The excitement kicks off next month on June 9.

With E3 just around the corner, Microsoft has officially announced the details for their press conference that will take place days before the highly anticipated trade show expo at 9:30 a.m. PST. The “pre-show” coverage will be featured directly on Xbox live, Xbox.com and Windows Phone devices beginning at 9:00 sharp. More details after the jump.

The Xbox: Game On Press Conference is being touted as “one of their best shows” yet, promising attendees (and those who will be watching at home via Spike TV) are bound to remember. Truth be told. . . as long as they’ve learned from last year’s PR disaster, we’re hoping that this ends up being an historical occasion worth talking about too.

Rumors have hinted at a new JRPG, which reportedly is slated to be featured at this year’s show. What games are you hoping will be announced? Any particular surprises – sound off below in the comments.
