We?re also bringing back Xbox Daily: LIVE @ E3, our live show that covers everything Xbox happening at E3 ? breaking news, exclusive announcements, trailer reveals, game demos, and interviews with game creators. The one hour show will be hosted by Larry Hryb, Xbox Live?s Major Nelson, and Graeme Boyd, Xbox Live?s Acey Bongos, and will include guest stars and industry elites, including Head of Xbox Phil Spencer and guests from 343 Industries, Turn 10 Studios, Crystal Dynamics, and others.
