With E3 2011 just around the corner, some may be wondering where they can watch the press conferences for each of the major console companies as they unfold.

In order to help you plan your day, we've compiled a short list of each company's official sources to watch during the event.

Microsoft - Monday, June 6, at 10AM (Pacific)
- Airing live on Spike TV
Sony - Monday, June 6, at 5PM (Pacific)
- PlayStation US Blog will offer the conference as a live, embeddable stream
Nintendo - Tuesday, June 7, at 9AM (Pacific)
- Official Nintendo E3 website stream

These are of course the official sources. Other outlets may have the blog available, but in some cases the conferences are exclusive and have been subject to blackout sections in the past (Eg. Content being blocked).

Getting excited for the big show? Who do you look forward to seeing take the stage the most?

  Remember when G4 used to air all of E3? Those were the good old days... (and I'm talking about last year)

  And Apple's WWDC keynote will probably be overlapping Microsoft's, for those interested in the iOS gaming market.

    No it doesn't - E3 sucks to attend in person, you get higher quality content from the comfort of your browser.

      I dunno, I always have fun going with my friends. If its by yourself then yeah, it is the same thing every year and it kind of sucks. E3 is an excuse to hang out in different circumstances. :)

  Bleh, E3 is a bunch of business flexing to people who aren't even gamers. The other 10 percent is actual gameplay.

    So is Left 4 Dead 3... Be nice, but so soon after Portal 2, with extra content already confirmed for it soon? Unlikely. Maybe Ep 3, but not L4D3. I think those are just hopes though. It DOES say it's based on both confirmed info AND speculation...

  this is fucking retarded "foreign language voice over will have the option of being said in English, but unlike other Battlefield games, this time, they’ll be said in “broken English”, with an accent."
  
  they did the same fake "accent" thing in the shogun 2 demo and holy crap was it annoying (the german version didn't do it and it was perfect). same applies to fake german/russian accents or even worse when they had a non native dude who had a semester of said language in college speak the part....
  
  also obligatory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA3WNCzp5_k&feature=player_detailpage
