Edit: fixed a name
Yay! downloading now!! and its about e3!!! lol
Welcome back Major! Downloading the show now.
Looking forward to your impressions of E3. I know it's been a whirlwind of great news for the PS3 and it's first party titles. While the 360 seems to be focused on Halo 3 and multiplatform games that any system owner can have. Also, thank Epic and the powers that be for selling out Gears of War to the PC side which looks to be a superior game, and one less reason to own an Xbox 360. I think it's been the worst week for the 360 ever with more bad press than good and with nothing announced for 08 and the visually stunning lineup of the PS3 I need some good 360 news!!! Silent Hill (another mulitplaform title) was a start.. but geesh have you seen Drakes Fortune and Killzone 2.. WOW!
Looks like it will be a good show.
Sounds like a great show downloading now :D
Looking good. Time to listen. For a future show, I'd like to see someone from Bizarre Studies on about the new BBR content.
Keep up the good work… Ive been looking forward to this Special E3 Version…
Wow...five interviews! Good work Major! Downloading now...
you rock major thanks for doing the show even though you should be relaxing after a long week!
How do I get the panaramic pictures to work?
Cheers as always Larry, keep up the good work!
Very nice, downloading now, but no e this week? I thought he was a co-host now :?
Looks good ;)
Insomiac on 360 confirmed
I'm officially famous, I made it on Major's show. Even though I don't think he had any idea who I was. That's two events now we've been at together Major, I'm gonna have to introduce myself to you at PAX.
Yeah Major Bioshock has a faceplate and it's very limited edition. So much in fact that there are only 5,100 of them. I have 166/5,100, the faceplates are going for 60+ shipping on ebay.
I liked the 9 parts for the E3 conference on Marketplace since if it was one file, I wouldn't have had enough room to download it without deleting some stuff. With 9 parts, you can download what you can, watch it, delete it, keep downloading the rest.
The only bad thing was that they posted the first 6 parts and didn't post the remainder for a day or so. Otherwise, it's great that MS posted the whole briefing this year.

Photo mentioned in podcast. ;-)
bomberman....yes i will show people how its done. Spooge bombs and kicks all the way
Downloading now. Nice to see that is about an hour and a half. Sounds interesting enough. Maybe some E3 secrets.
Major, it's inhuman to force your mother to do stuff like this. If she's interested in PAX - she'll ask you for the directions. :-P
Oh, I hope PAX will be ultra cool. BTW: do you know what was IMO the most disappointing part of E3? Sony announcing exclusive deal with NC Soft. Why can't we get NC Soft title on 360? :-( ArenaNet is just around the corner - Bellvue Way NE.
The only thing the competition can claim against the 360 is the darned 3 red rings of death. I believe its entirely overblown, but i'm only one happy gamer who has 1.5 years of no problems so who am i to tell.
Perhaps the best way to recover is to be prompt on the recovery. Blog about the 65nm chips, blog about improvements to the heatsinks. Blog about taking care of customers. Upload some PDF's to xbox.com on how to care for your 360 - make it obvious. If you have new systems coming out, post the serial number ranges to look for. Believe me, this will create demand & awareness.
The absolute worst thing that could happen is there still be confusion on support, availability and RELIABILITY this holiday season. Imperative to either buy back in question stock, improve the technology and let us know about it. Can't stress it enough. I'm sick of playing devils advocate if the devil himself won't even face up to the issue and do more than just pronounce a new warranty but make factual statements on what is being done to correct the issue(s)
For the curious:
When Major Nelson goes "I've got a question on the NeoGAF forums. Who put up the picture of me on NeoGAF? Did you see the picture of me and girl from Gamerscoreblog? Did you see that one? Okay I gotta find out who that was. We're gunna talk about that in a second."
It was me.

FPS are my favorite. Thats makes me straight! Woot Woot!
You mentioned that you had a stash of points; you should email me some of those or something. j/k
Anyway good show. Informative on Bomberman. The interviews were quick and to the point...I like that.
hey nelson if the xbox360 is as powerful as the ps3 or more like ms always sed then why the early ps3 games are looking way better and you guys been out for like 2 years
