 Somewhat in keeping with the way in which "Consolevania" was shot on MiniDV, the majority of series was filmed on a Sony HVR-Z1U .This small scale camera made in possible to shoot series in , but without an expensive DigiBeta kit and crew; something that the small production budget would not allow.Recurring features unique to the first series were sketches about terrible video game pitches (like "Black and White Minstrel Show 2006"), Glasgow hard-man Barry Anoki reporting on video game news, and a spoof soap opera about video game development called "DevCo".
