Xbox 360 Fancast 005 -- Crackdown Syndrome

It's that time again, time to delve into the collective psychosis that is the minds of Xbox 360 Fanboy's bloggers. This week we discuss Xbox Live Arcade, more MGS4 rumor mongering, our profound lack of knowledge concerning Ken Rolston, and of course, Crackdown. You may notice that we all sound as though we recorded this inside a submarine. If that were in fact the case, it would be awesome. Unfortunately, the real reason for this week's lack of audio fidelity is that the internets (all of them) nearly swallowed the Fancast whole. Had it not been for some deft maneuvering, we might not have fished it out at all.

As a special treat, we have another guest host from 360 Arcadians this week, Ben "The Fid" Fidler. We like Fid for his wit, insight, and making fun of Scott Strickland. You may download the Fancast in the manner of your choosing below.

I tried to download this in iTunes, but it wouldn't work. I even refreshed the feed, but it still wouldn't work. Please fix it, as I cannot wait to listen!

Hey guys,

There was an issue with the iTunes feed. It should be fixed the next time iTunes sweeps our site, which should be later today.

Did you guys use a different program to render the mp3 this time? I am running wmp 11 on vista and it has been able to play every other episode fine, but this time there is an error with "Microsoft MPEG-1 (50) codec," Any thoughts?
