If you don't have a ticket to the E3 convention this year (and I believe you don't), there is a way to still take part in this grandiose event, even from the comfort of your home. Just as last year, Microsoft is allowing Xbox 360 users to find out exclusive E3 details through its second annual E3: Bringing It Home, which offers downloads on Xbox Live Marketplace of the hottest content from the show.

Just as soon as the
Expo starts, gamers sitting in their couches at home will get the chance to see what the upcoming Xbox 360 games are, as well as entertainment line-ups presented at the E3 Media & Business Summit, the biggest video game industry event of the year. Yes, of course it will be in HD, is there anything that's not HD anymore?

As the official report today reads, from Tuesday 10th July until Friday 13th July, Microsoft will be bringing E3 home to owners of the Xbox 360, as they connect to the Xbox Live. So, without further ado, here's what Xbox 360 owners will be able to download in HD, directly from the show:

■ Video updates direct from the show

■ A selection of game trailers, themes, gamer pictures and demos from the hottest E3 titles such as:

"Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation" (NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.)
"Assassin's Creed" (Ubisoft)
"BioShock" (2K)
"Blue Dragon" (Microsoft Game Studios)
"Burnout Paradise" (Electronic Arts Inc.)
"CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE" (Activision)
"FIFA Soccer 08" (Electronic Arts)
"Guitar Hero III" (Activision/RedOctane)
"Lost Odyssey" (Microsoft Game Studios)
"Madden NFL 08" (Electronic Arts)
"NCAA Football 08" (Electronic Arts)
"Need for Speed: ProStreet" (Electronic Arts)
"Project Gotham Racing 4" (Microsoft Game Studios)
"The Simpsons Game" (Electronic Arts)
"Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08" (Electronic Arts)
"WWEŽ SmackDown vs. Raw 2008" (THQ)

And, as you may have already imagined this will be just the tip of the iceberg. You don't expect all the developers and publishers soon-to-be present at the E3 to divulge everything before the event even begins, now do you?! So, all you have to do is stay tuned to the Xbox Live calendar for updates and hope there will be more on your favorite titles.
