E3 2009 – Press conference and liveblog timings
It’s time. Mike’s got his Speedos and “Super Bunny” mask on. Steph’s been over-drinking preparatory coffee for weeks. Nathan’s so wired he’s only capable of muttering the words “airline” and “spreadsheet”. It’s E3. In LA. We’re going. You’re watching. You probably want to know when to tune in and what to expect.
Below are listed the press conference timings for next week. Note: All times are for west coast US (PST). That means you add eight hours for UK time (BST) or nine hours for Euro time (CET). We’ll be flagging up the conferences in the hours before they happen, so you shouldn’t get lost.
For planning purposes, though, here’s a run-down of what we’re liveblogging. This isn’t a definitive list of what’s happening at E3 – this is just the stuff you can watch here live.
Monday, June 1
10.30am – Microsoft press conference
2.00pm – EA press conference
5.00pm – Ubisoft press conference
Tuesday, June 2
9.00am – Nintendo press conference
11.00am – Sony press conference
6.00pm – 7.30pm – Miyamoto round-table (Note – We’re a little unclear what format this is going to take or how it’s going to pan out, but we’ll do our best)
Wednesday, June 3
3.00pm – Konami press conference (Note – We very well may not be able to liveblog this. We’ll keep you updated)
Obviously, we’ll be bringing you a head-fucking amount of news from the showfloor, so keep it locked VG247. We will never tire. We will never surrender.
Any questions, pop them in the comments.

Don Mattrick isn’t doing the MS conference is he?
Cannot stand that guy at all…it’s not the same without Peter.

Getting excited now! Which ultimately means ‘huge disappointment’ if previous years are anything to go by.

Yep, EM, we’ll try. Looking at the schedule, I think Nathan may have his hands full, though

I thought that Microsoft press conference is at 10:30,
or is 9:00 a time when you start livebloging?

It definitely is 10.30am. Maybe 9.00am’s the registration opening.

Just as a heads up, that song actually did stick in my head all the way over night.
Which is not fun, especially since I didn’t sleep that well.

though last year was a disater for Nintendo and lackluster for Nintendo, I am saddened that there will most likely not be a RAVI drums moment this year…sniff…
