From all of us here at XBL Radio, we want to wish you, our community, and the community over at Platform Nation, a very merry christmas. So sit back, take out those video games that you asked for, and enjoy them as much as possible. Have a little egg nog (if you are old enough, of course), stuff yourself up on some holiday ham ( i know i did), and enjoy this time of year, you deserve it.
I assure you, the 81.0 show will be up soon, but in the meantime, take a listen to the latest episode of the Friend request show, or leave us a review over on itunes.
Take care everybody, and happy holidays from all of us here at XBL Radio.

There a few times a year where we give thanks to the many things we get to experience. Our first thanks goes out to our families for allowing us to take time away from them to bring you the XBLRadio shows. Secondly, we want to thank all of you listeners and readers for listening to the shows and visiting our site. We also want to thank all of the developers for making all the great games that they pour their heart into. There are so many more thanks that we can state, but we want you to enjoy the day with your family instead of reading a long post. So, from our families to yours, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
Note: Hello everyone, there was no 77.5 due to Mr B4 being sick and Silverthorne being out of town. Here is our next episode for all of you to enjoy. We apologize for the inconvenience, but enjoy this episode anyway.
Topics Include:
Circuit City files for chapter 11, is Best Buy too much for them? Microsoft giving away 1,000,000 MS points when NXE debuts, who really needs that many points? Mirror’s Edge talk, does it redifine the FPS action genre?, see what we think. Gears 2 vs. Resistance 2, which one is better? Wii Speak just released, but if you want to get all of its features, there is something you need to keep in mind. Listen to find out what that something is. Yay or Nay with Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, Tomb Raider Underworld, Need for Speed Undercover, Left 4 Dead, Prince of Persia, Sonic Unleashed, and Skate it. All this and more!

Episode 78.0 “Live Gears of War 2 Midnight Launch” will not be posted because we felt that the audio quality was not up to our standards to be posted. If you want to listen to the show anyways, you can head on over to our Ustream.tv page here and have a listen.
Come join us tonight as we are doing a live show on Ustream.tv. Kemanswar, KingL3pr3chaun, and Silverthorne will be holding down the fort, while X3R0 9 will be live on location at one of the local Gears of War 2 Midnight Launch events. So come listen in on what we have to say about things and join us in chat. If you happen to miss the show because you’re at a Midnight Launch, no worries, we’ll post the recorded version on Sunday.
Note: Due to some audio issues, we had to name this “The Latency Episode”. There was a recording issue that occurred, and we are sorry about that. We have noticed it, and will fix this for our next show. Silverthorne edited it the best he could so we could get you a show ASAP, so just keep that in mind and enjoy the show anyways.
Topics Include:
Storage solution for 360s without HDD for NXE, rip-off or good idea? Bioshock 2 Teaser Trailer hits the net, who’s excited for the next installment in this popular franchise? EndWar demo hits Xbox Live, does voice command work well, or sound like AOL Point and Speak? Obama ads in Burnout Paradise, clever or ridiculous idea? Ghostbusters picked up by Atari, it is about friggin time. Microsoft sued in California for 360 hardware failures, it is about time somebody said something about this issue. Yay or Nay with Far Cry 2, Fable II, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, Little Big Planet, Wii Music, Bioshock (PS3), and Rock Band 2 (PS3) All this and more!

I’ll make this short and sweet. The big news out of TGS this evening (other than Tekken 6 on the 360) is Bungie’s official announcement trailer for Halo 3: Recon, a prologue to Halo 3 focussed on the ODST Helljumpers. Check out the sweet trailer by clicking the link below:
Halo Wars gets a release date, warthog splattering anyone?
