Eurogamer, the largest British gaming website, has just announced that they are to cover E3 from start to finish and broadcast their coverage over the Net. This means that you can tune into a streaming video broadcast of E3 throughout the event this May. Two television crews will be sent to Los Angeles to cover the event.

Viewing the content requires no additional software or plug-ins, which makes it easy to view service. Eurogamer TV currently shows game trailers and other game video content on its sites. Over 100,000 users have already viewed content, even though it has only been a month since it started. It's so big that even companies like Electronic Arts and Square-Enix are using it to advertise their games.

When E3 hits, expect the number of viewers to surpass a million. No longer do we need to tune into G4 to see our E3 coverage, we can now watch a show by real gamers.

If you've been looking for evidence that the internet is slowly killing TV, well, look no further.
