Japan Wood Xbox 360 Faceplate

Downloading the show now--looking at the 360 faceplate I can tell you that I'd pay the full US$20 American retail for a faceplate for that one. I have the US version faux Wood faceplate witht that crappy red stripe. Anything I can do to not make my living room look like game central is great.

Womblat always talks about buying an upscaling DVD player...but why not just get a VGA cable for your Xbox 360? Instant upscaler.

Probably because his video game machine can only play video games. Even if it has the other features, he only wants it to play video games.

Where's the Digg link for the new episode ?

For me, that doesn't help as I have USA 360 which won't play JPN DVDs.

Ouch. Forgot about that. Sorry.

wow just finished episode 61 this morning....

hows the hd dvd selection in japan?

and cheapy you bought madden... nooooooooooooooooooo

Great episode . . .

And Phoenix Wright 2! I need a new DS game and I've never given the PW series a try.

Yeah, so my dad bought a ps3 as a blu-ray player so he could watch some movies on his 62" hdtv in the basement. After I ordered the cheap hdmi cables with a link from CAG he finally got everything set up for a full hd movie experience.

Turns out his year old 60+ inch tv doesn't support 1080p. And the curses flew.

Also, if you have any copies of Phoenix Wright 2 still hanging around... well... look no further.

Wario for me, please, thanks.

I'm hot for Wario

Great show, by the way, loving it.

This was a great episode. Wario for me.

Wario for me, please. You had another great show

Cheapy,

The problem you had with the audio from the blu ray movie was that it probably defaulted to a track your receiver doesnt support like DTS HD audio. This happened to me on Saw 3. If you do not change it to regular DTS or DD ex your reciever will only accept it as Dolby Pro Logic.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the greatest western of all time.

Toss my name into the hat for Socom please.

I really enjoy the PodCast. As a fellow PS3 owner I have to agree with Cheapy, it is nice to have but it I really only use it to check my messages on it, and occasionally jump on a game of RFOM.

I ordered a copy of RailFan from Play-Asia, I am kind of excited about that, waiting for that to arrive. Another Cheapy recommendation.

If Cheapy ever gets around to calling out my name for a free give away I would like th PSP - SOCOM II Fireteam Bravo.

Look forward to hearing the interview from the game store owner.

And one last thing this whole comment of Tombstone being the greatest western every? Come on! I will definately put it in the top 5, but I think we are forgetting a really great western Unforgiven.

Keep up the good work, I am hoping to see a really tall, bald Mii of Cheapy show up on my Wii some day HINT HINT, that is my friend code at the bottom of your un entered friends request.

Good Stuff. I live in Wisconsin and the temperatures are insanely cold. Without the CAGCAST to help pass the time as I walk to and from campus I would surely die.

Wombat Rules, but not as much as Cheapy

Wario is my game of choice.

I never noticed that all of Ubisoft's games involve killing Mexicans.

Listening to the show at work. I have too many games I still need to play. Right now most of my playing is done on the DS on the subway. I'm halfway through PW 2 and it is great for the subway, I can play with one hand. Wario may require more dexterity but I'd like to try.

Hmm... it seems like someone at Cheapy's Alma Mater really enjoys video games. There was another study earlier this year involving video games and the University of Rochester.

Found the link:

In the infinitely remote chance that you'll randomly pick my name and that people won't think it's fixed, I'd like that Wario game.
