I listened to the show on the way to work today, definitely an interesting way to pass the time. I shall have to grab the others, given that I unfortunately tend to go to work a lot… Also, a quick comment about GameTap: I have a friend who had it for a while, and from listening to him it seemed a little buggy at times (games hanging etc.) but that could have been related to his connection. The nice thing is that you know exactly what you’re signing up for because their game list is right on their website. If I recall they had some good older games.
