E3 2009: Press conferences, keynotes and TV coverage schedules

It’s time to once again get ready for the annual event of much gaming goodness known as E3 2009.

Here’s a list of the announced company press conferences and keynote address. We’ll be Live Blogging several of these conferences, so watch the site for constant updates all week. For a taste, check out our 2007 and 2008 coverage.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka E3) is a media-only event presented by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) taking place June 2 through 4, 2008, at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) in Los Angeles, CA (USA).

It is interesting to note that, much like last year, Microsoft has once again secured the first conference and Sony is taking the cleanup slot the following day.

Also notice that we’ll be Live Blogging the big three (Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony) press conferences. We’ll also be updating this post with content and links whenever necessary.
