  • Has become an extended advertisement

    Used to be good and would cover a fair amount tech related news across the spectrum.

    However in recent months the podcast has become an extended advert for Stardock and concentrates on Xbox related news, both of which are limited in appeal.

The host estimates that the next gen console could be priced around $700, reflecting on Microsoft's strategy and the evolving gaming hardware market.
Where is Xbox Going?
Q: Is gaming sort of lost its magic, or are we just in a boring phase wanting something truly big?
The host responds by noting that gaming feels different as one gets older and anticipates that major releases like Grand Theft Auto VI could reignite interest.
The Tension is Rising
Q: With the rumors that the PS6 might be a handheld console, are console wars officially over?
