While the Xbox 360 Fancast's birthday technically isn't until January 29th, this episode marks the end of our first full year of episodes. Frankly, we're getting a little misty-eyed, but we'll do our best to retain our composure. This week we talk about Rock Band's tremendous success (as a DLC machine), Microsoft's legal troubles, and Gears of War man-dolls. We also totally geek out over Bionic Commando Rearmed (except for Dustin). Download below. No, seriously, download it. Now. Oh, we also discuss enhanced podcasts during the show, more or less dismissing the idea. Having done a little research, we're going to look into it. Seems like a good way to start off year number 2, no?
