Humpdate 09-17-08

It’s a sad day in GameHound land. This episode of the GameHounds Humpdate will be Simon DI’s last time he’ll appear as the regular co-host.

It’s a sad day, but the GamerEdie Sellers sends him off with a heartfelt, if not a tearful, adieu.

And, of course, they also get into this week’s gaming news. Lots to discuss, what with Sony throwing the Life with Playstation switch a hair early, rumors of Google buying Valve, Xbox 360 price drops in the UK, and Peter Molyneux’s secret side.

All that can be yours for a listen.

Show notes and links after the jump…

This week, Edie and Simon DI discuss:

• Whoops! Sony inadvertently throws the Life with Playstation switch. Of course, 24-hours later we NOW know that they threw it on for everyone.
• Big FAT rumor: Google looking to buy Valve?
• Konami says it won’t sell a guitar peripheral with Rock Revolution.
• LittleBigPlanet coming to North America October 21 and Europe on October 24?
• Microsoft confirms Europe price drop for the Xbox 360.
• Peter Molyneux says Lionhead knew about the Fable 2 Pub Games cheat and hints that those who used it may have something special waiting for them when they play Fable 2. Does Peter have something up his sleeve?
• Rock Band 2′s phoneme-detection system sucks balls.

Plus thank yous, and a goodbye to Simon.

Enjoy
