Ah yes, it's that time of year again: where the CoN news page gets filled with the E3 icon!

If you've been keeping up with general gaming news, however, you'll already know that the doom-forecasters are predicting our annual icon-overload may come to an end soon - even that this year might be the beginning of the end. I don't particularly like these people.

While Square Enix won't be following the trend Nintendo is making with their absence from the Expo, they appear to have taken a cue from the idea of expanding beyond the conference center. Instead of taking the action to your local Best Buy, however, Square Enix is apparently bringing it online to a specially-created youtube.com account, linked below. The account, called Square Enix Presents, will live-stream the Square Enix booth at E3 for all three days. As such, it's being pitched not as a replacement but as an augmentation to the E3 experience.

The introductory video promises interviews, demos, and announcements of new titles.

"It's going to be more fun than flying a Chocobo. Okay, maybe not that fun... But really, really close!"
