Cheapy and Wombat,
Would you compare and contrast your opinions in the differences in how certain publishers/developers are putting their DLC packs on sale in retail stores?

With Oblivion and now Fallout 3, Bethesda is going the route of having the content be on a disc, which opens the door for massive amounts of people renting or borrowing a copy just to install the content.

In comparision, Tomb Raider Underworld, GTA IV, Patapon 2, and soon-to-be Gears 2 retail DLC packs are just codes that you have to enter online/on the system to redeem with no possibility of sharing with other people (well except for Patapon 2 if it falls in the regular gamesharing rules of stuff on the PSN Store.)

See this? Hook. It. Up!

(This is just the site bookmarked on my phone).

But I know like many other CAGs i'd love to see a CAG app available to download. I have no idea how hard/long an iPhone/iPod app would take to make but it'll be worth it. It could have some features from the site now like game tracking, price comparsions etc or even like a miniature of the search bar.

It'll be SO useful: say your in a store and find Battlefield Bad Company for £15 (or $15) but you're not sure if its cheaper else where. Whip out your iPhone/touch and you can check instantly then from there make your purchase decision. Slap it on the app store for 99$ (or whatever you want, however I know you've mentioned in the past about not needing the extra money by "exploiting" the site.) and you get a tonne of downloads.

Just an idea.

Thanks love and show and keep up the good work!

I just remembered on episode 150 you said that you and ship should play 1 on 1 in basketball, make it happen!

Hey Cheapy and Wombat,

I was wondering if you guys have any gaming clothes, and if you do, wear them in public. There is a very interesting dividing line between gamers who like to show they're gamers, and gamers would be embarrassed to be classified as one in public.

Cheapy,
Will you buy the second Saints Row 2 DLC pack since it's priced at $7 instead of $10?

Cheapy and Wombat,

Now that your kids are growing older, have you had any experiences and/or worried about experiences involving the kids "being kids" and screwing up your games? What I mean by that is tripping over wires, unplugging systems during game time, breaking discs, controllers, etc. What will you do if this happens?

Hey Cheapy and Wombat, i just wanted to show you guys a video my friend sent me, i think its funny and i hope you guys do too. (especially cheapy!!!)

I assume you guys heard about the Joystiquitter thing with velvet assassin?

Which leads me to ask, what's the longest amt of time you'll stick with a game before giving up and knowing it's not good/not right for you?

I recently gave up on JRPGs in general after spending 8+ hours with Persona 3 and hoping in the back of my head that it would improve but ultimately knowing the experience wouldn't change w/more time invested.

This is more a question for Wombat because Cheapy doesnt listen to podcasts,

Since I have started listening to so many game podcasts I find i Dont really read formal reviews anymore. Mainly because i hear many various opinions and live arguments, with out the bullshit of scores and more talk about the game itself. Is this true for you also? Thanks love the show keep up the good work

This question is mostly for Cheapy because I don't think it applies to Wombat.

I just picked up Lips on clearance for $35 (thanks CAG!). I've never really done much Karaoke before, but my wife and I are enjoying it.

Anyway, what are some of your favorite songs to sing in the game, either on disc or DLC? Since you're the only person I know who has the game, I might shoot a challenge your way.

Hello Mr. D and Mr. Wombat my question to you gentlemen is do you believe that the new PSP's lack of a umd drive will affect its price?(i.e.= cheaper?) Also, Cheapy what is up with your Twitter doppelganger and what do make of him getting threats?

Cheapy, here's an easy question. I was listening to an older show and you commented how some people don't like the CAGS on news theme. What is wrong with them?! The song is awesome! Who re-mixed the original Girils on Film for you guys? Did you do it and provide the voiceovers (although the voiceover sounds like Ship) Or did a CAG create the theme?

Hey Cheapy and Wombat
You may or may not know that Sims 3 recently got leaked onto the Internet. What would make of a person who downloaded it now in advance knowing that they were going to purchase the game on its release. I understand that most people are not going to do this but what about those that do?

Keep up the podcast its easily the best out there.

Who much if any, do you pay Super Programmer john for his Programming expertise?

Hi Cheapy and Wombat,

As a dude who recently lost his job, the iPhone section is quickly becoming my favorite part of the show. I'm trying to save money but sometimes I just get the urge to buy something new (I'm such a consumer). iPhone games are perfect for me. I get a new game that satisfies my spending urge and I only spend a couple of bucks ( you Suze Orman!)

Here are a couple of my new favorites:

Uniwar- Bought it on sale for like $1.99. Like Advance Wars and Military Madness. I love turn based strategy so it's perfect. It has an online mode too!

SuicideGirls Flip Strip- FREE! Like one of those old novelty pens. Flip the iPhone upside-down and the hot tattooed girl is in her bra and panties.

Runkeeper Free- FREE! I started walking to try and lose my fat gut. This uses the GPS to track how far you go and at what pace. It's ad supported but it doesn't hinder the app at all.

After watching the GameTrailers review of Terminator: Salvation, they say the game takes less than 4 hours to complete, yet it's still being sold at $60. In this day and age, if a game is going to price itself at $60, do you think there should be a minimum amount of gameplay time so consumers feel like they get their money's worth?

After watching yesterdays Microsoft press conference I was a bit miffed off with the current state of additional/downloadable content. The 2 map packs for Modern Warfare 2 is great and all, but announcing DLC 6 months before the game is even out? That doesn’t sit well with me at all and feels like the content is just being held back from the retail disk. I bet the first pack will be out within a month of the game shipping.

Also with the Halo ODST disc now sitting at full price because it contains map packs for Halo 3, what about the early adopters that bought them when they were released? They are now in the same position as the people who bought the Gears 2 content only to find out it will be released at retail with additional content to try and get more money out of them by selling them content they may already own. I think the whole thing stinks and I am rapidly going off DLC content

Wombat, has Nintendo done enough this E3 to win you back?

Way to go cheapy i really think you just go to e3 to smoke weed and buy cloths you could care less about the game thats why you take shipwrek with you to do the dirty work thw reson wombat doesnt go is cause he knows he would have to do all the work while you sit on yor lazy ass smokes weed and jerks of to tila tiquila

Cheapy,

I was listening to an old podcast of your's, as I'm wont to do, when the original story of pizza guy and his naked jaunt came up. You mentioned a few cagcast's ago that you had an update to the story. Did I miss it? Did you have another fireworks party this year?
