Track and Field sprint pad is the precursor to today's Dance Dance Revolution pads.
But the zapper never developed. Lik-sang sells a couple generic Desert Eagle/MP5 wannabe zappers but that was as good as it good. There were major compatability problems GunCon1,2,3 too many standards from different companies.
If the original PS3/Xbox360 actually set the standard by including a cheesy zapper from day 1, there is hope in the gun peripherals.
I have been to Toronto myself. You make it seem like there is nothing there. While Canada is short on anything "US supplied", it makes it up with many other import products from many other countries.
Here in the US is the exact opposite. We have a huge supply of everything US made, especially technology. We are short on just about everything cultural.
The alcohol business has a serious branding issue far worst than the computing industry. It's completely driven by marketing.
Small wine/beer companies have zero chance to compete against the likes of Budweiser, Busch, Coors and other lousy products meshed with superior marketing.
I cannot tell you the list of wine/beer that I highly prefer, that I will never see in any restaurant. Why? Cause they'd rather stock 300 bottles of Budlight that they can sell.
Actually no. Your pharmacy, doctor, and drug companies have no intention selling you anything that guarantees a fix. They want you to come back for the "treatments" and keep coming back... and paying and paying.
There is really two Disney in one. There is the "corporate Disney" and the classic "Disney" which is slowing fading away.
I don't see any reason for the classic Disney to incorporate a company like Ubisoft. And the corporate Disney has had serious management problems in the past years.
Please... It surprise me even more to not see TouchScreens available. Why have a mouse, a gun? When you can just do the touch-of-death in a FPS game. Anyone would dominate.
I know of two people who came real close to buying a Mac Mini, and didn't due to performance reasons. Instead they bought large/ugly/beige/boring generic PCs. One of them squeezed in a striped SATA hard disk set for the same cost.
Wasn't the Internet in the 70s called Arp net or something lame. That's alright. As soon as money comes thru Internetwork, marketing guys will flood this thing with 8 million buzzwords.
That's very well said. They terminated the Saturn so prematurely, games were still on sale for $49.99 in stores.
About the programming. I have NEVER seen all developers universally agreeing on 1 language being the easiest. I just don't believe all 100% of the developers feel the Xbox SDK was the preferred one.
Well if Apple decide to use their own proprietory movie format, it's no better than PSP using UMD.

The only thing "great" about the original Xbox is the broadband requirement. Online gaming is here for good now, and it's just a mediocre experience when everyone is slowed down by one 56k modem user. I am hoping PS3 and Xbox360 all require broadband.
I don't know why people think Sun is flying so much higher than SGI.
There is the SGI graphics section, which I agree has been toast for ages. Then there is the rest of SGI, doing distributed filesystems and doing alright.
Sun is far knee deeper on expense problems, layoffs and every other fight with linux. Remember when people wanted to buy ftp servers for example, they used to buy sun. Now, they buy linux/BSD. This is not an area SGI ever really competed in.
I posted this a few days ago. I am going to bring this up everytime some article declares Xbox the automatic winner for coming out 1st.
History of 1st one out of the gate....
8-bit era - Nintendo - good 16-bit era - TurboGrafx16 - no good 32-bit era - 3D0 - no good 64-bit era - Jaguar - no good 128-bit era - Dreamcast - no good
Just go to Overclock Remix site's, there are plenty of outstanding FREE mp3s to download. Not only for final fantasy, but a ton of other games too. I have downloaded so much, I am amazed my cable company haven't killed my connection yet.
For once I actually agree with an AC. There are way too many distributions of Linux. Now before someone say we need 200 distros for the OS to be a success. No, you don't. We are spreading talents way too thin. Everytime a distro dies, it looks bad on the linux name in general. We should cut down to 3 versions only.

Oh hey no problem. The marketing guys said it's ok to buy A.
You beat me to it. Symphony of the Night is the best 2D platformer there is.... still to this day.
Reporter: Is the new xbox called xbox 360
Ballmer: Yes
Reporter: Do you think it will top PS3
Ballmer: Yes
Reporter: Is Bill Gates still the CEO
Ballmer: Yes
Reporter: Do you enjoy taking it up the ass
Ballmer: Yes, I mean.... I am a very busy marketer.

Anyhow, that is a pretty good trash-Disney link.

Don't you really mean Honda Civic.
Shouldn't be so hard on the IT director. At least he/she is willing to change. There are some decision makers locked into M$ FOR LIFE.

After HL2 and Doom3 at $59.99 struggled to work on most people's video cards and top-of-the-line PCs. I would think consumers have had it.
Anyways, we just need a game with lots of guns. Not 10, not 15. We need about 200. Rainbow 6 Ravenshield still have the largest selection around.
Exactly! And naturally Xenix became SCO unix today. As M$ calls it "Some Cashed Out" unix.

There seems to be an infinite number of articles about the E3. Where as the Tokyo Game Show, we hear so little about.

If this thing is government maintained... count how many days before it gets hacked. A search for "BUSH" might return "TERRORIST".
In other news the search engine provide the administration excuses to raise taxes.
Well a customer's life isn't that important to Apple. What's important s that they charge you $99 for a battery replacement.
