What is the one of the biggest holidays of the year? Memorial Day. What’s so cool about it? Well, while many people like it because of the 4 day weekend or because it signals that summer is near, Memorial Day is a day that we are to remember all those that gave their life fighting for this country and what they believe in. This day is also about thinking of those that are risking their lives overseas every day. So here at XBL Radio, we decided to hold a game drive for these awesome and sometimes forgot about troops.

Factual statistics or just something for the fanboys to fluster about? Either way, NexGenWars.com is the eaisiest way to find out the status of all 3 console sales. In fact so easy, it’s virtually the only thing you’ll find on the site at this point.

There is some more information to learn about this site and you can get it by checking out gamertagradio.com!  Godfree will publish an interview with the founder/owner of NexGenWars.com soon.

In a rare interview, Leo Laporte shares his thoughts about Sony’s major console release right around the corner.

Some might say, “Leo is no gaming expert”. Well, gaming is right up his alley as the subject does harmonize in the realm of technology. Leo Laporte is a Tech Guru, in fact-considered by many-The Tech Guru. With over 250,000 weekly downloads of TWiT and over several hundred thousand more downloads of his other tech publications to go along with his live radio show on KFI 640 AM in LA, Laporte knows what he’s talking about.Â

“Unless they come out with something really
good-some specatular, mind blowing, good
games that are just unique to the platform-
I think the PS3 may be a really big bust for Sony.”

Laporte knows his stuff. Has he been wrong about things? Not often. Will he be wrong about this one? November 17th is not the day we’ll find out.  Of course the PS3 is gonna sell out that day. But with the Xbox 360 having a year jump start and the Nintendo Wii launching two days later for less than half the price, perhaps there will be a new console king this generation.

“I don’t think Final Fantasy 72
or whatever it’s gonna be, is going
to be enough to make the PS3 a success.”

Back in August, XBL Radio sat down with Laporte for a frank, one hour discussion about technology, podcasting and gaming. If you missed that interview, you can find it on the XBL Extra Feed (also on iTunes). You can direct download the audio here (Right Click, Save As… for best download experience).
