11:25 am - The crowd's obviously getting a little anxious. We're just a few of minutes away now.
11:29 am - We're shuffling in now, about to find our seats. Stay tuned as we get prepped and ready to liveblog.
11:46 am - We're in, standing in holding. They've admitted us to the teater but they're not yet seating. More to come.
12:05 pm - Still waiting ... no word yet when the delays will end and we can get seated but they have some video feeds in the hall and it looks like it shouldn't be long. Looks like Microsoft is going to have delays of their own, being that almost all of the press here is going to head over.
Yay!
Frist Psot!
"LERN 2 SPEL!"
:P
I'm like that kid that was so excited he threw up and passed out the night Halo2 came out.
Ow Kaye
I've always wondered why the heck to people care so much if they have "First Post"? I don't get it.
yay fith post! ;o)
ahh the calm before the storm......
come on Iwata DROP THAT BOMB!!!!
This was the perfect day to have a bad cold and not go to school!
This is exciting, I can't wait to see some game playing footage. I think the Wii is going to bring a whole new world of gaming, of course eventually I'll proably buy all the new consoles.
>> I've always wondered why the heck to people care so
>> much if they have "First Post"? I don't get it.
Especially as it usually consists entirely of "Yay first post"
I'm excited!! whoa!!
#11: I wasn't excited about the first post, I was excited about E3. What more is there to be "Yay!" about?
If you were actually referring to me, that is.
Uhm, what is with these times? It is currently 9:07 am, and I live a few miles from the Kodak theater!
I've been working with Sony on the developement of the PS3 for 3 years and we've been using prototypes of the tilt controller for about 18 months. Nintendo used corporate espionage to rip off our killer idea! I can't beleive they are getting away with this...
No only in general. No critisism intended.
Don't worry Sean, we believe you...
*rolls eyes*
"I've always wondered why the heck to people care so much if they have "First Post"? I don't get it."
They are competing for the title of "Worlds' Biggest Tool". It's a very competitive event with heaps of entrants...
I can see where one would be excired if this were one of endgagets funky contests (even that swag contest was preety cool) But a nintendo press event? nahhhh....
And are these things ALWAYS late? or it this just a bad year?
Surely motion sensing is straightforward stuff these days - it's all about who implements it well isn't it?
With 18 months dev, you should kick their ass then.. ;o)
C'Mon Nintendo! Let's get this show on the road. I have a final in an hour!
They are usually late. They probably do it on purpose to create anticipation and make sure any and all stragglers are ready and waiting with online feeds.

The great thing is that about half the time, it ends up being the second or third post after all.
Over an hour since the last update, what's going on?
23. "I've always wondered why the heck to people care so much if they have "First Post"? I don't get it."
Dunno, guess they get noticed more often. I suppose this would be great for people like me who puts their website in their name eh? Other then that you kinda forget after 2 seconds who Nick Ellsworth is. =P

What?! you don't have anything on your site. It's a pretty decent graphic, but it says comming June 1st! Nothin against you Hedgie, but you had to expect people to click on your site after saying that.
11th post! YAY
