Is the rear-view psp supposed to be on your lap, on the couch next to you, on top the tv, or on a helmet hanging 2 feet away from your eyes?

This is something large corporations (and the governments they sponsor) have wanted for a long time: the end of sharing. The dream is to have a complete "ownership society"... where no one takes public transportation, because everyone buys their own cars and gas. Where no one lives in a community, because everyone takes care of their needs and wants on an individual basis. Where no one is allowed to share or give or resell or backup their property, because everyone gets everything straight from the corporations.

I hope the PS3, and Blu-Ray, fail miserably.

But..but...then that'll leave the way clear for Microsoft, who want this just as much as any other megacorporation out there, and what's more, already HAVE it with Windows!

Our only hopy is for the "three stooges" syndrome to come into effect and have Sony and Microsoft keep each other off-focus and off-balance enough that Nintendo can survive and thrive on a large scale. If it becomes a one-on-one then Nintendo probably won't be able to compete at all against these behemoths!

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Wow, this is look more and more like the begining of the 64/32 bit era, except Nintedo's and Sony's roles are reversed.

I would have to say that Gamestop will probally not go for it since they make a lot of money off their game resales. And it will also reduce Sony's shelf share in Gamestores, that is if it is true.
Stupidity is lost on my. Then again I'm almost always lost.
