"While Sony is NeoGeo, first choice for the gaming snobs. "
Problem is NeoGeo's machines were worth every penny and arcade perfect..
remember NeoGeo only started selling consoles because of demand.... Their whole business model was around renting systems until customers demanded buying them.
sorry Western Europe... I vaguely remember Scotland being the only country not to be...... and although I knew
I'd be interested in seeing your figures to back up your claims regarding money from taxation, but I assume after all that is why you replied here AC.:)
"If the Celts that are around today are the same ones that were around to get the crap beaten out of them a thousand years ago, then guess what, the Romans are fine we just call them Italians now"
Scotland was one of the few if not the only country in Europe to never actually be taken over by the Romans... so much so the Romans built *Hadrian's* Wall to keep us out rather than in.. we lost yet we won. Or did we win and win? I hear it was quite fun pillaging England.
The English never actually fully took over Scotland either and were booted out of the country -- that war we won... then we married into the English royal family and 'lost'
I think both of you have compelling points but in Scotlands case we still have some very real Scots and Gallic speakers in our country and that would improve to 'Welsh standards' if the current 'English' schooling system didn't demand they taught us fricking English and French.
If you want to blame anyone for breeding the Celt out the Scottish it would be the English not the Romans - but no more than Corporate America has done for the world.
The way things are going in this country I can see the SNP (Scottish National Party) winning the due election and Scotland will be independent again within a few years... whether we'll have the same success as Ireland as an independent country will remain to be seen. I wonder if England will give us some of the money back they *stole* from our oil bearing years before selling the assets off to America.
although.... sadly they might sell a bazillion consoles but if the games dont get back ported off the unreal 3 engine we could be in for some disappointment (not that I'm a big fan of lots of FPS games but thats another story)
lack of good 3rd party games hit the N64 hard (Goldeneye being one of the few exceptions) lack of good 3rd party games hit the GC slightly less but became so bad Dixons in the UK killed the GC off way before its time.
Given that I believe? Microsoft helped fund in one way or another the UT3 engine for the 360 (think exclusive first release) and rare is also now owned by Microsoft...
Is MS untangling a web to catch out Nintendo in the available games dept?
The one glimpse of hope for the big N is that square is no longer exclusive to Sony, I'm not a huge FF fan either but its about time the series returned home.
Sadly the Wii (and I'm waiting on mine arriving on weds) will not survive on warioware clones alone.
I never said apple would allow it:) just that Mickey apparently said it:
"Michael Dell would like to license Mac OS X and ship it with future PC products, the Dell founder and chairman has revealed.
It's not likely to happen any time soon, of course - Apple CEO Steve Jobs has already said it's not something he wants to do for now - but according to name-dropping Fortune online columnist David Kirkpatrick, Dell would jump at the chance if offered.
"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," Dell apparently wrote in an email."
Funny how times change? is Apples time now?
I do not think Microsoft has given them a better chance before.
Mickey dell 6 months or so ago has already said he would LOVE to sell some of his machines preloaded with OSX..
on the flip side of this argument, Apple has tried this licensing method before to 5 - 6 different computer manufacturers and nearly put itself into bankruptcy... I don't remember the details to be honest but this isn't the first time Apple has licensed its OS. I think it was before Jobs came back.
Also note that BeOS was licensed out to white box x86 not long before Be inc went under too... notice a pattern forming here?
I'm not sticking up for jobs here by any means... I have a G4 cube appliance and a mbp c2d - the rest of my machines are AMD and I would LOVE to run OS X (with updates) on those systems officially.
is there a vnc server for OS4? hehe any chance you could give me a temp login for a look?
I'd love a new amiga but I already have an aging PPC apple cube doing my server tasks, why would I want to buy another old PPC machine as a new system?:-|

I had to phone apple sales in france because I wanted to check where my mbp was... I cant remember the last time I had such bad service, that was at least till I got transfered over to after sales in Ireland and had a wonderful irish lassie tell me the script.
Sadly however it still doesn't justify that the mbp I ordered and would take 3 days to ship.. was still in China and they wouldn't know where it was until it hit British soil and collected with the other items I ordered with it.
I didnt find out about the two week lead time until after I gave them my credit card details.. all that for a slightly faster hard disk ?:-\
imagine an updated online version of Space Hulk ? add a little of the trading from eve, the perspective of the old SH games and the gameplay of Halflife and the game would rock!
looks very very good too!! had a quick peek and I'm astounded not only by the mag but the amount of good looking playable games I'd never heard of before!

sounds like vista...
Good potential but bad implementation ?
Lynx and jaguar both fit in that category

ok - then what is?
haha thanks but I was only really asking in jest
I'm pretty sure I'd buy one if it had something like these specs:
