Looks like I won't sleep on the night of the 18th. Thanks a lot, microsoft :p
Microsoft should learn from Nintendo and have their conference in the morning so I'll be able to watch it in the afternoon-evning :D
 
ok do i renew my subscription to ign or gamespot....................... which will be the better coverage?
 
If they ask me to work on Tuesday afternoon (Nintendo conference at 1:30NST here), I'm going to tell them I have an appointment at the bank.

Damn you Nintendo! ;)
 
I'll have to spend my Tuesday evening searching for a computer to go online with...I'll be on the road with my job and in a hotel, with no internet access. Since there's no chance in hell of some library computer getting into GAF during E3, I'll have to find basic details elsewhere.
 
Thank you!

I have absolutely nothing schedueled next week except for tuesday. I'll stay up for the Sony conference, but no Microsoft for me. :( I better make it home in time for the Nintendo one.
 
Damnit, my avatar and Nintendo's countdown don't match. Their countdown stops 1.5 hours later. Has the Nintendo press conference been rescheduled or something?
 
3pm for me. Looks like another short night. Ho well, at least this year it's LIVE ! Finally !
I'll record everything and put online all the trailers as soon as possible :)

Cool, didn't think the Sony conference was this early..
No sleep for me tommorow night it seems..
 
People are so retarded. Time zones are such a simple concept. Look up your time zone, look up their time zone, do the math. We shouldn't need a thread for this.

I think the countdown clocks are using the time variables that query the viewers PC for the time rather than a server. You can change the time on your computer and they react accordingly.

Very true. Man I can't believe people remember that. It was a whole year ago.

I'm just sick of people asking questions on the internet that could be answered faster and better with Google. We don't need a thread for "If it's 5:00 here what time is it there?" when Google can give you an answer.

There are lots of threads we don't need here of GAF ... and posts too...
 
Ah shit I thought Sony's conference was going to be in the morning...missing it total. :( At least I'll get Nintendo's...
 
Kinda Off-Topic here...but I didn't wanna start my own post for a stupid question like this. What is gonna happen with the GAF forums during the days of E3? Is it going to be Members only? Is the Off Topic forum gonna be closed? Just wanna know if I'm gonna need to spend all my time watching the videos come in through IGN because some non-member wants to flood the board.
 
Looks like I'll only be able to watch the crappiest one(XBox360). Man is gonna be torture waiting to get home tuesday afternoon.

I thought that visitors don't affect the forums, only the amount of posting does.
 
Central European times:

Sony: Tuesday 17th 0:00 | Not confirmed live <- Can't Sony simply put the Powerpoint files on their website?
Microsoft: Tuesday 17th 03:00 | Available live at Xbox.com
Nintendo: Tuesday 17th 18:00 | Available live on IGN.com/Gamespot

Time to pull an all-nighter I guess... :D
