At launch 3DS sales were great - yes - but after the initial uptake it slowed to a crawl. Nintendo reacted by implementing a hefty price cut - something it wouldn't have done if 3DS sales didn't need a kick up the ass.

Agreed, though, since last August's price cut, 3DS has continued to gather momentum (it's been the best selling console in Japan every week since the drop in price). So, fair dos - me saying '3DS uptake has been slow' is misleading, so I've tweaked the words to be more accurate.

I SAY AGAIN: THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED.

A winner has been picked. If you haven't received a message from me in your GamesRadar message box, well, that means you haven't won. Sorry.

But there's always next time. Keep believing!

Just so everyone knows, boourns wins the game this week. A copy of 'Call of Duty: Something' on PSP is currently making its way to him. He so lucky.

The voice is Kevin Eldon. He's done all sorts (Brass Eye, Smack the Pony, Hot Fuzz). Google him.

Must admit I like the voice and am currently saying 'Frobisher says' quite a lot. Which is annoying for everyone except me.

At first I wasn't sure how much a new Wipeout would impress me, but - along with Everybody's Golf - it's pretty much the only thing I've been playing for the last couple of weeks. Based purely on the demo, 2048 looks like it should be the best Wipeout yet.

Whether it justifies the considerable cost of a Vita though... that all depends on your bank account.

The sticks work perfectly - I just prefer the d-pad for Wipeout.

Mooshon wins this week's amazing game giveaway (a copy of Rage on 360).

Thanks everyone for taking part. Don't forget to try again next time.

You could be winner.

The problem with the link is now FIXED and will take you to episode 4 as it should. Enjoy the show and keep having a lovely Christmas.

Peguin has won the competition. His answer was 'Teetees', so he wins by default. As soon as he sends me his address, I'll get a copy of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen in the post to him.

Make sure you listen to next week's podcast, which will be live on Wednesday 28 December, as we'll be giving away Rage on Xbox 360.

There were actually only two pillowcases. And I want one of them. We'll see about giving away the other one soon. Promise.

Just to let everyone know that the winner for the comp is JDash10. He said that the game he'd like to see made into a movie was 'The Elder Scrolls, starring Nicolas Cage as everybody.'

That made us laugh, so he wins. Well done JDash10. You've earned yourself a copy of Infamous 2.

Thanks everyone for taking part and supporting the GRUK podcast.

There will be another chance to win video games and stuff in next week's podcast, which will be ready for your listening pleasure on Wednesday 14 December.

Yes. Sorry. Forgot to mention that some of this - and a whole bunch of other stuff we unearthed in the move - will be given away at some point.

Sorry to everyone that's having a problem with the Shinobi ad. Hopefully the men that can fix such things will fix it as soon as possible.

Ew. Yes. The poo filter appears to be fully engaged. We'll get a better one sorted as soon as poss.

What I mean to say and what I actually say are often two different things. My brain and my mouth are only vaguely acquainted with one another.

Er, podcast. Yeah. It's kind of taken longer to get back to it than originally planned. It will almost definitely return one day. I think.

Forgot to mention that - obviously - the advert would have been a lot better if they were all saying 'Jason' instead of 'Michael'

I do occasionally exploit the kids for the benefit of GamesRadar.

The first picture with the number 6 entry in this article is a good example:
