In this episode ex-video game journo Chris and freelancer extraordinaire Greg:
- Blatantly thieve the "what'cha been playin'" segment popular in many\npodcasts and use it to talk about Final Fantasy XII, Sam & Max,\nPhantasy Star Universe, Elite Beat Agents, DDR and Strawberry\nShortcake(!).
- Talk about preorders. Gears of War, the various Halo 3 editions, and\nGamestop's ability to sell you slips of paper that say you have a game\non reserve a year before it's due out.
\n
\n- Talk about microtransactions (again). EA being a repeat offender with\nNeed For Speed Carbon. We also take some time to talk about the pricing\nof Nintendo/Sega/TG-16 virtual console stuff. Somewhere in there we\nalso stray into talking about the failures of Xbox Live Arcade.
\n
\n- ...and in the last segment we reminisce a little bit with stories of\nsystem launches / launch windows past from the perspective of working\nat a video game magazine.
