Podcast wrapup - Tron gets panned, Bionic Commando discusses price

Two podcasts have come out this week discussing XBLA games:

The Player One Podcast discusses Discs of Tron this week, discussing the differences to the original and how it.. really hasn't held up very well. It's the first "LIVE" podcast POP have ever done too, well worth the listen for some pre-GDC discussion.

It's a different kind of podcast this week. Greg is absent, CJ and Phil are LIVE from San Francisco. It's the first time we've recorded an episode where any of us were in the same room. We talk about the Game Developers Conference and seeing it from two angles (press and industry), as well as some of the bigger news of the week (NPD numbers, oh boy!).

But we spend most of the show talking about the games we've been playing over the past week. And that includes Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, PixelJunk Monsters, Team Fortress 2, Poker Smash, Discs of TRON, LEGO Star Wars TCS, Endless Ocean and Warriors Orochi.

Second up is the official Bionic Commando Podcast, who discuss Bionic Commando Rearmed a little, including what price point it will be released at:

It's two gaming media veterans for the price of one: podcast legend and "Gaming Jesus" Mark MacDonald, and the founder of localization company 8-4 and longtime Japan resident John Riccardi, join us on the show, discussing the games industry in Japan and abroad. We'll also be talking about the Alpha version of Bionic Commando, and debating the price point for Bionic Commando Rearmed.

Edit: The Official Bionic Commando website has also put up an article about Bionic Commando pricing, including a poll which might determine the price in the very end.
