This site has so many news updates i dont really see the point to be honest unless some of the mods just want a soapbox or something. I think the site already does a great job of reporting on gaming trends in news updates and sales analysts via news updates as well. This seems redundant imo.

Podcasts can be long, boring (and take forever to get to the point) and too opinionated, and so can Blogs.

So, I think it would be better to keep us updated with mini posts or make a collaborative up-datable encyclopaedia of your findings.

If you will be in the same room, I would recommend video. If not, I think a podcast would work best.

To tell the truth the podcasts seem to be the best idea. The problem with live im chat would be you being spammed with numourous questions during a live feed.

Of course you would need to choose members for these sessions where, let's say, three members would be "hosts" and two other would be normal vgc users that are picked out by the aforementioned three every month. This would be based on some lottery based method or by simple majority decision.

Questions could be submitted throughout the whole month to some kind of special message box for the hosts.

Okay so the idea isn't maybe very creative, since it's practically what ign does, but for something like this it's better not to try and improve a formula that already works quite well.

Podcasts, so I can listen to them at work, with my new Zune HD that I'm getting next week. I can't wait!!!!

the only thing you need to do is track all online games (wii ware, virtual console, xbla, comunity games, psn, ps1classics, xbox on demand, full ps3 game downloads, psp game downloads, dsi ware games) we are missing millions of sales, at least put some educated predictions to fill up the blank sales....

^ that was quite uneducated , and frankly, very rude of you to write.

yeah ioi....i kid

yeah and sometimes i can be amazing

edit: i guess ull have to deal with me cause i havnt been too bad lately ;)

I think it was rude to talk to ioi that way ;)

I think a podcasts would be the best way of doing this, and basically having pre-prepared agenda's put together ahead of time.
