In this episode ex-video game journo Chris and freelancer extraordinaire Greg: - Blatantly thieve the "what'cha been playin'" segment popular in many
podcasts and use it to talk about Final Fantasy XII, Sam & Max,
Phantasy Star Universe, Elite Beat Agents, DDR and Strawberry
Shortcake(!).- Talk about preorders. Gears of War, the various Halo 3 editions, and
Gamestop's ability to sell you slips of paper that say you have a game
on reserve a year before it's due out.

- Talk about microtransactions (again). EA being a repeat offender with
Need For Speed Carbon. We also take some time to talk about the pricing
of Nintendo/Sega/TG-16 virtual console stuff. Somewhere in there we
also stray into talking about the failures of Xbox Live Arcade.

- ...and in the last segment we reminisce a little bit with stories of
system launches / launch windows past from the perspective of working
at a video game magazine.Enjoy! Post comments here on our blog page (playerone.libsyn.com) or e-mail us at playeronepodcast@gmail.com.
