Power Button - Episode 10: EA's Online Pass Breaks Hearts; PSP2 Is Due To Start
May 18, 2010
Whenever intriguing news threatens to pass us by, we reach out and catch it before it gets away. This week on Power Button Joey Davidson, Brad Hilderbrand, and I hash out the latest "Project Ten Dollar" initiative from Electronic Arts: the Online Pass. Is it fair to charge an additional $10 for multiplayer access when buying a used EA Sports game? After that we tackle the recurring rumors that Sony is prepping an E3 announcement for the next generation of Sony PlayStation Portable. We review whether or not the market demands a PSP2 and then run down our own personal wishlists for the hypothetical handheld. This is actually the second Episode 10 that we recorded, as what was intended to be last week's show was lost when someone stole Joey's laptop. I hope you're enjoying our lost episode, thief. Download this week's episode directly from PTB, listen with the player below, or subscribe via iTunes (and we're working on fixing the issue where iTunes only offers the latest episode), and be sure to catch up on past episodes if you're joining us late.
