E3 2009 Conference Live!

E3 2009, is a magical time and probably the most exciting part of the year, when gamers around the world are teased with the announcements, trailers, and demos of upcoming titles from our favorite publishers. Of course, some companies are followed a bit more closely than others, and almost no one is followed closer than Nintendo. Rumors are swirling about what the company is planning to announce and show this week.

GameSpot, as usual, will be bringing you the very best coverage of E3 2009, which includes live video of the Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft press conferences and over 19 hours of video from our stage show.

Here are the details on what you can expect to watch live at E3 2009 and when:

Microsoft Press Conference: 10:30 am PT, June 1
Electronic Arts Press Conference: 2:00 pm PT, June 1
Ubisoft Press Conference: 5:00 pm PT, June 1
Nintendo Press Conference: 9:00 am PT, June 2
Sony Press Conference: 11:00 am PT, June 2
GameSpot's Live E3 Stage Show, Day 1: 2 pm - 6 pm PT, June 2
GameSpot's Live E3 Stage Show, Day 2: 10 am - 6 pm PT, June 3
GameSpot's Live E3 Stage Show, Day 3: 10 am - 5 pm PT, June 4

Please note that these are all estimated times. The press conferences usually don't start right when expected, so these times may shift slightly.

One major new thing this year is that we've unveiled our stage show schedule early, so you can see what to expect beforehand. We're still holding back some surprises, so keep an eye on those TBA slots as you won't be disappointed (and of course be sure to tune into the Unannounced Title slots!).

Finally, as indicated, all times are listed in US Pacific Time. If you have a different timezone, you could have some conversions so that you could arrive on time for the scheduled events.

I'm excited to attend the conference to see the game updates. Are you coming to? What will be the biggest game update?
