Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo's E3 press conference dates

This year’s E3 is almost upon us, blessing mere mortal videogamers with knowledge beyond their grasp as to what’s in the works among celestial corporate clouds.

Microsoft are first to deliver their press event at E3 2011 on June 6th, while Nintendo and Sony share June 7th. Time zones mean Sony’s starts 1.00am for Brits.

Here’s the E3 2011 press conference calendar from the ‘big boys’:

Microsoft: Monday, June 6th at 9.00am PST / 5.00pm BST.

Nintendo: Tuesday, June 7th at 9.00am PST / 5.00pm BST.

Sony: Tuesday, June 7th at 5.00pm PST / 1.00am BST.

5 hours will make up Sony’s press event with the remaining 3 and half hours ”a special event immediately following the press conference”, they teased. This could be NGP related or some other kind of ‘toot your own horn’ party - frankly they need it after PSN’s troubles.
