The GameSpot UK Podcast has gone weekly in 2009, and we're constantly trying to think of new things we can add to the show. To this end, we'll now be uploading our show notes to the site alongside the podcast itself every Thursday.

As always, let us know what you think and whether you'd like to see anything else on the show! Here are the notes for this week's show.

Well folks, I have a launch console & it finally got round to crapping out & dying on me. Not bad since it is now just over 2 years old & I only got the red lights of doom today but heres the thing. I am not going to get another 360. Or any other console for that matter. Please let me explain....
I am fully aware of the fact that I can get my 360 repaired so don't tell me I'm a ruddy fool but i no longer can be bothered with it at the moment & so I will be withdrawing from the gaming world at least until the next-gen. I do this with a heavy heart (especially since it's like only 4 days until GTA 4) but expenses are getting to me amongst many other things (I shan't go into detail). I feel really bad about it since i recently accepted the position of general games writer at TFMX.co.uk but of course now I don't have a 360.i still have my retro consoles & my portables & as I previously mentioned I intend to be involved with next-gen gaming but at the moment it just isn't a big enough draw for me at the moment what with cars, girls etc taking up most of my time & money.
