Has anyone here beside me listened to gamespot's 3DS special? They actively discourage people from buying it.

They never change do they. I mean yeah there maybe no games. And yeah I bet soon there will be a better version but its still really cool tech to mess with. People are spending $600 on useless Ipads, why not recommend this.

It's worth listening to just so you can observe a nice bit of groupthink. It's endlessly interesting to me to listen to the various podcasts and hear the small groups opine in their endless feedback loops. Like the Giantbomb guys take on Demon's Souls versus that of gamespot.

Speaking of podcasts, if you want to know what is wrong with this current gaming generation listen the to first twenty minutes of the latest Playerone podcast. Yet another 360 bites the dust, but the interesting part is what happens with the premium Mass Effect DLC that was on the dead 360.

I think the 3 P1 podcasters have now gone thorugh 3-4 360's each.

They go on and on about the hardware itself.
