Where to Watch E3 2012 Conferences Online

The industry’s biggest, most hyped event is upon us next week and that means that we only have to endure a few more days of the unsubstantiated rumours and outright lies that are circulating in the gaming press. Nick and I will be over in LA reporting what’s really going on through our lovely E3 2012 tag. Expect lots of previews, hands-on impressions and pics throughout the week.

The big publishers will be streaming their conferences online for everyone to watch. Here’s where you can find all the conference streams for E3 2012 and here is your E3 bingo card, courtesy of Sonic Wrecks.
