Sites providing E3 2006 video coverage?

Well, Nintendo usually provides a feed on their site, but if I remember correctly, the live feed is usually not on par with some of the subscription sites. Perhaps things will be different this year, but what (in you guys' opinions) is site with the best history in providing higher qualtiy streams of the conferences and sufficient info from the booths?

IGN Insider and GameSpot will obviously be providing live conference streams. You guys have any advice on which of those two usually ends up with streams that suffer the least from the bandwidth issues? Also, beyond conference streams, there's always a lot of other info to cover - and I know IGN has done a great job in the past of providing speedy info/videos from the floor, but does anyone do it better?

Also, if you guys know of any other sites, please list 'em!

If someone has also recently started a thread like this on another board that I have not noticed, please feel free to give this guy the ol' lock treatment.

Gamespot provides it for download after the fact, I think. Hopefully, at least, since I won't be able to watch anything until Tuesday night.

G4 is providing live E3 coverage but I don't know how detailed it is going to be. If they are going to show live coverage of all of the big 3 presentations, I am going to be recording that show all day during E3.

That'd be pretty rad. I still wish I had G4.

F'ing basic cable, what can I say!

Looks like the official E3 site is offering some feeds. It's hard to tell if the big 3 presentations are going to be free or not.

The Wii's Flash animation brought Nintendo's site down. What do you think video coverage of their presentation on Tuesday is going to do? Yeah...

I'm much more excited about E3 this year then any previous E3, since we got DSL a few months back and I'll actually be able to stream and download videos. I can't wait to see the press conferences.

Gamespot will have Sony + Nintendo live, and MS an hour after it ends. All free to watch too.

Tagging to suck the juicy morsels of information out later. I believe the site offering the free DVDs is also offering some sort of online video service, but I'm not 100% positive on the details (time, what's being taped, etc.).

Hmm... forgot times were in PST. I guess I'll have to take an early lunch on the 9th so I don't miss Nintendo at 12:30 EDT.

I don't know if I can be disciplined enough to not look at the spoliers before watching the video. GRAAAH!

She's probably going to be downloading all the demos from E3 off Xbox Live like the rest of us.

I hear she moved to LA to do porn after MS dumped her on the street.

They didn't last year, so I doubt they will this year. Besides, they have episodes of Fastlane to show.

The only think that sucks is that I'll be missing the Sony and Nintendo conferences since I'm busy during those times.
