Summary
This week we talk all about the system launches, PlayStation 3 and Wii. Ex-GameNOW and GameSpy editor Phil Theobald joins Chris & Greg for the discussion, where we discuss the lines, the shortages, getting the systems home, the games, and more. So much more that this is a much longer show that normal.
Also interspersed within the show are various interviews CJ did with people who lined up in Houston for the systems, both PS3 and Wii. You probably won't be all that shocked to hear that most of the folks waiting for PS3 had just one thing in mind: making money on eBay. The Nintendo crowd was a much more gamer-centric bunch.
We also say goodbye to the awesome folks at the Official US PlayStation Magazine, whose January 2007 issue will be their last. We will miss you guys, thanks for making a great magazine. Be sure to download their last podcast if you haven't already.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode four of the Player One podcast for Monday, November 20th, 2006. I'm your host, Chris Johnston, |
| 0:23.8 | and with me is the man who gave Crono Cross a 9.5 and survived Greg Seward. |
| 0:31.1 | It was a very narrow survival, and it wasn't just me. My entire family was threatened |
| 0:36.4 | at various points. |
| 0:39.1 | Yes, and this week we also have a special guest with us. |
| 0:42.4 | He's X-Game Now and GameSpy editor Phil Theobald, also known as the Wolf Blitzer of Gaming. |
| 0:48.7 | Hey, Phil. |
| 0:49.4 | Well, how's it going? |
| 0:51.5 | I don't like to brag, but I was on CNN. |
| 0:55.3 | Yes. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And today we're going to talk about, obviously, the launches of PlayStation 3 and the Wii system. But first, of course, we're going to start with the segment we always do every week, the one we've stolen from many a podcast, the |
| 1:12.3 | What You've Been Playing segment. So let's start with our special guest, Phil, What's |
| 1:16.1 | You Been Playing? Oh my goodness, let's see. Well, barring any of the new things, which I'm |
| 1:22.0 | sure we'll be talking about rather extensively for the rest of this Magic podcast. I've been playing a lot of the elite beat agents on the Nintendo DS. |
| 1:32.3 | Ah, fantastic. Yes. Have you? How far have you gotten in that one? I've learned that I really suck at the normal mode. I just finished... I don't want to do a spoiler, but the best level in the game, which is about halfway through, I've just finished that on normal mode, and that's kind of where I'm sitting. |
| 1:49.6 | Best level in the game doesn't really tell me much. I think I'm somewhere after Material Girl. I don't know exactly in the single player game. I don't know if I've unlocked one of the bonus songs, so... |
| 2:01.1 | I have yet to see any... |
| 2:02.6 | I think I did unlock Jamirikwai, but I haven't... |
| 2:06.6 | I unlocked canned heat, but I've not finished that one. |
| 2:11.6 | See, you're ahead of me, that... |
| 2:12.6 | Yeah. |
| 2:13.6 | But great game. |
| 2:14.6 | And I've... I've unlocked to the elite beat divas so far. |
