Like last year I posted the thread one hour or so before the conference so people can get into a happy mood. I am NOT exactly sure if we are gonna have specific company threads, but I honestly forgot to ask the mods. If it's not right, or someone else signed up to do this thread... then kill it with a fire!! =O!

Enjoy guys =). This E3 should be awesome.
EDIT: BAH! Accidentally hit submit on the wrong tab... great. Well, it's up 2 hours earlier. >_>
