Microsoft brings E3 to Xbox Live

We've got good news for those missing out on the queues and over-priced burgers of this year's E3; for Microsoft's goodies at least, you won't have to leave your armchair.

In an interview on Xbox.com, Microsoft boss Peter Moore reveals the company's plans to cover E3 on Xbox Live. "It is our goal to bring E3 home to Xbox Live members as best we can," he said, "we will give you the flavour of what's going on, on the show floor and some of the stuff that we are showing and debuting here." Moore then vowed that Microsoft would supply videos and news from the show "as quickly as possible."

Exciting stuff for those staying at home next month, but the Xbox.com article then goes on to suggest that Live coverage could go beyond just screenshots and trailers: "Xbox Live members should be able to play many of the demos that even the celebrities will be testing out at E3," reads the article. Could you be trying out Too Human and Viva Piñata from you couch come May 10? The prospect is certainly enticing.

We're already contemplating hooking up our Xbox and staying at home, but alas there are plenty more game companies to see. Look out for our full E3 coverage next month.
