Gaijin von Snikbah Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 GameSpot is going to broadcast the Sony and Nintendo conferences for free, to all users. That means, you wont have to pay anything at all to watch. The Microsoft conference will be available for watching after its over. So if you wanna watch, you just have to tune in at monday and tuesday. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6149047.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatnickc Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 theres quite a few this year that will have feeds, i found these.http://www.gccafe.com/ http://www.ign.com/ http://www.gamespot.com/ http://e3.nintendo.com/ http://1up.com http://vgamin.com http://nintendonow.e-mpire.com/ they will all have free nintendo press confrence feeds, vgamin one im not sure will be posted at the actual site but one of the hundreds of member sites should have it. I haven't been able to find the pages on those sites saying that they'll do a free stream, and the link to the E3 stream thingy on IGN required memnbership.

Guest Jordan Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I heard about this, but i wasn't best happy. I just paied £12 for Gamespot Plus for a year so i could watch these, although any paid subscriber will get better quality feed and servers... so i suppose theres one up side.

Guest Jordan Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Panic over, any streams in Apple Quicktime? Tends to be higher quality. Gamespot use a Flash/WMP10 stream so it doesn't run outside of the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 its like this every year, but the problem is that they tend do get crammed and stop working. I'm still thinking about subscribing to gamespot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lillster Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I watched the 2004 Press Confrence, and the quality wasn't too bad. Btw, the fact that the confrence is free has made my day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowV7 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Cool find,might save me from subscribing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoDesiato Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Good news. Last year I tried watching the IGN stream without subscribing. Had to watch it without the sound and with the occasional black screen. I remember being pissed about missing the Metroid Prime 3 footage, had a black screen and after that I saw a big "3". Hope this free stream won't have any similar problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfHyrule Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 The only thing is, you can nearly be guaranteed that all those free streams will be badly clogged up with traffic, even moreso than other years in the past - this is the big one for Nintendo. I might subscribe to IGN or GameSpot for front row seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiemetriX Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I upgraded to Gamespot +. But Good quality is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Din Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I'm not sure if I should pay for Gamespot or IGN so I can hear/see the news straight away rather than watching a crappy stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyDluffy Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 i'm just gonna try and watch a stream, but if that fails I'll just wait for IGN to up load the vids! Also alot of websites are doing transcripts, gamesindustry.biz is doing a minute by minute transcript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfHyrule Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Done - I subscribed to Gamespot+! For £1.56 (according to xe.com ) that's not fuckin bad for all the HD and exclusive trailers to be downloaded this E3, not even including the 700k conference stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
