Plenty to talk about, as the guys discuss Cities Skylines 2, The Elder Scrolls 6, Phil Spencer’s old emails, the Steam Deck 2 and The Division 3. However, the main focus of discussion lies in the Nintendo Direct, PlayStation State of Play and Xbox Tokyo Game Show conference and what to expect in the future.
The news otherwise features:
Let us know what you think.
The undeniable rumor, as expected, has come to be true and Microsoft’s Major Nelson has revealed September 5th as the day the Xbox 360 shall drop in price. Although not surprising, this is really the first good price drop for the 360 hardware which does not involve phasing out an old product line.
The price breakdown is as follows:
This is a US price cut, Japan had their price cut last week. We’re not sure about how the rest of the 360 regions will shake out, but they’ll probably end up with a price line much like the one above.
Anyone surprised? Anyone going to run out and buy a 360?

The landmark episode was recorded two weeks ago, but the audio was absolutely terrible, with over a half-an-hour having to be excised. It’s a pity, because it featured both Videogame Roundtable originals Paul Nowak and Jordan Lund guest-hosting for a massive (for this podcast) five-man crew.
To make up for it, Jonah and T.J. recorded a half-hour discussion of upcoming games that they might check out at E3.
There won’t be a podcast for another 3 weeks, until E3 is over, so for now. Enjoy the podcast, and sorry for the middle hour — the audio cleans up in the last part.
Jonah survived the cold snap, and everything is okay – we think. There’s not much to this podcast except for the extensive discussions on completely unrelated topics.
The news this week includes:
Question of the Week: “What is your favorite FPS?”
