I never owned a Gamecube, and a big factor in my getting a Wii at launch was being able to play GC titles. I currently play more GC than Wii games on my Wii. This will hopefully change in the next 12 months, but during this time, Sony could be missing out on new gamers who may either wait until the PS3 library is bigger or buy something else like a Wii or 360 (or maybe a PS2).
IMO alltunes, the allofmp3 store frontend is a better music store than iTunes, particularly for offering a great deal of choice over codecs and bitrates, and being DRM free. If only they weren't probably/definitely illegal! I'd pay iTunes prices for alltunes content.
Fair point! Although it is very convenient to store many of the original games that I own on one flash card to save carrying all those seperate cards around...
Another disadvantage of the M3 simply, and many (all?) slot one cards is that download play (when you play locally against someone who doesn't have the game) does not work for many Nintendo games, including Mario Kart.
There is a comparison guide for slot 1 cards here but you may have to register (free) to access it...

It's a nice idea, but the content providers will never go for it. They want to use DRM to limit fair use so they can sell you the same content in different formats. They can make themselves sound very self-righteous banging on about preventing piracy, but they are at least as interested (if not much more so) in preventing our fair use.
