    @Stephen Totilo: Yes but who on Skype do we call?
    It does say Skype on the past few weeks on the 'Kotalku is live' page.
    Just I'm thinking that you may off added that to keep me quiet about requesting to be able to call via Skype and bypass international caller rates. #gta

    @Stephen Totilo: I can call with my mobile just not for free :P
    Just still get hit with international rates.
    It can be pricey for non-US to call kotalku, I was hoping that the option of skype would be skype-to-skype. So free calls for those of us out the country.[kotaku.com] #gta

    I just want to take the time and tell you guys here at Kotaku thanks, for creating a unique podcast that allows your readers to have some input in the discussion. I've had several opportunities to speak with you guys on the podcast and its even helped me get into PAX 2009! Anyway, you guys have inspired me to start my own videogame site and I'm looking forward to the launch of it. So again thanks Kotaku crew, for creating something great for the people to enjoy and have a way of being heard. -Jon Q #gta

    Should have talked about the bugs in NFS Shift that as of even now have no time-line for when they will be fixed. EA hasn't even so much has said the word patch on their forums.

    Add to that patch 1.01 adds on the PC, mouse and LAN, oh and D-Box support. Talk about heads in the sand or just don't care. #gta

    I cannot believe how much static was coming off my connection, no clue what was up there. Everything sounded fine to me, if I had known I would have called back. Once again, sorry! :P

    Anyways, great show guys! Looking forward to the next podcast. #gta

    Was there a bug in Crack in Time? When I popped it into the PS3 yesterday it already was prompting me for version 1.10. #gta

    @Stephen Totilo: The only issue I've seen with my retail copy was a glitch on one of the planetoids where the planet just went *poof*.

    But it was weird that it got updated basically within hours of it going on sale. I wonder if maybe they forgot to add the trophies until the last minute or something. #gta

    There is no reason NOT to pick up Uncharted now. Was worth it at $60 and even more so at $30!

    Missed it on launch, and just waited, like some horrible gargoyle, for a price drop.
    Today, I am successful.

    This is great news! I have a friend who owns a PS3 but, for some reason, has yet to touch Uncharted. I've told him this is an affront to society and, now that the game is cheaper, he might do something to correct it!

    For those who don't own Uncharted, you no longer have a reason. The game is damn well worth the $30.

    I would feel ripped off getting SOCOM for free. The amount of time it took to make it playable was an abomnation. It still doesn't include features on the fucking box!

    I bought Confrontation with the headset. I got it for cheaper than this.

    Also, anyone think that online-only games should be cheaper than games with a fleshed-out singleplayer mode?

    @BubbleF**kingBuddy: That depends entirely on the game. There's no hard and fast rule - for instance, what about fighting games, sports games and simpler racing games such as Motorstorm, or puzzle games? They have less 'content' than, say, Uncharted or Metal Gear Solid 4. But they have much more replay value so why should they get the short end of the stick? Same with online-only shooters.

    Then again, games like Team Fortress 2 and SOCOM did come at a lower price point than most single-player games.

    Curious to see if the headset bundle also gets a retail drop to $40, like the Warhawk bundle did (if I remember correctly).

    I could use a new headset and at that price I'm practically getting a free game!
