Battlestar Galactica flying onto Xbox Live [update 1]
We know a lot of you out there love you some Battlestar Galactica. Nay we say it's the best show on television? You better frakkin' believe it! Well get ready for more of the Sci-Fi Channel's hit series as it prepares for a PR offensive that includes the "first longform program ever to be offered" on Xbox Live Marketplace, according to GameSpot.The content being offered up, titled The Story So Far, is in preparation for the third season of Battlestar and more or less sums up everything that has happened in the series. There was no concrete date set (but the new season starts in October) or price. We can only hope because it is basically an advertisement, that the content will be free. If it is, we'd say this is a good sign of varying entertainment options being made available to the 360 and Xbox Live.[Update: NBC Universal reps told GameSpot that the Battlestar Galactica episode would be free of charge and available in mid-September. The rep was unclear as to the size of the download.]
Chris Grant co-host on Gaming Steve podcast
Joystiq's very own Christopher Grant is not only posting from the 2006 Game Developers Conference, he's also starring in a podcast.Okay, so technically he's just co-hosting an episode of an ongoing podcast with Gaming Steve, but you can't miss this opportunity to hear Chris's laid-back, sweetly smooth voice. (There are reports that Chris also sounds somewhat like a stoner, but we wouldn't be able to tell you what those kind of people sound like anyway, so what can we say?)As for the podcast itself, Chris and Steve go into the events of the last day, enthusiastically sharing about Microsoft's bloggers breakfast with Peter Moore (inset), Phil Harrison's PS3 keynote, what the new Battlestar Galactica might have to do with games, and everything else that they saw in San Jose. And, hey, maybe if we're lucky, we'll get another guest Joystiqer co-hosting with Steve today. More from GDC as we get it...See also: Direct download link for the podcast in question [55 minute-long MP3] Gaming Steve's "Day 3" report on GDC 2006 [where we got the pic] Joystiq @ GDC: In the beginning...

Get a free episode of Battlestar Galactica in iTunes
Much like Sports Illustrated did with this year's Swimsuit Issue, TV Guide is offering a free episode of Battlestar Galactica via iTunes. To get your copy, simply buy the March 6th edition of TV Guide (it should be out now) and enter the unique code you find inside. This will allow you to get the episode "Downloaded," which was a fantastic episode, I must say (plus it guest stars Lucy Lawless). [Via TVSquad]

You can count down the very seconds until airtime with the Galacticaa Widget (yes, the second "a" is supposed to be there). Also, get images, the name of the upcoming episode, its status as a repeat or a new episode and a brief synopsis of what's next for the members of the fleet.If you're a fan, I suggest you download the frakking thing.
