You could say the same exact thing about the change from PS2/Xbox to PS3/360, right? I have all my old Guitar Hero stuff for PS2, though I almost never play it anymore...

I have a PS2 GH guitar and a Wii GH guitar in my basement.

I've got to agree with Wombat that having a headset jack on the PS4 controller is a big deal. One of the big reasons I prefer Xbox Live over PSN (and consequently buy 95% of multiplatform games on 360) is that everybody has a headset. Sure, it means that those annoying 12 year olds also have headsets but that's what mute is for. If everybody who buys a PS4 will have a headset that doesn't need to be charged, some form of party chat that's equivalent to XBL's party chat is available, and PS+ remains to be such a good value, I could see myself becoming a PS4-primary type of guy next generation (if only they could make the PS4 controller have offset sticks like the 360 controller!).

I thought the PS4 meeting was interesting but I didn't see anything that got me excited about the PS4 as piece of equipment. I'm not interested in broadcasting my gaming activities to the world. I'm definitely not interested in getting a console with built in cameras and microphones since I mostly game in my bedroom...both from a privacy standpoint and the fact that I don't have room (nor desire) for any kinect like gaming either, so I feel I'm just being forced to buy features I don't want. For me, I didn't see anything to change my mind that my next hardware purchase will be for a small PC to be used for gaming exclusively. I think there will be a minimal number of console exclusives on this next generation of hardware and I suspect that I can easily get by not playing them...I didn't like any of the previous killzone games and after the snoozefest of Halo 4, I'm done with that series as well.

Given Cheapy's shift to mostly the PC side of things over the last 18 months or so, did Cheapy see anything to make him think his gaming PC will be the item gathering dust in his living room in 2014?

Love the show guys, first commenter here... This one was a very good episode, I dunno why so much hate in the comment section.

I think the PS Plus sales/free games was blown out of proportion... I mean it's the same with Steam, I don't buy any games near an upcoming holiday because I know there's gonna be a discount coming... this is cheapassgamer isn't it?
Yeah its annoying when you buy something and then it's free... Tell that to the bunch of people that bought Orange Box on steam to get Team Fortress 2 and the it went Free-to-play...

So Wombat, have you seen 'House of Cards'? It's on Netflix and I think its great TV, maybe borrow an account and watch it?

Wombat, a couple episodes ago, you mentioned a book you were reading about Batman. I can't find the podcast, so I was hoping you could repeat the name of the book.

In that vein, have you read Sean Howe's Marvel Comics: The Untold Story? I "checked" it out of the library last week (I love books I can check out digitally) and am about halfway through. It's interesting as hell; of course the Kirby vs Lee and the tyranny of Jim Shooter is well known, but there's a lot of fascinating behind-the-scenes stuff. I recommend it if you haven't read it already.
