Episode 1: The Phantom Podcast
Panel: Chris, Gene and Paul
Rant: Gene and I compared the PS3 to the Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii. I went on to ask why all the Sony bashing after the price was release. Then we went over the price comparison of the 360 and PS3 while Gene defended the Wii. Paul later expressed his views, but no one really cares about his views.
