I'm not liking DLC. I like to collect games and if everything becomes downloadable then what can I collect?

Anoter good podcast. Some of the WT info was a bit shakey tho i think :P. But i've never used more than one user account on one system. Each user has its own game saves etc so of course you have tomake a new band.. its just to get the game going.
But the 'band' presence in WT is really small, you hardley remember about your band when your playing other than the sings in the crowd etc

That's exactly my point - they put so much emphasis on creating a band, and then it all falls apart when you go into the band career mode. I'd prefer if they didn't have bands, and you just create a rocker, with no mention about being in a band, because it just doesn't feel like you are anyway.

This one was long, you guys. You should have called it the Super Bonus Podcast of 98. Everything should always be of 98.

How drunk WAS Shaun? I am going to have to relisten to that bit where he was reading that article. It was like English was his second language.

I wasn't all that drunk - but I swear the article I was reading didn't actually make any sense. It's amazing that I somehow pieced together what it was saying.

I'm starting to think it's impossible for you guys to go a podcast without mentioning Singstar. You should rename it the NZGamer Singstar Podcast.

I'm not sure if I should be a little concerned that people are listening to us talk, while in bed.

Man, how can you honestly say the 360 has more exclusives at the moment. In the immortal words of John McEnroe “YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS!” Thanks god Lucy’s there to voice her opinion.

PS3 - Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, Socom, Wipeout, Quest for booty, NBA09, Buzz etc... + Killzone 2 early next year.

360 - Fable 2, Gears2...and..er..does left 4 dead count? (on pc also).

Most of the 360 stuff is all multiformat,

I think it’s pretty obvious from listening to your comments that you don’t keep up with PS3 news very closely. Little Big Planet is one of the very few genuinely fresh & exciting games of the year and I doubt it would work nearly as well on a Microsoft or Nintendo platform. Lets not forget PS3 is wisper quiet and is very well made unlike a certain "red ring of death". Sony has the largest group of in-house software development teams in the world.

Uh, have you listened to any of the other episodes, we've been all over LittleBigPlanet.

You're right about a lot of the Xbox 360 stuff being multi-format, no doubt many of these were PS3 exclusives once upon a time - GTA4 and FF13 come to mind.

There are plenty of games that are exclusive to either platform, along with the Wii - it comes down to personal preference in which games you want to play. At the moment the only real complaints I've had about the PS3 lately is the price.

Can I make a suggestion?

You should have a community section in your podcast. It doesn't have to be long. You guys just comment or talk about things that have been going on around the community. Maybe a blog that you guys really liked or a popular thread etc.
