Tagged! Nice Mic. You do sound "bassier". More radio-like, if you will.

As for the contest, I don't even have a PS3, but here's hoping I win Resistance: Fall of Man (thanks Cheapy and daphatty for the prizes)!

Good show. Not sure what to say about Cheapy's 360 in Japan proposal.

I'd love to get Killzone Liberation for my new PSP.

You should have read the Kotaku version of the "noise" article. It explains it a little better:

http://kotaku.com/gaming/wii/and-acc...-is-228652.php

It's all about averages. The 360 is noisy when the disc is spinning, but on average, it's not as noisy as the Wii.

Great show though. The new mic is nice.

I read it...I still call bullshit. There is no way the 360 isn't the noisiest at all times.

So far so good; the show is a lot more upbeat this week. Nice to see the chemistry back to form, Cheapy/Wombat. And there is a definite improvement with the new mic, though it is a little bass-y, like Wombat said.

Also, I would certainly approve of receiving a free copy of Resistance: Fall of Man. (And I actually want to play it! ..at least, eventually!)

Very nice of Daphatty for coming up with prizes for the CAGs.

Way better sound quality then last show. Great Mic , Nice work Cheapy and Wombat. Also the 360 TagLine is hilarious. I think a great idea Cheapy

I wouldn't mind some Killzone: Liberation.

I've always found when I turn my Wii on, the audio coming from my TV/speakers is really loud... but that's about it.
