I like the style and power of older sports cars and muscle cars...while the current in thing is small economy cars....aka Honda Civic...so to be cool ricer A will spend 4000 on his 130 HP car.
Now let's put the same money in both....Nitrous same cost for both cars...exhaust upgrade is 3x as expensive for a honda than it is for a camaro/ or most any domestic....Fiberglass Body..about the same cost..other mods roughly the same cost...COmputer chip is cheaper than the civic's also...now even if the guy does beat you in a race...you know he looks stupid and spent at least 5000.00 more than you..pricelss
well I moved to Oregon from Ohio..in Ohio there is OU - Ohio Univ. and OSU....but I've never heard of Uof O in Ohio..so unl;ess it would be a REALLY small school it's not there....but Oklahoma mayu have one but as K. said he did see something on the news
Most people already own DVD players.....I'm sorry I like my DVD player...I don't need a game console to play my DVDs...just like when I had a CD player...I didn't use the play station for one
I am sure this is a marketing ploy by nintendo to beat x-box to market. THere are other reasons for this though. This cuts out the mad dash on the release date for everyone to run to the store and cause the panic that the PS/2 release. This also gives everyone a larger chance of procurring a gamcube and they will know well in advance of any possible shortages where they will have more time to crank of production...it may be a few weeks but they might be able to squeeze out a few more gamecubes if needed.
X-box shot themselves in the foot by doing a US only release at first. If they had done their research a larger percentage of the population in Japan is more likely to buy a game console than in America.
I personally am considering buying both systems.....It all depends on the games though....there is nothign compelling that "I have to play" coming out on either system that I have read.....what am I looking for from gamecube is Mario, Zelda, and Metroid....x-box will need to release somethign just as compelling...I have held off buying a PS2 waiting for a price drop which should happen after the holidays..and the fact the very few games that I wanted to play on it....currently the only reasons I want a PS2 is Gran Turismo 3 and Tony Hawk 3 multiplayer
What other work has Bruce done that he may consider "beneath" mentioning. A few years ago my wife and I were on an airplane flying from Cleveland to Chicago (I don't remember the airline) and look and behold who is starring in the flight safety video...none other than Mr. Campbell himself.....How did he get rigged into that one? THis was after Brisco County Junior so he didn't need mooney THAT bad.
