After a short hiatus due to Mike’s Vacation and Comic-con craziness, the at1UP group is back. First up this week is some discussion about the $150 Kinect pricing. No one is too interested in the forthcoming motion control solutions, and the $150 price point makes it even harder for them to get excited.
The bulk of time is spent on comic-related topics this week, and rightfully so with Comic-con having just finished. Travis also pops in for a bit and talks about his initial impressions of the StarCraft 2 single player campaign. Jade and Alan close the cast with their opinions of Inception.
Note: Audio issues clear up around the 5 minute mark.
Covered games and topics: $150 Kinect, Street Fighter vs. Tekken, Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions, Hulk, StarCraft 2, Inception
Things fall apart quickly as Travis gets pulled away by corporate fat cats before the show starts and audio difficulties hinder the first few minutes of the show. But things quickly get back up to speed with talk of Starcraft II, Comic-Con, and Inception. Travis even manages to come back into the studio for some zombie discussion.

Is it just me or was this the worst audio out of any of the main podcasts ?? I wasn't using head phones and couldn't make out much of what they were talking about.
Hey Brian — I'll take the blame for this week's sound blunder. It only lasts for the first five minutes or so, though. I was out for a week and when I got back the studio was a little bit in disarray, I was little put off by that (as evidenced by my little rant at the very beginning), so basically I was cleaning up and setting up at the same time and forgot to make sure the laptop was pulling audio from the firewire/M-Audio box. That's why the first few minutes sounds like we're recording in a bathroom. Sorry about that.
