Series Three began in the summer of 2007, and four episodes (as well as a lost episode) were released between June and October 2007. Production of "Consolevania" then halted again for the third series of "videoGaiden" (December 2007–March 2008). In late 2008, the show's creators experimented with a new distribution method, making new reviews and sketches available on the show's YouTube account before releasing compilations of these items as episodes in the usual manner. However, this proved to be a short-lived experiment: equipment problems and the creative team's growing disenchantment led to the end of the original run of "Consolevania" in January 2009.
