For this week's installment of the Joystiq Podcast, we asked our good buddies, Alon and Ara, at Chatterbox Video Game Radio to join us and go over the week's news (astute listeners will quickly realize this was last week's news). We're also joined by Joystiq's own Jared Rea who walks us through (virtually mind you ... this is a podcast) the Capcom Gamer's Day event. Enough of the preface, have at you!Get the podcast:

Great! I've been a huge fan of Chatterbox ever since 2004. Even thru the numerous host changes, I've still been an ardent listener of the show. It's a nice break from the -- "Hey look at me! I have a video game podcast! Let's swear!" -- podcast that people normally do.
Like, Oh my god, I'm so going to the mall @ Apr 22nd 2007 9:34PM
That guy who was talking about the Capcom Gamer's Day on the phone, said "LIKE" way too much.

I'm with that guy who got confused by the X button functonality in halo 3. Now anyone who i happened to tell about that who plays it are gonna think I'm an idiot.

I Loooooove the fact you guys don't bleep your podcasts! Keep up the great work! Man I can not wait for SSF2T:HD remade by Udon. Think that is beign released for the sheer fact to see if people will buy it and the feedback Capcom receives to see if Udon should be making SF:4 with the same type of framerate that SF3 was made at....*Drooling*

Hi guys, not a frequent commenter but I couldnt help point out the issue of "Microsoft sets the marketplace content prices" where you cited Mark Rein saying Microsoft wanted to charge for content. Microsoft is the publisher of Gears of War though, so they can determine the price of that content over the developer. Activision/Red Octane is (are?) the publisher and therefore have more say in the price their content over the distributer (Microsoft). I think.

Good point SpartanWalrus36! (recognize you from x360f). As the retailer, there's another relationship at play. It costs MS money to host any content, so they are in a position to decide what prices can be set at a minimum on their service.
E*Master: we probably should have, but I don't remember any foul language ... there was a "dick" in there, but that's PG-13. It's really hard not to curse like a sailor sometimes. :)

Your the only gaming podcast I can't listen to with streaming on my PSP with the whole RSS function built in. Can you fix that please, I love listening to the show, but hate that I can't while I'm downstairs cooking or doing other super manly things.

Hey guys, I've listened to your podcast since it dropped and I have to say that it is pretty entertaining. Helps me get through my work day.
But to paraphrase your second guest host, you guys are Wii haters. Ok, ok maybe not haters but it doesn't seem to get a LOT of love. If you guys aren't big Wii fans that's no biggie, I'm a multi-console person myself so it doesn't infuriate me. But maybe you guys could have a guest on at some point that is a little more Pro Wii. You know, just for kicks.

Forrest: We're Wii haters? Have you ever listened to Chatterbox? :)
But seriously, we don't "hate" any console. When games we want to play come out on Wii, and they're good, we'll like it just fine. I don't know about you, but I can't find much to play on the dang thing.
