Not that I'm defending Microsoft here, but uh, how is Sony a niche market company? They are just as everywhere as Microsoft is. PDA, Mobiles, Electronics, etc.

Why can't they be both? Labor of love that saves money? sounds like a good idea to me.
that was one thing I rather enjoyed about Star Fleet Command 3. The single player mode was quite nice. Then again, any game that let you control Borg cube can't be that bad.:)
As long as we are adding games to the list.
Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance hit the streets on the 8th.
Tribunal expansion pack for Morrowind is out also.
Both are wonderful games.
You are forgetting the third parties. With things like this, commericial software companies like Adobe would love to use it to "register" your copy of Photoshop to your PC. Assuming this DRM system only works in Windows and not anything else. It reduces commerical software availability to Linux and the other players.
they gave you a library to call. When the article said no access, what he really means is no direct access, nor documentation. The Pro PS2 developer kit comes with 7 manuals, PS2 Linux comes with the first 6. The 7th one is the IOP stuff.
I don't know that I agree that the "wrong sort" of people are getting it. We are all newbies at one point or another. If the kit lets people who otherwise would've never touch Linux to learn/use, and maybe even enjoy Linux, then it's already worth it.
uh. well, my Sony HMD-A400 19 inch monitor doesn't work with the kit. I understand why sync on green is necessary, and Sony has done a very good job making sure we know this. However, it's a bit more than "anything after 95 works fine"
I was under the impression that EVD will have higher resolution compare to SVCD? Also, judging by the way the article was written, it sounds like they are not doing EVD on CDR, which will have the nice benefit of increased storage.
I don't think this will replace DVD format, however I hope this become the replacement for VCD format. VCD has always been nice in that, a lot of DVD players support it, plus you can make VCD yourself. No region lock out. If in the future, most DVD players also support this much like they support VCD playback, this will allow consumers to be able to make their own media that plays back in standard DVD players
Who will do well or not is still way too early to call.
There are still 3 major benchmarks left.
1:E3 for US.
2:Tokyo Game Show for Japan.
3:Then of course, the end of year Holiday Sales figure.
Till then, it's just all guesses. Not that it'd stop any of us.

the company you are speaking of is Dynamism. http://www.dynamism.com/zaurus/index.shtml
There has been some rumors of C700 coming to US, but nothing offical.
I wonder if now someone will write a tool to covert this ogg stream back into source code? :)
Star Wars Galaxy was announced for Xbox at this past E3. Official info here
True fantasy Live Online is one I'm looking forward to.

You only need the first 3 to install. Disc 1-3 are RPMs, though Disc 3 also has some SRPMS on it. Disk 4 and 5 are SRPMS, and the rest are docs.

It's not a joke, the game is already out in Japan
Uh, trading Shiva for Dumbo as my summoning in a Square RPG? No thanks. Back to XenoSaga for me :)
