I agree on many points with what the rasta guy had to say. For example it would be logical for Sony to hold back on a price drop for the ps3 with some other impending big announcements. They could potentially blow any chances of sales until the price drop anyway.

I do not agree with many of the points really on download content, exclusive or otherwise. I am not a fan of it. Too many times I have come to the point that I complete a game and I am saying to myself 'Bastards.... wheres the rest of my game, no fucking way, cunts...' ect ect Fallout 3 and Fable 2 are prime examples. I wish the gaming community as a whole would stop supporting it.

Dont get me wrong though, I know there are positive benefits to it but when I buy a game I want that game in it's entirety. If they then spend the next year developing extra content then sell it thats fine, because it is new concept for an existing idea that was not held back just for the sake of making a few extra bucks.

You may not all agree with me but I honestly believe some reform is needed in the way downloadable content is handled.

When's the next episode? I want to hear about Nintendo

[Angrist]

Yeah I'm really interested in what they have to say about Nintendo.
Thanks for the link.

Co-p E3 Preview Show
Kind of a cool format.

Again, no Nintendo.

I understand that Ninty hasn't revealed anything yet, but some speculation would be interesting.

I think the problem with Nintendo is trying to predict where the hell they are coming from.

I'm almost certain that no one expected most of last year's conference to focus on a new Wii Sports and Wii Music and the year before was Wii Fit.

So people can speculate there would be a new Zelda or new Mario or new Metroid, and then Nintendo comes out with a new technology for the Wii.

Nintendo segment is up.
Decent listen.

An initial thought, I thought the chubby white guy was off the mark when he suggested 2d Zelda or Metroid for the Wii, that's what the DS is for is it not?

Thanks for that BaB. I will comment more later, I already missed my bus watching that, I am gonna be late for my maths studies. But hey, Nintendo is more important than pythagarus

[Angrist]

Pythagoras, right?
