E3 06: GameSpot has pre-E3 conferences covered
Expect free live streaming broadcasts of two out of the big three E3 press conferences next week (Sony and Nintendo), followed by on-demand and downloadable versions of all of them.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo technically begins on Wednesday of next week, but those who have followed the show in years past know that a lot of the biggest news breaks before the show even begins. Specifically, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft will once again be hosting media from around the world at their respective pre-E3 briefings, during which it's expected that each of them will make significant announcements about their new game consoles. GameSpot will provide comprehensive coverage of each of these pre-E3 conferences, letting you experience the information download just as attendees of the conferences will.
