The press was saying that it was expensive, but it was a huge hit. It's the same thing with the PlayStation Portable from last year. The Game Boy Advance is a same handheld gaming machine, and it costs less than 10 thousand yen ($91). On the other hand, our PSP had cost 25,000 yen ($229). But people lined up overnight to buy it, and it sold out on the day of its launch. It all depends on whether people want it. Of course, I'm confident that the PS3 is a product that people will definitely want.
Funny, I remember Slashdot covered this and the PSP didn't sell out on opening night.
I recall playing NBA Jam on the Genesis. My brother and I were pretty good, but the computer would always seem to be able to keep up no matter what. Near the end of the 4th quarter, it was a tie game so we held the ball until there was like one second left, shot, then hit a two pointer to give us a 94-92 lead. Then, with the remaining time, the computer inbounds, heaves a full court three pointer and swishes to win the game. Now, it wouldn't have been so bad if the computer hadn't done the same thing at the end of first half AND the last three games we played.
Well, in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, there was something called the stone of agony that would make the rumble pak vibrate if you were walking near a secret.
The NYTimes has a story about a noise canceling box for nosy cubilicle neighbors.
I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, I told bill that if Sandra is going to listen to her headphones while she's filing then I should be able to listen to the radio while I'm collating so I don't see why I should have to turn down the radio because I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven.
This is the last straw, I'm going to burn down the building!
Does any one here think we would be talking backwards compatability, DVD, HD on all consoles if Sony hadn't said it all first? Its like all of us have amnesia & can't remember what games & controllers were like before the PSX.
Backwards compatability was around before PS2 (Gameboys were, several consoles were too, but most required adapters.) The PSX controllers used ideas from their Nintendo predecessors (first controller was an inferior SNES clone, second took the analog stick from N64.)
No offense intended, I love my cube but no way it would be even close to its current state without SONY, let alone its new sibling. Microsoft clearly has infuence inasmuch as Sony did then.
I don't get the comparison you're drawing here. The cube is neither backward compatible (unless you count the gamecube adapter), has a DVD player, nor a hard drive.

Sigh. New York State won't let us shoot off consumer fireworks legally. It's one of those times I wish I lived in Alabama or some place down south.
'Nuff Said.
I recited 1,000,000 digits, except the guy who was keeping count fell asleep!

It's on personalized google's slashdot feature right now.
How the little black box knew the Spurs would (probably) win the NBA Finals
Yeah, sure, the XBox is little. So are blue whales, Hummer H2's and Boeing 747's.

He doesn't want indie stores to go away because otherwise no one will sell old school games and non mainstream games like Katamari Damacy.
At least someone gets the reference to Frequency.
Maybe these auroras will allow us to communicate with Martians in the future? I hope they tell me who wins the World Series.
How many Red Hat jokes are going to be made now?
Wonder when google is going to hire the guys that made it?
Yawn...
Thank you mirrordot.
I couldn't resist.
Been there, done that.
How else will ET phone home then?
'Nuff said.
Unless you want a tinfoil gas mask or water purifier.
The Most Powerful Labor Union in the World: Linux?
Great, now Linux geeks are going to be called communists AGAIN.
