Me and my dad had a Lynx back then. We spent many hours "linking" them up and playing Warbirds (World War 1 biplane "sim" of sorts).
Good times.....
That was pretty much the only game I played on it.
LOL..Used to own that very same Nintendo "Game and Watch" Juggling handheld too and a few others back in the day.
I dont think its overpriced.I mean wasnt the PSP $249.00 6 years ago when it launched?
If the market dictates that the 3DS is too expensive, it will be $199.00 by the end of the year and sell better.
Istanbull has a point.How old was the author of this? They appear more like somthing you would see in the 1960's/1970's (or older..Jeesh..that PSP would be right at home in the world of Bioshock).
In the 80's, your giant entertainment center that held all your electronics was likely (fake) wood and maybe your Dodge Caravan had some down the side..but thats about it.

As for the other comments off of MNicholas post...I'll just agree to disagree with you.
The problem is alot of parents are ignorant of video games and blindly pick up whatever title little Johnny asks for. Cant blaim them in a way.I mean Toys R Us for example wont sell R rated DVDs but, you can buy video games with violence,language, and nudity in them (RDR for example has it all).
I do feel its wrong that certain countries like Australia/Germany gimp or outright ban games.If your an adult, you should be able to buy/play it.
I picked up Dead Rising 2 a few wee...
I dont care for the premise of the new Dead Space 2 commerical at all. It clearly targets people who are likely too young to buy a M rated game.
An adult could give a rats behind if good ole' mom likes it or not.
That being said,its a a day one purchase for me!
With the right crowd around,he could have taken out more people with a car.Perhaps we should ban those too?
A (small) percentage of people are just tweaked beyond help, and no little laws or bans will stop them if they are resourceful/determined enough.
I dont see anything wrong with direct in person social interaction. I enjoy it myself actually.
However, whats wrong with getting off work,not bothering to freshen up,wearing a T shirt from a concert you saw in 98', getting a beer from the fridge,and socializing in a virtual enviorment too?
Its actually more interactive than Facebook and EVERYBODY uses that.
Others may like it as a "escape" from reality. Not everyone is a pretty boy/girl or can afford ...
Just showing that prototypes of just about anything are far more expensive than their future mass produced cousins.
30k for a Kinect Prototype is cheap in the grand scheme of things.
Its funny.I USE a Mach3 razor. Gillette mailed me one around 98'-99' (I didnt request it either). Been loyally buying blades for it ever since.
Ehh..30k wouldnt even cover the bodywork on a concept/prototype car.
Even a subcompact like a Ford Focus would easily cost millions in total development costs.
The NES R.O.B doesnt really deserve to be there IMO.Nintendo only used it as a way to get retailers to stock a video game console after the early 80's videogame crash.With the robot included,the NES was pitched to retailers like Toys R us as a "toy".
Thats "X rated"? Music videos by Madonna 25 years ago were more "X rated" than that!
Wow 4 exclusives huh? Just two comments on that:
1) Unless one of those 4 is Twisted Metal,I could care less.
2) What does 4 exclusives for another console have to do with the topic on hand?
The games alot of fun IMO. The only odd thing ive noticed is some of the "easier" songs I have more trouble with than the harder ones. But for the most part,they do get harder as you go up.
The navigation interface is the best of the 4 Kinect games we have by far.
Not really because the game requires you to jump every now and then or stoop over and pat your knees to call a cat to you....Stuff like that.My daughter has been playing it and loves it.Its not a game that will "wear you out" like Dance Central can/will though.
She has already done alot of different things in the game and is more indepth than I thought it would be.Its not just petting a cat for hours.
Yeah..I know what you mean. We got my daughter Kinect for Xmas with several games and decided to give Dance Central a try last night.All three of us laughed and played it for about 2 and a half hours.
My wife is one of those that plays Majong or Solitare "if shes bored enough", but absolutely loves her experience with Kinect so far. Weird seeing her talk about any video game.
MS is in a great position right now IMO. Kinect has given MS a toehold in the Wii/casual market, and "hardcore" games will come. I mean how many games are announced at E3 (which is in June) and still come out the same year?
Ive always loved this guys reviews.You watch enough of them,and you get the feel of whats crap and what isnt (in his opinion)...Even if at first glance you would swear he hates about every game ever made.
Hes edgy and different. If you ever have an hour to kill,Its a great time waster to look through his archive of reviews.
"If someone goes and pays $15,000 for a car. Keeps it for a year or two and decides to trade it in and the dealer offers them $6,500 for it... Did they get ripped off?"
Maybe not if someone put 70k miles on it in the last 2 years,hit every pothole made,needs tires,is loaded with door dings,and has a mystery fluid leak.
But hey, lets just blaim the dealer instead ;)
But your point is valid, no one is holding a gun to your head forcing y...
