Maestro claims the cookies for transcribing and sending in the text of the PCXL interview with Bungie's Joseph Staten. While we'd like to post it, those dang copyright laws keep getting in the way (we're seeking permission, mind you). Nevertheless, an interesting excerpt, regarding the (in some eyes, dubious) Powerplay initiative:

Q: Powerplay? The future or an idea?

A: The future, beyond a doubt, is high-bandwidth, low-latency online gaming that is as mainstream as cable TV and internet shopping. Powerplay appears to be a smart approach to achieving this ideal and Bungie will be participating in future Powerplay discussions, but it's too early to say if any of our games will make use of it.

Interestingly enough, many of the questions and answers bear resemblance to our own interview with Bungie's Jaime Griesemer, so you're not missing a lot at this point. Nevertheless, we'll post all that we can ASAP. Stay tuned...
