Yes, your parents are very Jewish sounding. "you call this dining?"

The reason the 20gb PS3 is going away is because Sony is dropping it. People want it, but Sony will lose more money.

You know what is good to compare all games with: price. You guys should know this.

Just finished listening guys. Good show, no complaints .

Nice to see Wombat is getting some use out of his Wii (finally). All potential or perceived puns intended...

I played through just the first two chapters of Super Paper Mario tonight (1-1 and 1-2). It is very wordy at the beginning and so far very simple but I'm assuming things will open up and get a bit more challenging very soon.

It was more of a long winded way of asking "why the are you focusing on MTV and EA like the game's now doomed to failure because they're involved?" not " u. Harmonix roxxorz!! Tell me n ur voiceses!!!" like you guys assumed. Just spin this again so you sound like the good, logical guy, Wombat.

PS. The press release does mention the Rock Band peripherals. Here's the whole thing: CAMBRIDGE, MA - April 2, 2007 - Harmonix, developer of the blockbuster
Guitar Hero(tm) franchise, MTV: Music Television, a division of MTV
Networks, a unit of Viacom (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), and Electronic Arts
(NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced Rock Band, an all-new platform for music
fans and gamers to interact with music like never before. Rock Band
will allow gamers to perform music from the world's biggest rock artists
with their friends as a virtual band using drum, bass/lead guitar and
microphone peripherals, in addition to offering deep online
connectivity. Built on unprecedented deals with the world's biggest
record labels and music publishers, the music featured in Rock Band will
span all genres of rock and include many of the master recordings from
the biggest songs and artists of all time. Rock Band is slated for
release on PLAYSTATION(r)3 computer entertainment system and Xbox
360(tm) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft(r) in holiday
2007.

The leading music publishers - EMI Music Publishing and Warner/Chappell
Music - are allowing unrivaled access to their catalogs of incredible
songs for use in Rock Band. The record labels - EMI Music, Hollywood
Records, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group's Universal
Music Enterprises and Warner Music Group's Rhino Entertainment - have
agreed to supply master recordings by their artists for use in the game.

"Harmonix was founded to create new ways for everyone to experience the
pleasure and satisfaction that comes from playing music. Our work on
Guitar Hero was an instrumental step toward that goal," stated Alex
Rigopulos, co-founder and CEO of Harmonix. "But Rock Band is Harmonix's
most ambitious project to date, and it will take music gameplay to an
entirely new level. MTV has given us the freedom and the resources to
really swing for the fences and make the game we've always wanted to
make."

"Our vision for Rock Band is to completely change the way people
interact with and enjoy the music they love," said Jeff Yapp, EVP, MTV
Program Enterprises. "By joining forces with EA and the music
industry's largest record labels and publishers, we are striving to
create a groundbreaking new platform that allows people to connect with
their favorite music and artists in ways they never have before."

"Rock Band is a revolutionary new way for gamers and music fans to
experience music," said David DeMartini, vice president and general
manager of EA Partners. "The team at EA Partners is thrilled to help
MTV and Harmonix launch this incredible game on the global stage and get
it into the hands of gamers worldwide."

As previously announced, Electronic Arts will serve as the exclusive
distribution and marketing partner for Rock Band, managing distribution
for the game in US, Europe and Australia.

Nice choice by the misses for picking Super Mario Bros, Wombat. I never owned an NES and mostly only played it with emulators, so it was nice to be able to own it legally now and it's a lot of fun. It's probably the only other VC game besides Kirby's Adventure for me that still plays well to this day.

Another good CAGCast... Cheapy/Wombat, got one comment and one discussion point for you:

Cheapy, thanks for recommending Saint's Row so highly... I bought it, my wife is now hooked (she mainly played GTA: San Andreas for the past few years), mostly on the online mode. I now can't touch my 360 and had to get her a separate LIVE account. Thanks a lot : ) I've barely gotten a chance to play it at all.

Discussion point: Shipwreck's comment about Galaga on virtual console, related to the easy and cheaper availability on Gamecube/PS2/Xbox compilations, brought up one of my pet peeves with backward compatibility.

I bought just about every old school game compilation there was for the Xbox, and find the fact that they aren't on the backward compat. list for the 360 suspicious. Obviously MS makes more money selling each of these on XBLA for cash, individually. Obviously, also, there is no way they'll release everything that way, so we're left out in the cold on some of our favorites, like Elevator Action, Sinistar, etc. Any way you could use some of your connections in the industry to try to pry an honest answer out of MS regarding this?

People sharing birthday's isn't really that amazing once you under stand the math. You only need a group of 23 people to have a 50% chance of a match and 30 people will make it increase to 70%. 57 people has a 99% chance of a match.
