Several movie theaters in North America will air PlayStation’s E3 LIVE on June 15 from 6:00 – 8:30PM. Gamers can also see a post-show put on by game presenter and former game journalist Geoff Keighley. Tickets for the screening are free and available beginning Wednesday, May 27, at 9AM PT.
Xbox Daily: LIVE @ E3 will be aired Monday – Wednesday from 4:00 – 5:00PM PT on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and both the mobile and desktop versions of Xbox.com. The program includes demos, trailers, and interviews with game developers. Xbox will also air a briefing on Monday, June 15, starting at 9:30AM PT, on the above devices as well as the Xbox Live Event Player, Windows TV, and Spike TV.
