Summary
- Talk about what we've been playing, mainly Gears of War and Wii since CJ got some extended playtime with Zelda and Excite Truck this weekend.
- Talk about PlayStation 3 launch games being delayed/canceled in the last week and what that could mean for the system's short-term future.
- After a quick musical interlude we discuss Nolan Bushnell's comments that Sony could fail with PS3. Could one of the industry's founders have something there?
- SPECIAL GUEST: This week we have a special interview with John Lee, Director of Marketing for Hudson Entertainment where we talk about the company's plans on Wii's Virtual Console and even get a tidbit in there about Xbox Live Arcade support. Visit www.hudsonent.com to get a glimpse of their offerings.
- Finally, we close this week's 'cast by talking about Microsoft's new initiative to sell video content (TV shows and movies) via Xbox Live Marketplace. Are any of us really gonna use this service regularly?
Leave us your feedback, give us a review on iTunes, whatever you like. We may even read some of the feedback on a future show.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode three of the Player One podcast for November 13th, 2006. I'm your co-host, Greg Seward, along with your other co-host, the only man I've ever met |
| 0:25.3 | who bought the horizontal stand for the PlayStation 2, Chris Johnston. |
| 0:29.5 | Yeah, I did buy that thing, and I used it. |
| 0:32.8 | I know, you had it set up. |
| 0:34.1 | But mainly to differentiate between my U.S. PlayStation 2 and my Japanese PlayStation 2. Otherwise, how would you've been able to tell? I know, they're identical. You can't. Exactly. Except for the hard drive bay, of course. But you'd have to look at the back of the system for that. Bad design on Sony's part. Yeah. So anyway, we'll launch this week, the way we always do with their incredibly original What You've been playing? So, CJ, what you've been playing? |
| 0:56.0 | Well, this week, of course, Gears of War came out, and since I had pre-bought it last weekend, |

| 1:07.7 | I've only gotten past the first act, but I've been playing multiplayer. |
| 1:13.3 | I think you need to look up the definition of extensively. |

| 1:27.5 | It's because this week I was able to get my hands on the Wii. |

| 1:32.9 | So Gears of War kind of went out the window very quickly as the Wii playtime ensued. |
| 1:40.9 | So, and I want to point out here that I i was talking to you online when um you were able to |
| 1:48.0 | get your hands on the we which sounds so dirty um and you were trying to act all hardcore |
| 1:54.7 | because she's like oh man they didn't come with the component cable so i don't even know if i'll play |
| 1:59.2 | it i'm like bullshit i'm not going to hook it i call bullshit on this component that's so I don't even know if I'll play it. I'm like bullshit. I'm not going to hook it on this. |
| 2:02.6 | That's true. |
| 2:03.6 | But you know, even with the composite cables, it didn't look so bad. |
