@rhonin, that could be because the IGN widget counts down to 11:30 on your computers which wont necessarily be the same as the time it actually starts

Thanks. Now I get it. I just have to entertain myself for the next 8 hours.

Has it started?

Math is complicated ;) if my math is correct that it will start 15:30 forum clock, thats 16:30 CET.

 

 

yea, that's what I got aswell from TheSource's post... so it depends on whether or not TheSource calculated it correctly

ok... well,

the world clock ( http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/custom.html?sort=2 ) says in Los Angeles it's 3:15 am at the time of this post and according to IGN the MS press conference starts at 10:30 am local time, so it should start in 7 hours and 15 minutes

for central europe (CET) that would be 19:30 pm, so it's 18:30 pm UTC - australians should be able to calculate their time from the UTC time (and if you don't know how your timezone relates to the UTC, then have a look at the world clock)

I know that, and that's what I said before in this thread, but it seems to me he made a mistake calculating the time (or I did one in my calculation just now, but I'm pretty confident I didn't, if IGN's data is correct)

Well it's 11:30 LA time, so I think it will be 6:30 BST (GMT +1), meaning 1:30 EST

Hmmm... to stay up, or not stay up. I just might tonight... (and keep playing Okami, or even do some coding...)

So another 4-5hrs?

really 11:30 am local time ?

I don't get any direct hits for that time at google, but I get several for 10:30 am (search is "microsoft press conference e3 2008 10:30 am local time" ).
