Great to see that you met the VGM Daily guys. They even gave me a thank you on their show as somehow I triggered the meeting with you and them at the show. They are really great and funny to listen too even though Ryan was defending Blu-Ray and PS3. I am with you and like HD-DVD more.

Love your show as it gives us an inside perspective which is unique.

Xbox.com doesn't work when viewed on a linux platform, not sure if Microsoft really about that.

Well well well, what do we have here.

http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/19/microsoft-announces-100gb-360-hdd-at-x06-korea/

"Microsoft just announced a 100GB hard drive for the Xbox 360 at their little X06 shindig in Korea, and the drive should be making its way to shelves -- at least in Korea -- by March of '07."

So are there any plans for a 100GB hard drive in Europe?

that is definitely great news about the blue dragon pre-orders in japan. I wonder how lost odyssey will do too. Looks like MS needs to keep the bundles coming in japan with the jrpgs!!

Intangible 360: Why did you apologize for the "Mission Accomplished" analogy? I was the person who made the joke (unless you did it in a previous thread). Either way, I'm glad all of you saw it as a joke (including Major). If you didn't, I apologize. In any case, I bet with the Sony service being free, there will be no call for whining when the service goes down. It's not like anyone will be paying a premium for a service that is down.

Hey, Major, what do you think about this:

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=147838

"Thursday 19-Oct-2006 10:17 AM Blue Dragon 360 bundles sell out after first day of pre-orders

Ladies and gentlemen, you might want to sit down; the Xbox 360 has sold out In Japan. Well, the special-edition Blue Dragon bundles have, anyway.

Pre-orders began yesterday for the SE bundle, of which there are 10,000 units, and it miraculously managed to sell out in Japan almost immediately, with the additional 90,000 'standard' bundles reportedly selling fast.

According to 1up.com, one major online retailer managed to sell out of their SE allotment in five minutes, with others managing to last most of the day.

The special-edition bundle contains an Xbox 360 core system with Blue Dragon, along with an original table calendar, Blue Dragon faceplate illustrated by game artist Akira Toriyama and a set of five miniature character figures. All of this for the bargain price of 29,800 yen (134 JPN).

Considering the huge amount of Toriyama fans in the Far East and severe shortages of the PS3, the pre-order sell out is perhaps not so surprising. Still, it's a much-needed boost for Microsoft in Japan, where most weeks it has been struggling to shift even 1,000 units of its next-gen console.

Is MS about to get the break its been praying for in the world's gaming capital? Watch this space."

Keep pushing for these JRPGs, MS, and maybe you'll get through to the Japanese audience after all. :)

"If I had said 'Mission Accomplished' you all have every right pull your official 'Major Nelson' pitchforks out and hunt me down."

Do Plantronics do those too? ;)

Some of you guys need a reality check. When you grow up a bit and become adults, you'll realise that not everything in work life goes perfectly as planned.
