September sales show that Microsoft’s move to become cheaper than Nintendo’s Wii last month was a much needed one. It wasn’t enough to push it past the Wii, but it did rank 3rd topping all of Sony’s hardware offerings.

Just like his favorite team last night, Juan makes a comeback after being 5-0 this week. Carlos joins in the fun and they talk about the recently delayed LittleBigPlanet (for a whole week! ZOMG!) and they share their thoughts on Yoda/Darth Vader infecting the 360/PS3 via DLC.
Bonus! Red Sox make a huge comeback — and Juan misses it.
Atari just sent word of a cool, little promotion they are working on for their upcoming game, Deer Hunter Tournament, by way of a free “desktop hunter” app.
The game runs in the background on the tab you have in the lower-right corner of your screen. When a friend sends you a deer, you’ll have to “grab gun” and hunt it down.
We’re still waiting for our confirmation email, but it seems like an entertaining pop-up diversion while you read the interblogs or do “homework.” The game proper is out Tuesday, October 21, for PCs (MSRP $19.99).
Download the desktop hunter here.

In this special “un-smoked on” edition we delve into the new Bioshock 2 teaser trailer making the rounds online, Portal’s trek to Xbox Live, and San Andreas will be an Xbox Original soon for those of you who haven’t picked it up.

Jeremy and Carlos dabbled in some Gamestop stories and realized that it was one of THOSE Tuesdays. Yes, the boring ones. Still, they managed to do some rambling about a thing or two in gaming on today’s episode.
Bonus! - Weather Report 2. Now, with more Santa Ana winds!
We reported on Microsoft’s upcoming “New Xbox Experience” (out Nov. 19) a few days ago and now, the company has released some details on how it will facilitate those without a PROPER Xbox 360.
If you own a “Core” or “Arcade” unit, you’ll be given the option to upgrade to a 20GB HDD for $20 at this specially-made web portal. Nice deal, considering Microsoft upsells their hard drives at high prices for “security reasons.” Continue reading »

Today, Carlos and Jeremy wrap up talking about some of the more interesting news coming out of Blizzcon and TGS. Bayonetta talk ensues and will Marvel vs. Capcom 2 make its way to XBLA and PSN soon?
Bonus! - Stick around after the end credits to hear a special weather report between the duo.
P.S. By “announced” in MvC2 news, Carlos means “uncovered at the ESRB’s website.”

“All these resources are going to this?” we wonder today as Konami announces that there will be a new Castlevania game coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3. Also, Jeremy schools Carlos on some Star Ocean and they chat it up RPG-style.
Another fine episode this week with the gang over at R3match Radio. The special guest this time around was site co-founder, Ryan, who talked up some old arcade machines. Golden Tee ‘99, anyone?

In an effort to keep the ‘ish going on a semi-regular basis we invited (read: hassled) a Texas friend of the show, Jeremy Lowe, to talk some games with Carlos today. They dig into some LittleBigPlanet, Tekken 6, God of War “sacrifices” and bunch of other Tokyo Game Show related news. Also, notice how we disregard Jeremy’s daughter, Victoria, first podcast appearance in the background.
