The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) today announced that E3Insider (www.e3insider.com) has gone live. The site provides information for the millions of gamers unable to attend E3, which runs May 10-12 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Among the features are "E3TV," which includes videos from the pre-E3 press conferences of Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony along with coverage on the show floor.

"E3Insider's new immersive, highly-interactive VirtualE3, provides game fans with unmatched 360-degree admission to the most exciting and exclusive moments of E3Expo 2006," said Douglas Lowenstein, president of the ESA, the trade association that represents U.S. computer and video game publishers and the owner of E3Expo. "From E3TV coverage at private, invitation-only exhibitor events to live action on the show floor not otherwise available to the general public, E3Insider's newly expanded coverage gives the most comprehensive inside look at the world's most important video game trade event."
