I'll be missing the Sony conference due to it being on at 1AM over here and I have an exam in the morning.

Really exciteddd, I'll be watching all of them at some point.

Looking forward to what Nintendo come up with, although I have no interest in purchasing whatever that may be.

GTA 5 won't happen imo - although I imagine Agent might get talked about more.

[Paracme]

Watch em all liveeeeeeee. PLEASE GIVE ME KOTOR3 OR SWBF3.

Really looking forward to this as well.

I'll probably watch all of the presentations, although I have a feeling Microsoft will be lacking this year with Sony announcing the new PSP and Nintendo with their new console. That said I do hope they have something more than more Kinect games

[dbgtz]

I'll be watching all three (that saying I'll only be watching nintendo for information about Cafe), woo for no exams tomorrow.
