b'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.
