Things start off on a light-hearted note with the guys joking about possible forthcoming entries into the music game with peripheral genre. Theremin Hero anyone? It is no surprise that the Player One guys  are extremely excited about New Super Mario Bros.Wii, and they get into it here.

Natal rumors have sparked a resurgence in discussion surrounding the device, and the topic of what types of genres could benefit from this kind of control scheme leads the talk. As always, Phil capitalizes on the opportunity to bring up Milo and get into proper Peter Molyneux character. The guys touch on the recently released PoP iPhone app, which is being handled in exact same way as the Gamers with Jobs app with extra content being offered.

Chris is rather perturbed by the recent trend of Xbox 360 cases moving to a wagon-wheel style construction. His dissatisfaction trickles over into the decreasing quality of packed-in manuals. A short section of Modern Warfare 2 thoughts, and disappointment in the PSP Pinball Hero series closes-out the cast.
