If you can't get to E3 to check out all the big announcements you will be able to get the next best thing as Microsoft and Spike TV have struck a deal to air 'Xbox 360: The Future Revealed' live and commercial free on June 6. There will be many other ways to watch the press conference though including through Xbox LIVE.

Hosted by Geoff Keighly, the special starts at 12:30 p.m. EST / 9:30 a.m. PST and will be a 90 minute look at "the biggest and best games and entertainment set for release later in 2011 and beyond."

“Spike continues to be the leading partner for the video game industry year-round, and our ongoing relationship with Xbox at E3 is a key part of that success,” said Kevin Kay, president, Spike TV.

If you can't be around a TV that has access to Spike TV, the press conference will also be available to stream on GameTrailers.com, Facebook, mobile platforms like the iPhone and iPad, MTV.com, Spike.com and Xbox.com/E3. For the first time, viewers will also be able to watch the full HD briefing on-demand on Xbox LIVE.

“We are excited to be back again this year working with Spike TV and MTV Networks to broadcast our E3 Media Briefing to millions of consumers around the world,” said Don Mattrick, president, interactive entertainment business at Microsoft.  “We encourage everyone to tune-in Monday as we world premiere our exclusive line-up of leading blockbuster games, showcase the next wave of innovation for Kinect and demonstrate new ways to experience the entertainment you love.”

So what does Microsoft have planned for their press briefing? For starters, there will be a brand new demo of Gears of War 3, a look at Forza Motorsport 4 and promises a new innovation for Kinect.

Awesome. I really liked watching it on TV last year.

Nowhere to be seen in the UK... :/

But seriously though, Microsoft's conference only?

I'm not flamebaiting here, but unless Don Mattrick catches fire and burns to death on stage, Microsoft's conference will be the least entertaining of the three.

Well, I hope their E3 is better than last year because it suck. MS better bring some new core IP/Exclusive to the table because my Xbox 360 is dying to get some play time at the moment and PS3 exclusive is just shitting all over 360 this year and probably the following year as well.

All I have to say is finally! It always sucked that you couldn't easily watch the E3 event if you wanted to. Anyway the larger the audience they show it to, the bigger the incentive they have to put on a good show to please their audience and from their perspective hopefully get them to buy more Xbox 360 stuff...

I hope most of the games they show on stage are multiplatform.

hell yea i was hoping spike was going to but exclusive air time for microsoft confrence again , now i can watch this one at least due to direct tv getting rid of the g4 channel

Man too bad they can't have it live on Hulu or something cause i would like to watch this on my TV.

Can I borrow your Crystal ball, because I really want to know who wins the Stanley Cup this year?  

Depends how much the postage costs are.

Do you want Don Mattrick to burn and die too?

I don't gt it why Spike? Why not G4?
