Live coverage of Microsoft's major E3 news

  • Welcome, everyone.
    by Rich Brown
  • We have Dan Ackerman, Scott Stein, and Daniel Terdiman live at the conference, along with a few other CNET types (Molly Wood, Brian Tong), doing what they do.
    by Rich Brown
  • Hey, Scott Stein here as well. Seated at Microsoft, watching a giant green screen at the Galen Center as folks file in.
    by Scott Stein
  • I'll be moderating comments, right up until the start of the show. After that we'll leave it to Dan, Scott, and Daniel.

  • everybody amped?
    by Ricochet07
  • Hey all -- Dan Ackerman here, seated just off the floor for a change. I'm usually up in the nosebleeds.
    by dan.ackerman
  • Either the crowd feels quieter, or I got here earlier.
    by Scott Stein
  • So, so amped.
    by Rich Brown
  • As far back as I can remember, MS has done the first press conference of E3.
    by dan.ackerman
  • I'm actually interested to see if this Smart Glass thing comes off.
    by Rich Brown

    by Dem0ney
  • by James Martin
  • And, it's always the most competently produced one, with the best speakers, the fewest technical flubs.
    by dan.ackerman
  • @Dem0neyt, yup, the video feed will start at 12:30 ET
    by Rich Brown
  • What are you expecting to see today?
    by Nickjjack
  • Oddly, I'd expect that from sony, with its big media background, but the Sony press conference is always punctuated with awkwardness.
    by dan.ackerman
  • I'm knee to knee with Scott Stein here at the Galen Center. I think we're literally in the same section as last year (sec. 112).

  • ?
    by Scott Stein
  • @Nickjjack: Halo 4, Kinect update, maybe this smart glass thing. New Gears of war.
    by Rich Brown
  • I think my elbow just posted a question mark.
    by Scott Stein
  • And Bakalar! Forgot to mention Jeff. He's at the show as well.
    by Rich Brown
  • So what do you think the chances of a new Kinect will be? Or can they just do software updates to improve Kinect?
    by xboxnerd
  • Prediction: Microsoft trys to pretend people care about Kinect
    by Strategery
  • halo 4 gameplay
    by Ricochet07
  • In the audience so far, lots of MacBooks, a smattering of iPads.
    by dan.ackerman
  • Any info on Dawnguard? Or will that be Bethesda?
    by Zap
  • Someone next to me has a camcorder! I'm sitting in 2003.
    by Scott Stein
  • Welcome, everyone! I think Xbox is doing something this morning. If not, there's going to be a lot of unhappy gamers/game journalists in LA. :-)
    by Daniel Terdiman
  • Judging by the big Halo 4 promotional mirror sticker I found in my hotel room, I'm guessing H4is going to be the big sell here.
    by dan.ackerman
  • by James Martin
  • Dawnguard is a 360 timed exclusive. Definitely expect to see something about it.
    by Rich Brown
  • I care about Kinect!!! I use it for Netflix all the time. Better than a remote.
    by xboxnerd
  • Personally, I'm interested in possible Windows 8 integration -- but I'm unsure what kind of useful form that could take.
    by dan.ackerman
  • What game is gonna kick off the press conference? Halo 4, Black Ops 2, Gears 4, or GTA 5?
    by Jeff Bakalar
  • What I use the Kinect for: voice-based Bing search. And...that's mostly it.
    by Scott Stein
  • Or, Windows RT. As it's unfortunately called.
    by Scott Stein
  • I use Kinect so my kids can play bowling and not chuck a remote through the screen (She's 6)
    by Dem0ney
  • Halo RT! Had to get that out there.
    by dan.ackerman
  • @jeff.bakalar The Black Ops 2 trailer looked horribe
    by Nickjjack
  • Looks super awesome. I suppose they may show us IE for xbox?
    by danthemuffinman
  • I am on windows 8 right now. Despite what many people say, I find this new interface fresh and intuitive.
    by xboxnerd
  • Black Ops... ugh...
