Microsoft E3 conference dated

Microsoft has confirmed that its 2013 E3 Xbox Media Briefing will take place on 10 June at 3pm GMT.

For those not lucky enough to attend, Microsoft community manager Major Nelson also revealed that the conference would be streamed live online.

"Invites to our #E3 Media Briefing went out today," he said on Twitter. "Didn't get one? Don't worry - we'll be streaming the show."

Microsoft is set to reveal the next Xbox at an event on 21 May, and will likely use E3 to show off launch titles for the console.
