PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!!

Hey Cheapy and Wombat,
I live in Ireland and I'm getting a 360 soon and the best deal is a premium 360+extra controller+King Kong+Gears+Viva Pinata+Forza 2 for €400 at my local gamestop.I was wondering how this compares to the deals in NY and Japan. Whats the best deal on a 360 youve ever seen?

Also I've noticed that in America there is a different rating system to here T,M etc. In Ireland we have +3,+7,+12,+16 and +18. What do you think about this? Should the rating system be the same everywhere? What is the rating system in Japan?
Wombat rocks, love the show.

P.S. Ps3 Home looks great. What are your expectations and impressions from demos?

looks like Jeff Gerstmann and Ryan Davis have started a new website called GiantBomb.com. The idea is a video game blog that does reviews and so on. I dunno about you guys but im pretty excited seeing as gamespot has gotten increasingly retarded and boring lately. Do you think that their site will be successful seeing as there is already an abundance of video game sites, or do you think that their old fans from gamespot will be able to sustain their site?

Hey CheapyD and Wombat,

Awesome podcast by the way. I was looking for CheapyD's views on whaling from Japan. This is gaming related! Someone made a small indie game called Harpooned a while back. Here's the site: http://harpooned.org/. I personally think it's a really good idea in spreading the word, what do you guys think?

I am noticing a lot of non gaming people around me are buying a PS3 as a blu ray player (makes sense) but they have no interest in gaming. Is that all Sony is hoping for, to say look how many we sold ? What will happen when it turns out the software sales are not supporting the hypothetically large install base? I don't have a PS3 and have no interest in buying one currently (maybe after Home launches and there are at least 5 must play exclusive games)

WOMBAT--

Did you catch the trailer for the new Incredible Hulk movie? If you saw it, what did you think? If not, then:

Looks to SMASH Ang Lee's borefest into oblivion.

When are you going to start selling CAG shirts,hats,mugs?

Yeah, I was going to ask you the same thing Wombat, since you are a big fan of comics and such. So yeah, whaddya think?

EDIT: But also, what do you think about the Iron Man trailer? (Im stoked)

What is Wombat's real name?

Hi Cheapy,

My mp3 player just died and knowing you got an iTouch recently, I am thinking doing the same. My quesiton is, how convenient is the web browsing feature? I want one mainly because I want to be able to access cag on the go. Is it worth it? or it's just an expensive gadget you use sitting on the can. Love your show, and congratz to Wombat on the new job.

Hey Wombat, I just got done watching the King of Kong and I was wondering why you were being such an asshole to Steve Wiebe. The guy was obviously trying to play Donkey Kong and win a record, but you had to start gathering everyone around to add pressure to his game just because you were jealous that he was getting to the kill round. You need to realize that you're not the heir apparent to Billy Mitchell, who is a gigantic ass, and give someone else a chance.

what happened with the cag awards????

Wombat - which movie looks better - Iron Man or Hulk 2?

Cheapy - The digital download will never, *ever* replace discs completely. There are always going to be stubborn people, like me, who want a physical disc. On top of that, the incredibly ludicrous handling of the Xbox Live game issues that people like the Shipwrecks have had with their Xbox Live games are always going to discourage people (like me) from buying DLC altogether. For the love of god I still use minidisc!

You're dead wrong on this. I'd put money on it.

You always mention Osaka Grandma but have never mentioned Osaka Grandpa. Did he die long ago or what?

hey CheapyDizzle

i was wondering how long do you think it will be till

A) xbox 360 players can play online against ps3 players

B) xbox 360, ps3, and pc, players will all three play against each other

C) Wombat starts winning at video games

Thanks!

Whats up Cheapy and wombat!
I was just wondering your thoughts on video game magazines! More specifically the "#1 Video Game Magazines" after all, theres GameInformer The #1 video game magazine, EGM the #1 Video Game Magazine, GFW #1 PC gaming magazines, and blah blah blah the list goes on! So what are your thoughts on magazines and such. Is it better to just read the reviews on the magazines site for free? Thanks C U LATER!

Yes, when will we get the results from the CAG awards?

Cheapy,

I know you have played the Sim Exchange for awhile now. Have either you or Wombat ever considered buying real stock in a video game company. I've been considering buying some for awhile now. Out of all the markets, I think video games might be an easy one to read. I mean, you know Konami's is going to go up when Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out.

Cheapy, Wombat are things really good between you guys? I've noticed that you two are taking shots at each other, kinda being mean to one another.
I just want to make sure we're going to have a two man show later on?


Are there any 2d games that you feel should get the "Bionic Commando: Rearmed" treatment?

This questions has been bouncing around the Interwebs, but I wanted to know what your zombie escape plan would be. It seems that New York and Japan are more known for monster attacks, but if a massive zombie rampage hit close to home, what would you do?

In the same vein, what is your favorite zombie-related video game?

Thanks!

Greetings CheapyD and Wombat
I'm a relatively new listener to the CAGcast (since around #102), and I'm curious: what were the reasons for you moving to Japan? Was it a "wife-want so wife-get" kind of thing, or was it for her job? As we all know it wasn't for your career, though your job is pretty bad ass.
