Well, it's that time of the year again. After two years of being completely irrelevant, everyone is talking up this year's E3. I guess they were tired of losing to PAX and didn't want them to gain momentum.

Anyway, here's the scoop on the Big 3's conferences:

Microsoft:
June 1 - 10.30am Pacific
June 1 - 6.30pm UK
June 1 - 7.30pm EU

Nintendo:
June 2 - 9am Pacific
June 2 - 5pm UK
June 2 - 6pm EU

Sony:
June 2 - 11am Pacific
June 2 - 7pm UK
June 2 - 8pm EU

Now, for some random, convo-starting material:

Capcom has two gigantic announcements lined up for E3, which was announced at their event earlier this month. What will they be? New Megaman? Resident Evil?

Nintendo is keeping their cards close to the chest, as always, but this is gonna be the event to unleash what the WiiMotion+ is truly capable of. I expect WiiSport Resort, Red Steel 2, and....either a new console Mario or Zelda.

I would prefer Twilight Princess 2 and Super Mario Universe.

Microsoft is feeling good about beating Sony so far. What will they do to expand their lead? How about Halo 3: Recon? Bungie should have a new IP coming, as well.

Sony has something to prove this year at E3, so I believe that they will show off a fantastic new IP, in addition to God of War III. Starhawk is getting some whispers, is this a sequel to Warhawk?

StarHawk-WarHawk in space

DEVIL MAY CRY 5?!?!?!?!?!

Also, I'm still angry at Nintendo for making a new DS that will eventually play games that DS lite can't.

Also, I am highly looking forward to God of War III.

I'm always hoping that we'll see Konami announcing a new Goemon game and that it'll be localized. Then again, that hasn't happened in nearly 10 years.

Hey, I can always dream, right?

Hopefully there'll be some talk about Pikmin 3.

Hey, it took 12 years for Mother 3 to be created, so anything can happen.

I want to see some one pick up Duke Nukem Forever.
We were so close to a release. A REAL release.*sob*

E3 is only a couple of days away! All the fun starts Monday Monday Monday!

FYI, I know E3 is not until June 1, but people are releasing stuff on their games before to get attention before the show starts. Therefore, I'm counting it within the E3 period.

In fact, I'll say PR-E3.

Sorry, raising the flag on that one.

Oh, also don't be surpised if we hear something about a more slim line PSP other than the thin. A little bird told me that we might be able to expect a PSP with twin analog sticks and a sliding display and such. But we'll know soon.
