Not a myth, hear me out.
If it cost Sony 300$ to produce a PSP now and it sells for 200$ now. In 2 years when the PSP start to sell really well it prob costs 70$ to make and they sell them for 100-120$. That way Sony can sell them at a loss in the beginning but if you count every system sold and divide it with the total production cost they will still make a profit.
Probably half the speed as a 6800 Ultra. Its called Geforce 6600 and only have 8 pipelines (16 pipelines on 6800)

Notice the numbers for Asia/Japan. Smallest market by far. Both America and Europe is bigger so that old argument is not valid any more. Also notice that Xbox is #2 in both Europe and America. So Xbox bombing i Japan/Asia was the best of bad things to happen to it.
"#1 WHO finds the bug. Is it the developers and community that discovers it in good faith, or is it a hacker and the rest of us find out after a billion dollars has been lost worldwide to the latest worm, virus, etc."
The problem is not who find out about it. The problem is that a big portion of the users dont upgrade. I mean the latest 4-5 big worms did not use any unknown exploits. It used old and well documented exploits, exploits that you could find example-code for. Copy-paste-compile!!
" Still, I feel safer using Firefox since malicious persons are much more unlikely to target any vulnerabilites."
So you not using Firefox becouse it is safer than IE, just less likely to be exploited. What if Firefox had 30% of the browsermarket?

No big difference between UK and EU. The big package cost 400Euro/280£. 400Euro=272£ so its 8£ more in the UK.

Yeah, and sucessful movies have made it to the comics for a long time, whats your point?
Only if you combine all the Gameboy (GB, GBA, GB Color) If you combine PS and PS2 it is bigger.
