i think they would be wise to make the upgrade as simple as possible, like the n64's expansion pack. it's unfortunate that it won't release with the drive [and it seems unfortunate that they'll be making money off of a forced upgrade, since i'm sure they already figured that out]. i think any sort of difficult upgrade would be ridiculously stupid, on their part, and i can't even forsee microsoft making that mistake.
Coffeeshops are certainly nice places to hang out. I can see how the addition of free internet would easily cause problems in such an environment. I, personally, enjoy buying a $3.00 drink and sitting for two hours. I can't see how they can possibly make much revenue with such customer habits. Hopefully this works out for them
i think people also forget that artificial gravity on a spacecraft is easy because of simple physics. for those of you who've seen the newer planet of the apes, think of that ship. when you have a cylinder rotating, it feels as if there is a force pulling you away from the center, assuming that you rotate with the body. this means that, if the spaceship was hollow and big enough to stand at least one human up 2.5 times [[headroom+height]x2] there would be an artificial force that the human would have to fight to move around. simple simulated gravity. thanks physics!
