The mayor of Las Vegas didn't want Rainbow Six: Vegas to come out for moral reasons - but was that really the reason? Our 360 came back and we got Viva Pinata...Is it engaging? Sony does something RIGHT with their pricing of downloadable content - and then fixes their error. Could Abandonware now be LEGAL according to the US Copyright Office? (We need someone with law knowledge to email us!) Nintendo is being sued by a company who claims to have patented the Wii Remote, and Nintendo might be sued by idiot gamers since they are admitting there may be a problem with the wrist straps. We like the Classic Controller, but we'd like to know if we're the only ones not getting a 16:9 signal in some Virtual Console games. The November sales numbers are in, and you'd be surprised at who came out on top. The 2007 Independent Games Festival finalists have been announced, and we begin our coverage of the event. Plus, for our European listeners, we discuss whether Component or RGB SCART is the way to go with the Wii. We also take calls about the Virtual Console and about patching issues with the Xbox 360 and Call of Duty 3 in particular.

We went a little over our usual time because we just weren't done talking yet. The Xbox 360 has finally been shipped out, but Microsoft is pretty slow in fixing them. Was it really their fault in the first place, or is it faulty wiring? An email asks us to reveal the answers to the trivia questionaire from VGXPO. We talk a little about what the PS3 can and can't do in terms of scaling and playback, and then mention how we can't get 5.1 audio from certain PS3 titles that claim to have them. There's a shakeup at Sony, and the new boss takes Gran Turismo HD off the market and turns it into a free downloadable concept demo...for Japan. Halo 3 madness reaches ESPN on Monday night along with signups for an "open public beta" (not really) galavanting around because they're Pimps at Sea. Reggie Fils-Amie talks Wii with MTV, and some interesting tidbits come out. Do Wii Have A Problem? We think some do - they can't keep a hold of their Wii's! And hey, the Dreamcast is STILL going with a new shooter coming out in Japan. Then we take a caller from a blind gamer discussing his gaming, and then another caller discusses EA killing the Dreamcast. We end the show with a call for information on missing CNET Senior Editor and former TechTV personality James Kim who has disappeared in Pacific Northwest during Thanksgiving with his family.

Did we get our PS3 back from Sony's repair center? And if so, what do we think of it? Were people agreeing or disagreeing with our controversial "Zelda Is Too Brown" comments from last week? You may be surprised! We also divulge what Nintendo's repair policy is and compare it with Sony's and Microsoft's, and we talk about what a workout some people get by playing with their Wii. The Xbox 360 Video Marketplace came out, and we want High Definition Battlestar Galactica, dammit! But fix the connection issues first. Sony says they shipped as many PS3's as possible, but it's still lower than expected. We then have callers call in about eBayers, advertising in games, and Small Arms on Xbox Live Arcade.

History repeats itself as our PS3 launch system is as dead as our PS2 launch system was on October 26, 2000. But we did get the Burger King games - are they worth the $3.99 for those who aren't in the new generation? Then we turn to the Wii, which yes, did work. We discuss if we're happy or disappointed - it's a mixed bag. Some things said may anger Nintendo fanboys! Then we take calls about the Wii and the PS3, and comparing HD-DVD and Blu-Ray movies.

Happy Emergence Day! Unfortunately, Gears of War broke our Xbox 360...Again! But that's okay, because Guitar Hero II actually works with our HDTV - even if it won't work with a PS3. Microsoft is adding TV and movies to the Xbox Live Marketplace - what's the catch? And how well does the HD-DVD player work anyway? We relate our PS2 launch story and how the last launch wasn't as rosy as people remember, and then talk about how the Japanese PS3 launch wasn't as rosy as Sony makes it out to be. Who REALLY camped out in line? The ESRB has released ratings for some old games that we expect to find on the Wii virtual console, and we talk about how small the Wii really is. Next week, we hope to be broadcasting from a Wii midnight launch north of Atlanta - stay tuned to Allgames.com for details!
