Might want to re-read above because I didn't say anywhere not to put all your eggs in *one* basket. I said not to put them in the "Qore basket" which IMO is going to end up, regretfully, a failure. Respectfully, Sony is a much bigger gig than Mahalo Daily, your Revision3 show or even Tekzilla which was the primary point. Maybe financially it's not (none of my business, so please don't answer that), but from a hosting career perspective you don't think it is? And Lemmings has been out since the launch of the Playstation Store, just curious, what took so long? I'd think you'd be into the new Rock Band stuff (no?) I'm happy to update the post above BTW and link out to your other vcasts, provide the best links in a response and I'll move them up :) Hmm, I don’t know, Jason seemed a little surprised in his initial post about you leaving on calacanis.com, Veronica, but I appreciate your correction there, thank you.

Yes, you missed the Tekzilla part entirely, which I find especially interesting considering you tell me to "not put all of my eggs in one basket." The eggs are nicely distributed, thank you. As for the paying part, I have no say or control over the business side of things, but considering I threw down more than $2.99 last week for Lemmings at the Playstation Store, I don't think it's too insane to pay the same for 40 minutes of original video content that comes bundled with exclusive demos and betas. But hey! No one is making anyone pay either. It's opt-in. V I don’t think I “dumped” them… there was no crying or ceremonious ice cream eating afterward.

That you dumped Mahalo Daily for ... Tekzilla and PS3 video gig? Or just the missing Tekzilla part? Or are you disputing that you "dumped" Mahalo Daily period?

Tekzilla has been my job as well for the past 2 months, so while I appreciate your point of view about Sony, your title is inaccurate.

It's that Nintendo Channel. They do mainly trailers, but there's some interviews and such. They could definitely expand on it. It is free, and it's basically just video streaming. I did watch a couple of them, and was fairly impressed with it. It's like a Youtube channel, but only of Nintendo stuff. But you're right. F-R-E-E is the word to spell these days for this stuff.
