“Major Nelson's passion for gaming is infectious, and his passion for audio translates to a high-impact, high-value podcast. Yes, he is a high-level Microsoft director and there is a deep craft to his competitive rhetoric, but it should never be mistaken for propaganda. Xbox Live is a fantastic innovation and he is rightfully enthusiastic about it not only as an online gaming service but as an opportunity to communicate with customers. That's what this podcast (and his blog) is all about: a direct conversation between Microsoft corporate and the consumer. That this is conducted in a deeply engrossing manner is something I value highly about this podcast.
The more obvious value in this podcast is the sheer firepower of Major Nelson's interviews. He has an all-access pass to Microsoft corporate and top tier game developers, and his professional audio background ensures that the right questions get asked. It's great when fellow Microsoft employees stop in to talk or even co-host, because you can see the enthusiasm for gaming doesn't stop at Major Nelson's office door.
This podcast is a phenomenon, and should be a top choice for anyone who owns an Xbox. It will broaden your understanding of the philosophies behind Xbox360 and Xbox Live and give you a unique access point deep in the Microsoft camp. Whether you want to know what's coming up for Xbox, or you just want to expand your horizons in gaming business and culture, this should be your first stop along that path.”Read full review »

“Even though Major works for Microsoft, almost all he talks about is unbiased. I love that a company doesn't silence bad talk or good talk about their competitors’.
Keep it up Major looking forward to the next 1.”Read full review »

“This podcast has a lot of info on the Xbox 360. One of my favorite things that Major Nelson has that a lot of other 360 podcasters don't is the interviews. He always has the latest scoop since he works at Microsoft. I recoment this podcast if you are at all interested in Video Games.”
