It has begun! The Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 has finally graced us with its presence. Starting today (roughly the gates open at 8:00am Western Time all three big wig companies will hold their annual E3 press conferences. This is where Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo get a chance to "wow" the rabid fan-boys and fan-girls with new IP's, demo's, a minor plethora of announcements and a giant scoop of rumor control.

This year looks to be promising. Why? Well, because the real E3 has been put on hold for the last two years and has sat "back-seat" to that short lived teeny-tiny E3 event no one liked. The fans demanded the spectacle that was E3 be set back in place complete with loud music, gaudy stages and of course...the booth babes. And would you have guessed it? POW, the industry once again has catered to our whim and given us back our baby: The Real E3!

Our first E3 post is simple; show you the big list of times each corporations press conferences will be held at. Check back to Warp 9 daily and we will try diligently to formulate some opinions on how each conference went. Hopefully we can break some "new" game news to all of you. Here goes:

  • Microsoft Press Conference: Today June 1st, 10:25am Western
  • Nintendo Press Conference: Tuesday June 2nd, 9:00am Western
  • Sony Press Conference: Tuesday June 2nd, 11:00am Western
My prediction for best Press Conference of 2009:

Here's to hoping we get some killer new IP's today!
