XBS Podcast 6Hey listeners, in this episode of the XBS Podcast gamers Rich Reed, Jason Rybka, and Jim Kennedy talk about all the games coming out this holiday season, and various ways you can save money, among other tactics, to be able to actually afford the games when they hit the shelves. Ermm, there’s just one thing, we don’t really take our own advice seriously, so chances are we’ll be broke just like every other holiday! In addition, here are some of the other topics of interest on the show…

  • Skate demo, yep, again… cause I finally played it
  • Blacksite: Area 51 demo, download it, Jim did during the podcast
  • Beautiful Katamari; remember folks, don’t do Katamari, its a gateway drug
  • Tiger Woods 08, its alright, definitely better, but still too damn easy, or at least I think so
  • Call of Duty 4 Beta - we’ve been playing it, Amutt’s been playing it, and we’re gonna keep playing it, cause it rocks, and as of right now, its free

  • Halo 3 special controller and headset, those money hungry bastards keep coming out with sh*t we want, damnit

Special thanks go out to Mike’s Hard Lemonade, Coors Lite, Corona, and whatever Jim was drinking… without them none of this could have been possible.
