If you put in a hardware modchip, there's stuff that allows you to playback DVD's, but it'll kill the laser. Wii wasn't built for constant reading of a disk.
If you want to run HOMEBREW games, and not downloaded pirated Wii games, then 50 bucks for an SDGecko + the cost of an SD card.
No it won't.
Get an Xbox(Original, not 360) or PSP if you want a system with an active homebrew scene already established.
I won't care until I can run this off of my SD card plugged into the Wii, as opposed to needing an SDGecko to go through my Gamecube Memory card port.
Until then, ZZzzzZZZzzzzzZZ
Because a lot of the people who pirate, wouldn't have bought the stuff in the first place.
How many people would own photoshop if they couldn't just download it? That isn't Adobe's market. Back in the day people would just tape songs off the radio. What about the old two VCR trick? Rent a video from Blockbuster, use a blank tape and copy it while you watch it.
There's different Blu Ray profiles. 1.0/1.1 is what was originally released. Profile 2.0 makes some things that were optional in 1.x mandatory. More ram, better processor, etc so the players can accommodate the newer disks that have more features. The older one's don't have the processing power to keep up. The PS3 does, and can be updated with just a firmware update.
And to the GP: I present to you the floppy disk, the compact disk, and the fact betamax was still used commercially until recently. Sony wins them just as often as they lose them.
Something that's sold 8 million consoles in the year since it's release? About the same number the the 360 has sold? And what is honestly the best Blu-Ray dvd player on the market, since it's already powerful enough to be able to do any new versions of blu-ray with just a firmware upgrade.
Go back to when the PS3/Wii first came out and check the 360's sales. They're the same as what the PS3 is at now.
Go troll elsewhere.
I know someone who has two legit versions of Photoshop.
She bought CS around when CS2 came out, and used it up until a few months ago when she bought a new Mac Pro and bought CS3 so she wouldn't have to keep using CS virtualized.
This has already started. On What.CD? there's quite a few independent artists who upload torrents of their own work and then it's freeleeched for everyone. A link back to their site is there, and they do get donations.
And what a lot of people don't seem to realize, is that quite a few of the people committing internet piracy would never have bought the media in the first place, so they aren't actually losing any money.
They need to focus on the big drawers.
DDR, Beatmania, GuitarFreaks, Drummania, ITG, MvC2. Any place I've been to that had those machines, there's always a line unless you go in the middle of the day on a school day. There's always a line and it's usually 10-15 minutes long. Well, except MvC2, but there's always someone to play. Keep them maintained, make them seen.
You saw the Japan only release of F-Zero AX in a Disney Hotel? I'm jealous.
Only the Japan cabinet got the GCN memory card slot, because the Japanese thought the American's would just fuck it up.
My local Tilt closed last year, and I was really sad. I'm a DDR and Tekken player and they always refreshed. DDR was 75 cents for 3 songs, and Tekken was always 50 cents until you died. They also had Soul Caliber 2 and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and a bunch of older crappier games.
Now it's just Brunswick Zone. DDR/PIU/Drummania/GuitarFreaks are all a dollar for 3 songs. Allegedly they're getting a Beatmania IIDX GOLD machine pretty soon and it's gonna be the same price probably. They've got the newest Tekken, MvC2, SC2, TC4? maybe 3 I don't play it that often. THey update their games pretty often, and the prices are all a dollar or less for the game and you play until you lose all your lives, or for the sound sim games 3 songs. It's always been fair to me. I go to the Brunswick in Naperville.
I'm happy I don't live where it seems the rest of the people in these threads have been with exorbitant prices and shitty hardware.
If you have a dial up modem, you can use http://account.netzero.net/s/landing?action=viewProduct&productId=free and get free dial up internet for 10 hours a month. But in reality you can have unlimited hours a month. Make a new account, more hours. That used to work, I dunno if it still does.
Not really.
G Gundam's tournament was to prevent war from ever happening, because every country was so focused on having their Gundam win the competiton so they put forth all of their time making THEIR Gundam as best as it could be. And don't forget, there were still PEOPLE inside the robots. Gundam's in that were as close to exoskeletons as any Gundam series because it moved as you moved, you weren't using levers and buttons,you were actually punching kicking and running.
But just remember:
THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER. ITS BURNING GRIP TELLS ME TO DEFEAT YOU. TAKE THIS! MY LOVE, MY ANGER, AND ALL OF MY SORROW! BURNING FINGER SWORD!
I've never been a big Ms. Pac Man player, always preferred the original, but when there's an AI that can pull off a perfect game then I'll be impressed, like that guy who got a perfect score on Pac Man without losing a life in the 80's. When the AI can do that it's done something. Not breaking 10,000 points? Meh.
Whenever I see discussion about teleportation discussed, I think about Ilium and how in reality when they were teleporting, they were being killed and brought back to life at the other end, they were never the same person, made of the same atoms, just an exact copy.

Why are you glad?
If you didn't like it, why were you still using it?
Why didn't you just not use it??

The loss of Stage6 saddens me. I hope Veoh gets more stuff on it.

ffdshow is like an audo/video codec. Except it does many of them, and very well.

It does not specify how the person walked away. I present to you, the moonwalk.
I'd like to see what Superman 64 would have been had it not been delayed.
I know someone who has two legit versions of Photoshop. She bought CS around when CS2 came out, and used it up until a few months ago when she bought a new Mac Pro and bought CS3 so she wouldn't have to keep using CS virtualized.
I for one welcome our new Galactic Overlords.
Well coded game that doesn't rely on Win32 system calls, and a graphics engine that is easily flipped between OpenGL and DirectX.
This has already started.

My release Sega Saturn works to this day. It hasn't failed yet.
And my 4th gen iPod died after a year of use, and my 5th gen iPod is a bitch to turn on and off. I'll be buying an iAudio XL pretty soon.
It's called Xbox 360 because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.
