Do you want Sony or Microsoft to do a "digital event" instead of an E3 press conference?

[Cheebee]

Everyone commenting on this all over the internet will be watching this at home. In front of a screen. As such, it doesn't matter whether it's a live conference or a pre-recorded one. In fact, for this audience, a pre-recorded one has more benefits over a live one, as there won't be awkward glitches or mistakes. The only people who ought to prefer a live conference are the journalists and other such attendees at E3. And their number is negligible, in all fairness.
