Microsoft's E3 briefing to be broadcast on Xbox Live

Microsoft's E3 briefing will be streamed directly via Xbox Live for the first time ever, the platform holder has announced.

As detailed on Major Nelson's blog, Microsoft's 90 minute-long show, titled Entertainment Evolved, gets underway from 5.30pm UK time on 4th June.

What magical things of wonder and delight is it going to show off this year? More Halo 4 seems a safe bet, but beyond that, who can say. Feel free to place your bets below.

Sony's conference is scheduled for 2.00am GMT on 5th June, with Nintendo following at 5.00pm the same day.
