Nice find! That's a killer deal on a great item.

Bet your ass I just ordered mine! $9.01 shipped!

I'm so happy about this, I've been looking everywhere for that gun, Ebay is outrageous and most sites don't even have them in stock. Not even Nyko has them! So to find one that says "ships in 1 to 2 days" and for $9.01 feels pretty good.

Very impressed with the hardware reviews ... Shane and Chris could learn quite a bit from your use of brevity You didn't drone on forever and still managed to hit on all the major points that I'd actually care about. That is how it should be done. And I'm not picking on Shane's pinball review either, as that was good too.

Definitely looking forward to the WiiWare coverage. Don't forget that not all your listeners are Wii owners, and most (if not all) the info we'll get on Wii-related news will come from your show, so don't assume that anything is common knowledge With WiiWare specifically, exactly what is it (I'm guessing same as XBLA), how will games be stored, how much will they cost, etc. etc.

Also, have you considered releasing the show in mono instead of stereo? You'd save bandwidth and I don't think you would take much of a hit (if any) in audio quality.

Glad you enjoyed the show, and thanks for the great suggestions!

I'm definitely trying to keep non-Wii owners as well as casual Wii owners in mind who may not be up to speed on all the latest news that may be common knowledge for the Wii enthusiasts among us. The trick is to find the right balance to try and keep the different types of listeners engaged.

I'm also kicking around some ideas on how to make the show more meaningful for listeners in Europe, since they are on a different schedule (and menu) for not only releases but for Virtual Console and Wii Ware as well.

I have considered releasing it in mono, in fact, the stereo thing was a last minute decision since I was able to achieve a relatively small file size that way. I may very well switch to mono with the next release, but I'm not 100% sure just yet.

[Shane R. Monroe]

mono is the only way to go

I enjoyed your "Storytime Theater" when you discussed playing SSB on launch nite.

Alex -

Just finally got to listen to your show and was very impressed. Very engaging format and lots of great information that I don't have time to scrounge up on my own. I love the Wii and your show makes a great accessory.

Keep up the good work
