May 1995, my P75 was $2000 from Gateway. I know what I payed since I have kept a running total of most of my hardware purchases over the years. On average my PCs have not cost more than $2000 for all the hardware. I have built 2 and bought 1, in the last 11 years. The last two where cutting edge, except for the Video cards.
Last I read was games were going to be under $100 for the PS3. You really think they won't raise prices for games that could cost 2 to 5 times the cost of games made for the last generation?
I have never eaten at an In-and-Out but I have at Culvers, I don't like there burgers all that well, Stake 'N Shake make a much better burger than Culvers.
Jag had two controller ports, and the team tap allow 8 players. Daisy chain was NeoGeo, I think. Alot of people didn't like the Jag controller but it was as bad as the Intellivision. I have owned both of the years.
The same thing could have been said when the N64 was released after SNES. The NES and SNES sold really well but it didn't help when Nintendo release the N64.
Oblivion has the same specs at Battlefield 2, and BF2 runs just fine on my computer. Oblivion runs about 2 fps, I had to patch it to get a good frame rate. I guess it time to update my graphics card on my computer.
True, but Id own the rights to Quake series, so all they did was farm the project to a smaller studio. If 3DRealms had played their card right they could have done the same for currect version of Duke.
You also forgot Sony, they are going to be including it their up and coming product, which should sell 100,000,000 or so, if it sells as good as their last one which was called the Playstation 2
ID started when the Supreme Court of the USA told the schools that they couldn't teach Creationism in the Public Schools. The fundies had to come up with a new name, so they could put it in 'Of Pandas and People', I believe. That way they can deny that ID is religion, when the Judge in Dover saw right through the scam. One other thing about 'Of Pandas and People' is they were dump to keep the first draft of the book which had Creationism (ID) and God (Creator) so you can is it not Science in anyway.
Some Rare game won't be making it, at least thats their current statement. The ones with Nintendo characters will most likely be available, but the other like Goldeneye won't be available.
The problem is Sony can't release the PS3 for $500, if other Blu-Ray players are going for $1000 or more. If they do, they are going to kill the format, and Sony will be the only producers of Blu-Ray drives and players. All the other companies are going to very mad about Sony undercutting they that much. I don't know what the price of the PS3 will be but I bet it will go for $50 to $100 more than other Blu-Ray players. The problem with the delay, may make players ever more expensive when the PS3 does roll out.
M.U.L.E. is still number one for my favorite games, I like it better than HL1 & 2, but those are good games too. I still can't beat 60K in M.U.L.E. against the computer players.
But we're talking about a Sony game system, so there's 2 things that we can be sure of:
- It's going to be replaced by the PlayStation 4 in about 3-4 years, and
- The servos in the optical drive are going to wear out by that time, just like on so many PS1s and PS2s... ah, the beauty of planned obsolescence
Sony said the live span of the PS3 will be double that of the PS2 and PS1, which make it 10 years before Sony wants to make a replacement, unless the changed that in they last few months. I do agree Sony make crappy optical drives for their consoles, my PS1, you have to flip to get a game to boot. I don't have a PS2, but I know a couple people who have replaced the PS2 because it died. I have console systems going all the way back to the 2600, and the only other flakey ones are the Intellivisions, all the other consoles work great.

Here a nice hi-res picture of Cydonia that was posted yesterday to Astronomy Picture of the Day website. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap060926.html

interesting.

I know people won't even eat there because of the chicken sandwich they got there.
The NES was the first to be sold at a loss, Nintendo got sued for dumping the NES in the States.
More like the NeoGeo, expansive unit and expansive games.

Unless your looking for water, your not going to find much on Pluto. Pluto and the rest out there are made of mostly water, and not rock.
That was Richard Dawson, he was also on Hogan's Heros.

2 Months? Try like about a year, when I read about it. It was going to be December 2005, not 2006._ list=20051005

The Atari 2600 had 4 ports on the console also, not exactly new to the N64. Even Analog sticks weren't new, ever play the Odyssey^2 system?

You mean just like the NES did in '85 or so. It brought back a dead industry.

Last I looked it was being released for the 360 and the PC.

Microsoft does produce game for the PC. I didn't think Sony made game in house, just thought 3 party publishers, unlike the other two.
