What is it with the Japanese and robots?

Seriously, why are the Japanese so obsessed with robots? Whenever there's a new robot toy that has no real practical purpose whatsoever, it's usually the Japanese who come up with it. Why? Do they think they can eventually build a super-robot to keep Godzilla from whopping their asses every time he comes around?
But is the Average Joe pr0n Hound going to know this? Or care? Or is he just going to figure that he can throw all his chicken-lovin' flicks on regular CD's and save mre cash?
While DVD burners have become much faster and much less expensive than they were a few years ago, they've still got a few rough edges to work out. DVD burners are still too slow and too expensive. And the multiple DVD blank formats don't help much, either.
If DVD burner manufacturers don't get their shit together and bring their products up to snuff, they'll never take off.
One major factor that contributes to a game's quality is based on how easy it is to mod. A lot of times, game companies do anything possible to keep people from tampering with the game, as if the coders believed that their creation should not be tarnished by some snot-nosed 15 year old punk who wants to put flying nuns into his WWII FPS. If people can't mod the game that easily, then its shelf life will be drastically decreased. Don't believe me? Look at Total Annihilation; that game is what, five, six year old, and people are still cranking out new maps, units, mods, etc. for it.
woo-hoo!
Seriously, though. I think this is a great opportinuty to clear up a lot of the ambiguities surrounding Palladium, DRM, etc. Or it could be a chance for MS to make themselves look like asses again. Who knows what will happen?
