On that day as well myself, and a few others meeting a specific age group and other criteria (namely being male, not working for anyone in the gaming or ad industry, ect.) did a couple hours in a group (one of several) to talk about what we wanted in MMORPG. It was leaked out (the poor guy was obviously very tired having dealt with us gamer's all day) that it was for the XBox and that it would be an Everquest knockoff of some sort.
On a more amusing note: The main thing the gamers wanted as a feature was NO LAG.
Im only wondering if it is within the Sony PVG-C1VN series VAIO's (I bought one the day before the recall was confirmed and price on the unit jumped 45 USD (Hmmm)) Because when I get it the very first thing I am going to do it wipe Windows ME off the drive providing Windows 2000 runs the drivers and a few of the selected software packages and, of course, install Debian. I will be disappointed if it does not work but a recall probably means a replacement after a couple of weeks. The good question of "How did these pass QA control?" is indeed a valid one.
"Install a non-Microsoft operating system? *whipcrack* Independent Thought Violation! Go to Detention!" - said laughing a bit by a fellow perl hacker at my work after we discussed the recall.
