One of our favorite parts of every show is reading what YOU have to say. You figure after 56 episodes we would have devised a more efficient way of chatting with our community, but you’d be WRONG. By now you’ve probably realized that efficiency isn’t really our thing. On occasion we get responses so large they require several tweets or even a full fledged e-mail! We decided to try something new this week for folks that don’t use Twitter, but still want to be part of our podcast. How does this magic work? Simply reply to our Twitter question of the week in the thread below, and you just may make it onto our next episode. As always, thank you so much for helping us out! We like you more than friends…
Rated NA:57 – : With a new console on the horizon, what game or feature would make you excited enough to upgrade?
Describing what PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) is to someone who has never been to a PAX can be a bit of a challenge. It’s a convention, sure, but it’s also a whole lot more than that. PAX has become a bi tri-yearly pilgrimage for gamers and creatives, a utopia where they can go and be surrounded by other people similar to themselves… oh, and also play some video games.

I am afraid of the new consoles cause I somehow doubt my massive Rock Band music library would transfer over! Eek!
That is incredibly scary to think about.
honestly other than the latest greatest hardware, what more can they do? My Xbox360 already plays games, streams movies, tv, and music, uses cloud storage, downloads games instantly, works with or without a control (if you have Kinect), helps manage social apps, lets you video chat (again with Kinect), surfs the web. I mean with all the things you can already buy through xbox live they might as well just put an amazon app on there and be done with!
All
that’s required for me to upgrade is for the progression in gaming quality
we’ve seen in this console generation to continue into the next. Considering
that there is more attention, cultural influence, money, and talent in the
gaming industry than ever before, I don’t see that changing.
I am
however cautious as to what will be required to upgrade. How much will my new console cost? The initial price of the PS3 was $600, and
the hardware is only getting more expensive.
Will it require a 24/7 smooth internet connection knowing that many
areas around the country and overseas have spotty coverage at best? Will I need a top of the line television to
play?
These
are important questions, but as long as I keep seeing further improvements in
gameplay and narrative (the best example being Mass Effect), I’m in.
