Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Straight from the Nintendo press conference in Hollywood, we're coming to you live from Sony's E3 press conference in Los Angeles. 

As you can see from the above picture, Sony already have a leg up on Nintendo's food-less presser -- open bar. Also in attendance: grilled cheese sandwiches, fruit, and salad. Total win. 

But we're not here for the food (OK, we're kind of here for the food). Dale North and I will be live blogging from the event, bringing you all of the announcements and images straight from the press conference. Hit the jump for the fun (sorry, we're keeping all of the little bits of sausage rolled in bacon for ourselves.)

Waiting patiently with you. :) Been looking forward to this all day. And since I was disappointed in the Wii earlier today, I desperately need a pick-me-up.

I wonder how many people owned a PS2 before the "big games" came out. His RDF is blowing my mind.

"While exclusive DLC is nice, exclusive games are what make up consumer's minds."

Not sure if that's true. SC4 is selling the best on the PS3, many think possibly due to being able to play as Darth Vader instead of Yoda (on the 360).

Ya know..I'd figure the Wii has more exclusives, with all those shitty Wii-only games...*shrug*

Yes, it is. But I think it's so you won't really pay attention to what he's saying.
