  1. Hey guys, (Don’t I always put that?) My opinion on the question,”Have collectible games gone too far?” Is, no, they haven’t gone too far because with almost any CD, book, or movie you see today has a collectible version. And I think that they should keep making collectible versions of them because it shows either who can afford it, or who is loyal enough to the francise to give extra money for a product with more features/content.
    P.S. – I love your show! You should make a video podcast sometime.
    P.P.S. – Sorry to bug you, but I was just wondering, what is y’alls Xbox Live Gamertags (If you have 1) so I can send you guys a friend request and maybe play some games some time.
    Thanks!
