I, for one, am not going to discount this guys story. I mean, who knows what is going to be possible in a couple of hundred years. Anyone else who can make 350 million out of 800 bucks please stand up!:)
This show needs to be canned.. It has been overdone and should have been gone long ago. Can we please get some quality programming on Fox? They seem to be floundering since X-Files went down the tubes...

I think the decreasing sales for the Sims Online experience is indicative (I hope) of the demise of the 'lets-play-together-on-the-web' crap that has come out in the past year or so. I personally play computer/console games to get away from life, which means getting away from my fellow man. I personally would rather play against the computer in any game, as if you play against a fellow human, the chances are your human counterpart is either alot better or alot worse at the selected game than you are. This makes for either a frustrating/boring experience. The computer, on the other hand, uses complex programming to make sure that the computer is just slightly better than you (if you select normal play), which makes me, at least, push myself that much harder to win.
I think this might be the answer to the aging baby boomer problem that we are going to be increasingly faced with in the next few years. Think about it-- we generation-x'ers are not going to be able to visit all of our aging parents/friends/aunts/uncles etc every day. If these robots are dependable and provide a little extra company to these people, I think the robot will be worth every penny of the 1 million yen...;)
