 3 months if you aren't sure. Trust me.''

I'm tempted to buy it, but not sure. :'(
whats the point of getting PS+, whats the real advantages

Damn it! Now I'm considering! @_@

At the moment, just discounts on games, some free for a period of time, full game trials (that go for about an hour I think) and a couple of other little things not related to the PSN store.

At the moment it doesn't seem like much, but if the revision rumor's to be believed it'll be getting many more benefits.

Considering the fact there's rumors of a revision, and the content manager, of all people hinted at it I'd say do it. You can not get more close to having a revision of something good coming up soon for it being confirmed :P

ok thanks - its one of those things do i part with the money knowing what the future might hold.
It's like should i buy that block of land if you could only see in the somewhat future it would triple in value. :P
Yeah, I know how you feel. I was like that aswell :P
The benefits at the moment aren't that bad though, so I figured I mayaswell grab three months anyway and enjoy it even if a revision isn't announced.
Sony brings backwards compatibility to PlayStation with Gaikai deal
Sony's rumoured cloud gaming deal with Gaikai is to allow current-generation hardware to play PlayStation 2 and PSone games via a streaming solution, GamesIndustry International understands.

Oh yeah, I remember reading that might be why they're partnering with them. Would make sense and would be great if we had a giant backlog of HD versions of PS2 games on the PSN [Derp]
Found passport, cleaned apartment and did all my laundry 11 hours before my flight

1 hour before flight: arrested in airport bathroom with birds in your undies
1 hour before?

Over sleep and miss it by 5 hours is still on the cards.
