China's government regulates XP points? so that after 3 hours you only level up half as much, and after 5 hours you cant level up at all, so that you have to stop playing? Is that what's going on?

Hurray for a higher Dungeon Siege 2 rating!

Nice podcast..its really long and that's the way I like them.

Anyway...I don't think I'll be getting the $2000 bundle...I'll just buy a the $399 360 and 3 games. Heh...

ONE HUNDRED MINUTES!

Yay.

Xbox 360 Core (crappy).

BTW, thanks for answering my question...

Yes, 100 minutes! I've been waiting for your podcast for a while. I can't wait to start listening.....here I go...

Nice Podcast Steve. ^_^

Actually, I think that Alpha Dream made Mario and Luigi: SuperStar Saga. I'm pretty sure that Intelligent Systems made Paper Mario.

Watch, this is the final straw for the Chinese people.

Limit our freedom of speech? Well...
Restrict our Internet access to dissenting websites? I guess that sucks...
Kill protesters? That really is too bad.

Limit our MMORPG access? WTF?!?! This calls for war! Viva la revolution!

I don't mean this to be a shot to the Chinese. It is human nature.

What was the cause of American Revolution? Was it the illogical and inefficient monarchal system? Was it state church? Was it the class based society? No. It was the taxes.

Again, there is nothing negative about this. It is just human nature.

Nice Podcast Steve. I really liked the longer news section and your DS reviews!

Oh, and by the way, have you gotten my email yet? I sent it to you a while ago, I just wanted to make sure you got it.

Thanks for a great show again! :)

Can anyone please name the game that Gaming Steve said was better than Zelda. I am trying to look it up but I must be spelling it wrong or something.

Thanks,
David

Hey David,
it's "Neutopia".

Alex

Thanks Alex.

And also I want to say that I enjoy every one of Gaming Steve's Podcasts but I think he was a little off the mark with the whole XBox360 is so expensive story.

Look at the value of a dollar compared to when other past consoles came out and you will come to find out that it really isn't that bad.

And even for the PS2. When I bought that ($300) I had to buy a memory card ($40) and a multi tap ($40). That came out to $380 before buying a game. I know that not everyone had to buy a multitap but I needed one.

I don't think people will mind the price that much but they will mind the confusing s different types of systems.

Only just got round to listening to it great podcast Steve.

"or better yet here's a book" loved that comment.

I just started hearing your podcast and I would like you to know that I'm enjoy listening to what you have to say. The rant about the XBox360 is completely understandable and I agree with your thinking of having a price tag of $399.00 for the "real Xbox360" system is really out there let alone the $299.00 for their "core system." Not only is it ridiculous for having to notch on an extra $100.00 for a measly 20 gig harddrive for the "main" system but Microsoft doesn't guarantee that the Xbox 360 will be completely backwards compatible with their exisiting library. Here is the link that states their lack of complete backwards compatiblity with all Xbox games: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=8996. The price of $399 for a real system and lack of complete backwards compatibility puts me off from purchasing the system.
