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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Posted May 5, 2006 does anyone know what media player ign stream their conference? My WMP doesn't seem to work, always crashes my firefox and i nternet explorer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2006 Panic over, any streams in Apple Quicktime? Tends to be higher quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2006 Presumably us Total Access members get better quality than you plebs though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 5, 2006 Cool find,might save me from subscribing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2006 I upgraded to Gamespot +. But Good quality is a must. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 5, 2006 i've subscribed too! love the site anyway and the jump in video quality being streamed is very noticiable! i think next month i'm going to sunscribe for a year! depends how good the forums etc are-been a member for months but never really looked round :S heres to a free nintendo press conference viewing for the world! just hope the servers dont crash etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
