Microsoft Dates E3 '09 Media Briefing

Company gears up for announcements.

Microsoft is alerting media to its E3 briefing.

The company said in an e-mail Wednesday that the briefing will take place on Monday, June 1 at 10:30 a.m. PST in Los Angeles.

Companies may find this year's E3 to be a prime venue for major announcements, as organizers at the Entertainment Software Association have decided to bring back the large-scale, high-profile, high-attendance format in 2009, as opposed to the last two years of limited industry access.

E3 2009 takes place June 2-4 this year at the L.A. Convention Center.
