Gaming Podcast 178: Microsoft, Kinect and MoreGaming Podcast 178: Microsoft, Kinect and More

This week’s gaming podcast covers a bit of the Microsoft Press E3 news, a tiny portion of our own opinions on Kinect and a slight bit of a gaming flashback on Beat ’em and Eat ’em, an Atari 2600 “game.” A game by any other name would have to be a porn… and that’s as close as we get to one. This weeks news includes:

DreamCast games coming to PSN and Xbox Live
Sony trying to bribe people to buy a PSP Go
Activision‘s Indie Game Competition is Sneaky
Microsoft partnering with Disney and Star Wars
Microsoft releasing an Xbox 360 Slim
Next Assassin’s Creed due out in November
E3 Microsoft Media Conference

Question of the week: Does Kinect sound more desirable with all the new information and rumored pricing make you consider the purchase?

Xbox One gets November 22 launch date
Each Xbox One to be sold at a profit
PS4 only supports 4 controllers
PS4 and Xbox One won’t support external hard drives for now
Sony refunds Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn PSN purchases

This week’s Question of the Week asks if you’ve ever gotten a new version of the console you already owned.
