Can’t Make it to E3? Check Out These Sites
The 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) doesn’t officially start until tomorrow, but the big players are already showing off their new products and game titles. Those of you who are not roaming the show floor as we speak can tune in to the conference via one of these channels:

Twitch – Xbox: A new Generation of Games Revealed
Microsoft teamed up with gaming startup Twitch.tv to deliver a real-time broadcast of its long-anticipated Xbox One launch keynote for online audiences. The 720p stream, which you can access for free via the link above, has already attracted over a hundred thousand viewers from around the world.
The gaming site is also streaming the Xbox One keynote, but unlike Twitch, it doesn’t inflict a noisy chat on its users. Some of you may find that preferable.
Computer Video Games will be streaming live from the Ubisoft press conference starting 3:00pm Pacific. CVG’s Chris Scullion started live blogging on the same page a few hours ago to help gamers burn time until the publisher reveals its upcoming titles.
An E3 video client will become available for download on Microsoft’s E3Insider portal tomorrow morning. The site offers video content, real-time news from the conference and game-related media.
Live Blogs
A number of major gaming publications will be following the event as it unfolds. Among the most notable ones is Joystiq, which set up real-time feed that lets you chat with other games and view photos from the show floor. Bloggers from CVG, Forbes, VentureBeat and a number of other sites are also following E3.
Twitter Accounts to Watch
Microsoft’s E3 Expo (@e3expo) and E3 Insider (@E3Insider) feeds are worth checking between keynotes.
