Hey--I don't remember seeing the "emails have to match rule for the Raffle". Not that I regret donating, 'cause it's a good cause, but still...

edit: yeah, never mind about the email raffle thing.

I agree w/360 being console of the year--everything came together for MS in 06, particularly with Gears in the latter half, but there are a good number of A level titles now, XBL/XBLA, HD-DVD, and more. The only thing the 360 doesn't have is the lowest price point and a web browser. I only see good things from Xbox, if things continue as they have been this past year. A $100 price drop could put Sony out of the running with PS3.

Good comments on the Wii VC--Nintendo needs to offer some freebies once in a while to get more of the casual people to download stuff.

I've also sort of changed my stance on the whole Front Page issue--I really don't want to see too many deals highlighted for the reason that it kind of does cannibalize goodness from registered CAGs. Just knowing there's an awesome clearance @ TRU or whereever may be too much info, but maybe not. oh well...

Who won the rest of the stuff?Are you PMing the winners?Damn didnt win anything.Really want Xbox 360.Oh well,dont care,it was all for a good cause.Now feel the wrath of Mr.Resetti.

I will have to email the winners (tonight, before I go to sleep) as their paypal email addreses didn't match up with their CAG accounts.

I haven't listend yet, would I know if I won already regardless?

he means he didn't want to say the personal emails on the Cagcast. you're still entered in the raffle, just won't be announced publicly.


good cagcast so far =D

Cheapy again you miss the point on MotorStorm. I have been playing the stinking demo for over 4-5 hours and still having fun. I think you may have to re-think the way you are talking about the PS3.... its like you have a stick up you-know where.. MS is a great racing game as it is. ANNNND there is no reason to think that it will be even more awesome when multiplayer comes out. I understand it does not have all the modes a like PGR3 or Burnout... but the main thing with MS is the wide open sandbox like terrain ... there is so much to do. Now onto co-op that should be in there but its still a great game worth the price of admition.. Whos to say that they won;t patch it on the asian version in the future as an upgrade, you know they will... try to be a little more positive it almost sounds like you are being funded by the big MS and I detect a little Fanboi in your talk about all that is PS3. Stuff for the PS3 that is good about the PS3 does not deserve your wrath. Spend your time on why they did not include rumble in the controller or why the On-line store is so slow for USA users. Just so you know I own a 360 and a PS3.

Oh on more thing I signed up to Play Asia ordered MS - no thanks to you for the review. God instead of returning it so soon you could have sold it to a CAG user cheap!

Forget about having all the modes, it doesn't have any modes besides a single player race!
Also, racing around in a circle over and over doesn't satisfy my definition of "so much to do".

I'll be positive about the PS3 when I have a reason to be positive about it. Right now, to me, it is a disappointment.
If you are impressed with it, I'm glad you feel you got your money's worth.

I'm a grown ing man and could care less about which company "wins" the console wars.
All I care about is playing good games and cashing that fat check I get from Microsoft every month.

On a completely unrelated note, I've decided I need to upgrade to a less shitty microphone.

Stop. Just stop typing.

GAMING FACT: 99 times out of 100, when someone uses the word "fanboy" while trying to make a point, it's because their own fanboy feelings have been hurt.

100 out of 100 if the spell it "fanboi."

Why can't I seem to get this episode? iTunes isn't downloading it and trying to do the direct download from here isn't working, either. :(

not working for me either

i guess this also means if you have not gotten an email yet then you didnt win

not working for me.

you know what would be nice for the 360

to be able to eject the tray when a disk is in it. and the choice to not autoload games once they put it in.

still it gave us dead rising...

also for DS games...has either of you guys tried trauma center?

Chromehounds vs. Armored Core

both are developed by the same developer From Software...also the people who gave us Metal Wolf Chaos.

Yay! I tried again and this time it worked (iTunes feed).

Now to go listen...

I'd have to say my favorite moment on the CAGcast was on 53 or 54 when Wombat was telling Cheapy about his rat problems and Cheapy started to gag, nearly throwing up.

Hilarious shit!

I can't download the new episode. :(

I can't download the new one either.

Works now. Downloading @ 850kbs - WOW!

The download link does work.

works for me after a while
