Beyond, beyond. My name is Karl Mori already. I'm senior editor of IGN and this is podcast beyond episode. What episode is it?

I already forgot 309. It's 309 and I think we fucked up the episode numbers last week

I didn't because I wasn't here. It was all us. Yeah the other person you hear speaking is Andrew Goldfarb the news editor of IGN

It's me and Andrew so Ryan comments and I remember Ryan comments right he he used to work at IGN

He works at a PlayStation now for the the Sony PlayStation blog blog that U.S. that playstation.com

And we used to do a thing when Greg wasn't in the office called fireside chats

Which of course is something FDR used to do as well for things much more serious in video games and I figured since Greg is gone this week

And we don't know what to do without him that we would do another fireside chat and you would take

Commence is noble in a austere place in podcast beyond history as the co-host of podcast beyond fireside chats five

So I'm pretty excited about it. I think these episodes are kind of fun and they're different because it's a little more

Pensive Greg isn't loud because he's not here. He's being loud somewhere else right now

If you try calling him in but I don't think we're no, no, it's not call him in so I put on on Twitter a call for questions

We're not gonna use any questions from the mailbag this week

But of course you can generally send your questions to be on IGN.com

And Goldfarb let's start with some of the big news that happened this week and we'll just jump right into it

And then we'll get into the questions. Sure. Is that all right? Yeah, we're not gonna even do a real Roper report

No, no, no, no, I didn't want to because I didn't have time to write it

But we know what everything that happened this week a lot of exciting things happen this week starting with the announcement of a new model of PlayStation

Vita so tell us a little bit about that if you can what I like is that it's the moment I forget the letters

But it's whatever something CH

2000 and I like that they're adopting kind of the PS3 it feels good

It feels like nostalgia to think back to when there used to be new PSP models ever so often and you know the 1000 to 2000 to 3000 to 3000
