I was thinking about watching it on Xbox Live but I might just watch it on Xbox.com so I can flip over here and toss in my comments. My 360 is in another room so I couldn't do it that way.

Super excited for this, hope the Smart Glass announcement lives up to the hype.

No laptop/tablet at hand?

I am pretty sure it won't! :p

It's suppose to be like Airplay, right? What devices will it work with?

I do own a netbook but it's been jacked by my mom, good look getting it back now. :p This is why I'm reluctant to lend out my stuff to family.

It's no biggy, I'm in the market for one of these new Win8 hybrid/convertible laptops anyways. Plus the netbook isn't great on the graphics side, just a low end atom system.

Going by a popular opinion around here, if you put Windows 8 on it - you should promptly get it back :p

Edit: The poor engadget guys are still standing outside (link in OP) and streaming...some idle people! :D I thought they'd all be seating by now!

[Nightz]

Using the app on the 360. 5 minutes until the pre-show starts. Can't wait since they keep replaying the same video while they count down. I'm getting sick of hearing "Welcome to E3 2011..." lol.

[BajiRav]

The Verge is inside! http://live.theverge.com/e3-2012-microsoft-live-blog/

[George P Global Moderator]

The pre-show video on xbox.com is up right now.

[George P Global Moderator]

10 minutes to go!

[SlimShady]

I wonder if they would announce anything hardware related that is worthwhile.

[NoLiMiT06]

I assume it's streaming via IGN on the 360?

[BajiRav]

The pre-show video on xbox.com is up right now.

Are you getting a very bad quality video as well? :/

Yeah, though my connection isn't the best anyways, but probably lots of people connecting, it should get better in time I'd guess.

The announcement just came in. Five minutes to go.

[SlimShady]

My first guess is that they'll announce something related to Windows 8. Kinect for Windows, multiplayer inhouse, etc.

e3companion site wont even load anyways. Guess it's getting murdered!

The service is unavailable.

THey just said in the pre-show that Halo 4 is the first one in the series to run natively at 720p. Incase anyone was wondering.

[NoLiMiT06]

I guess the Xbox stream is not going to work because when I launch the app it keeps playing last years crap...
