If you’re wondering where episode 652 is, the file was completely distorted, with only one half of a conversation going. So, all the discussion about Sony’s State of Play is lost to the ether.

Here are the original podcast notes:

- DDoS service targeting PSN and Xbox powered by home Internet routers
- Japanese console sales continued to slide in 2014
- Evolve’s questionable bargain: pre-purchase to avoid the unlock grind
- Sony delays PS4 in China
The Question of the Week: “What is your favorite, if any, LEGO videogames?”

This week’s edition is a little different, in that there’s no set format, just a roundtable discussion of the past week’s events. TJ raves about Owl Boy, Jonah talks about N7 Day and the new Mass Effect: Andromeda revelations, and everyone on the podcast discusses how games have really been a disappointment this year and not much is coming. Oh, and a $99 3DS coming for Black Friday.
Let us know what you think.
AC/DC Signs For Rock Band Track PackAC/DC Signs For Rock Band Track Pack
This November console gamers will be able to purchase a new Track Pack for Rock Band and Rock Band 2. While Activision’s Guitar Hero: Aerosmith sells over 1-million copies, MTV and Harmonix look to prove they too can push big numbers on exclusive artist packs.
Unlike Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Rock Band and Rock Band 2 are the core game engine and the track packs extend out the game with a bunch of new songs, in this case, AC/DC. Gamers who opt not to purchase the latest Rock Band 2 game still have access to AC/DC’s new tracks if they go to the store and buy them.
The trick? This is a Wal-Mart (and Sams Club) exclusive deal; you won’t find this track pack at another retailer.
“If you want to be a physical band, you better make an alliance with a strong physical retailer,” Columbia Records chairman Steve Barnett told the Times. “It’s a great way to sell the new album, the catalog, the game, merchandise and DVDs.”(gamespot)
This Track Pack contains 99 minutes of songs, the tracks include:
- “Thunderstruck” “Shoot to Thrill”
- “Back in Black “Hell Ain’t a Band Place to Be.”
- “Heatseeker”
- “Fire Your Guns”
- “Jailbreak”
- “The Jack” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
- “Moneytalks”
- “Hell’s Bells”
- “Whole Lotta Rosie”
- “You Shook Me All Night Long”
- “T.N.T.”
- “Let There Be Rock”
- “Highway to Hell”
- “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”
Will AC/DC do as well as Aerosmith? I’ve never been a big AC/DC fan, but then again, I didn’t buy into the Aerosmith product either, however, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith doesn’t include drumming…
