You named Gametap 'best in show' at E3 do you play on Gametap much still? Do you think the xbox 360 live (arcade) will negatively effect the growth of Gametap?

How much ass could a cheap ass kick if a cheap ass could kick ass?

Besides The Icon JimmieMac, are you guys ever going to have other guests on the show?

Cheapy: Besides the stuff we see on the internet about the Japanese gaming scene, what other differences have you noticed so far? maybe in prices, types of games, company prescence etc.

Cheapy: How much of the forums do you keep up with? Do you read a lot of OTT stuff or mainly focus on the deals threads? Also, are there any users (without naming names) that you personally can't stand on the site and cringe every time you see one of their posts?

It seems like it has been forever that people on message boards have been predicting that Nintendo will go 3rd party ala Sega since the Gamecube finished in 3rd place in the minds of many. Do you think this prediction is sound or a bunch of BS?

Cheapy: can you ask wombat to stop making so many lame jokes?

2 Questions:

In this past cagcast you mentioned the PSP load times which I can't stand either. Do you guys ever feel as if gaming hardware design is going backwards? Being a gamer since the days of the 2600 there's just something to be said about turning the power on and playing. I just find it really odd that the xbox hard drive which was a good way to reduce loading times is now an option with the 360.

You also mentioned Gametap and XBOX Live Arcade which you thought were good ideas. Do you think the downloadable old-school Nintendo games will help the Revolution? I like the idea of having 20 years of games under the hood of one system. It's obvious with all of the collections and services like gametap there is definitely a market for old-school gaming goodness. I sort of agree with Wombat though about paying for it...I think I would rather pay say $5 to a download a game (ex: gauntlet on the xbox 360) once rather than $15 a month for the rest of my life to play what I want to. Especially since I could probably pick up an old system and a game on the cheap.

Just as a gut feeling, what are looking forward to more: Killzone 2 or Halo 3?

Around four months ago there was a Best Buy clearance sale. I ran into a fellow CAG. He was picking up multiple copies of games that were cheap as "trade-in fodder towards a 360." I knew I couldn't do anything about it so I said nothing, but I was hoping you could call for all CAGs to use the site responsible and not gobble up all the deals like a greedy pig, no matter how cheap the game is.

Have you ever considered holding a Cheap Ass Gamer convention?

How does an american who speaks little Japanese manage living in Japan? (not counting Mrs. Cheapy)

who would win in a fight Cheapy or Wombat?

Which game or games do each of you consider to be the greatest of all time?

1) Do you think the next-gen versions of the Platinum Hits/Greatest Hits/Player's Choice titles will remain at the $19.99 price point? Why or why not?

2) Which video game website (IGN, Gamestop, 1up.com, etc.) do you visit the most for gaming news and reviews? Which do you think is the most reliable and why?

3) What did you ask for for Christmas?

Have you watched any Japanese television? What is your favorite show?

What blogs and podcasts do you read or listen to?

What do you guys think of those end-of-the-year Best Of lists? Don't you think they're stupid, considering the winners are always so obvious?

What's it gonna take to get new CAG t-shirts? I'm sure a design contest here would stir up some threads and instigate a slew of threadless wannabe's. How bout it?

Just two quick questions:

1 - Given that nintendo and sony both have kind of given the specs for both their consoles and already shown the designs. Do you think that the nintendo revolution could actually maybe pull through this next gen console war ahead of microsoft or maybe even sony especially with the announcement that the nintendo revolution would be affordable comapred to the 360 and ps3?

2 - I don't know if its just me but it seems like ebgames and gamestop are putting out worse and worse trade in deals. The best deal ebgames ever had was the trade in 5 games and get $5 extra dollars. Do you think in the furute they would have any good trade in deals or are we basically looking towards trade in 2 xbox 360, ps3, or revolution games and get one next gen game free.

why wont my car start when it gets cold : )
