    Ah, too much stuff to look at, but apparently here is some Wii info from EGM (haven't backed this up yet):

    $249 Price tag
    Virtual Console (we knew this)
    3d Controlle (we knew this)
    ALWAYS online (console is always online, even when OFF)
    Built in speaker on the controller

    edit: Ok, the SE conference is finally over.
    Here's what Gamespot has on the event (some of which I already posted):

    If only Square-Enix made the FF series on Wii, then Wii would be the console to get for me. Crystal Chronicles doesn't do it for me.

    Actually, it's much closer to Planetside. And yeah, I'm not too hyped up about the game.

    Is there a firm ship date for Zelda: Twilight Princess?

    Following up on the Wii info from EGM:
    I'm guessing Nintendo will give a firm release date for Zelda tomorrow, or sometime during E3.

    Not sure exactly. We'll probably find out more tomorrow. Most people expect a Fall release.

    The Sony conference will be starting soon (~15 minutes). I recommend that you guys check out the Gamespot stream of the event if you want updates on the event, or at least any of the text updates at these sites. I suck at trying to pay attention to a video while typing updates, so I probably won't post much during the conference. You guys can post updates and stuff during the event, and I'll post some thoughts after the event is over (unless I can get a few comments in here and there during a dull moment or something).

    This is getting pretty exciting. :)

    E3 is like the NFL draft for videogames. Tons of hype that is sometimes more fun than the games themselves.

    E3....LOL - you guys are nuts, I have worked every single E3 and this is the first one I am taking off....ever......

    E3 is a big ole waste of time....lots of glitz, very little substance.

    It is a place for marketing people to lie to the press, and the people.....

    And this year they outlawed booth babes......

    I am happily avoiding it.....just this year....
