Will Eurogamer and/or VG247 be doing their auto-update non F5 live update thing? I’ll be on a train for the first half hour.

Me and some friends are going to watch the press conferences at my place via IGN’s Insider HQ feed. It worked flawlessly last year.

My Virgin Media has been playing up all weekend so on the uber shit backup line, looks like my streaming dreams have died before they begun

I’m tempted to try the Xbox.com stream, given the size of the window on the site it looks like the resolution might be fairly low but then I’d expect a fairly stable stream.

Yep, I’d try IGN first, personally. I’m sure Gamespot had issues last year. It’s a bit blurry, though.

Basiclly put:

G4 – DO. NOT. GO. THERE. I tried watching the MS conference last year from there, fail. It was utter shite.

GameSpot – Went there for the rest of the MS conference, had it’s troubles but was better then G4.

IGN – Would seriously recomend them, they had nothing wrong on their streams.

GT – This is there first time streaming E3, I dont know.

So go for IGN.

If you want the info first, you need to watch the liveblogs. The streams always lag. It’s just the nature of it.

I agree with Mike, Lag free please over uber res.

I’d say xbox.com, but XBL has been shite recently so I wouldn’t trust that.

I think I watched it on IGN last year.

I’m more concerned with lag. I want the streams to be “live” live, not “5-10 seconds” late live.

So who will have the best quality for free? (I persume some will offer HD for subscribers only or something)

I wonder if Mattrick looks more Tom Cruise this year?
