1022: Code in a Box
This week! CJ and Greg wade through a genuinely grim news pile: GTA VI's pricing and "code in a box" physical edition, the memory crisis pushing console prices toward $1,000, Valve's Steam Machine sticker shock, Xbox's worst sales month on record, and fresh layoffs at Bungie. There's a sliver of good news in a Sea of Thieves movie, and then it's on to what they've been playing — Star Fox, the Rhythm Heaven Groove demo, Picross, Gitaroo Man, and Vampire Crawlers. Listener questions cover next-gen wish lists and the long-lost "baby cast," and much, much more. Join us, won't you?
