Microsoft may be looking to merge Skype into all of their voice applications, including XBox Live. Now you can harrass your friends to get online while they do "other activities". Also, PS3 overtakes 360 in worldwide sales, Mass. removes violent video games from rest stops, and EA/Bioware catches flack for their gay/ghetto planet.

Hosts: Jarret Redding, Robert Hill-Williams, Nick Zielenkievicz
Theme: "Insert Coin" - Chris Geehan of Hyperduck Soundworks
