Show 053 -  01.22.08 -

Hey guys, I'm going to add a new quick segment to the show, called 'Get to know Destructoid.' There are a couple reasons I'd like to do this; mainly because a) it will attract more listeners b) It gets them involved in our show and c) it cross promotes the show on a site that has WAY more views than mine;;  It will be a short one-on-one interview segment; no work for you guys, we can put it towards the end of the show so they have to listen all the way through.

''' Hey guys, I can't get the interview with Niero until 8pm Monday night :P Can we push back 1 hour? Call me if this is a problem! 417.342.5312'''

2. A blogger at the Seattle PI purprtedly interviewed an anonymous Microsoft insider about the Xbox 360 RROD issue just this past week and gave a couple(and by couple I mean thousands) of reasons why it is/was so common. The annonymous source says that the 'RROD is caused by anything that fails in the "digital backbone" on the mother board. [But]The main design flaw was the excessive heat on the GPU warping the mother board around it. This would stress the solder joints on the GPU and any bad joints would then fail in early life. There are also other significantly high failure rates in other areas, like the DVD.'" --YJ

3. If you are on a budget like me, Best Buy has quite a deal for you this week. In their weekly flyer we have both BioShock and Assassin's Creed, both 360 and PS3 version, for only $40! Definitely not on the family list, but it doesn't end there! Online you can get any two $20 games for $30! There are a lot of PS2 and DS games to select from and a spattering from other systems. Also for PS3 owners, buy two Blu-Ray movies, from a given selection, and get a $10 gift card, but buy three and get a $25 gift card. https://www.bestbuy.com --Matt

6. So all of you Nintendo faithful that have been dutifully waiting for your Super Smash Bros. Brawl are rewarded with, another month's worth of delay. In a move that surprises, well no one really, the game has been delayed yet again. Let's all have fun waiting! A possible reason for the delay? :3 new SSBM characters accidentally confirmed in a Japanese video demonstrating controls for the game. Jigglypuff Lucario and Ness--Matt
