The Console
Doogee:
Well, on a totally unusual thing im going to agree with foot (fart, feta whatever his name is).
I never liked nintendo till the GC cos i like the games the controllor and that "optical thing" they use as the media. I always hated cartridges and althou i loved sega back in the old MageDrive(Genesis) times i think cartridges are now old useless and yes pretty much obselete (minus the GameBoy). Think about it, how much can you fit on a cartridge compared to the "optical thing" and still want the console to be the same size? Yay check it out its the game cube, yup thats right 1metre cubed! Im actually borrowing a GC from my older half brother and i cant fight it, im totally addicted to Pikmin .
BUT!!!!
I got a PSX in 97 and ive always loved it. and ive got a bit of a collection of games.
I got a ps2 in chrismas 2000 and that just blew my mind.
i still have a soft spot for SEGA cos i was introduced to gaming on the MegaDrive (yes i know im young yadda yadda yadda) actually does anyone know of a decent magadrive emulator for linux?? lol ive been missing the RF connector on my mega drive for years. id love to have a game of super hangon.

Que? You'd prefer cartridges (N64 ones had max 256mb memory) over thie "optical thing" (1.5 GB). Sure they coulda just used regular old DVD, but they have seemingly stopped emulator programmers in thier tracks so far.
Either way, cartridges may have no load time and durability, they still have way less space and are way more expensive.
BTW. is whole call a company by some "offensive" name thing driving anyone else mad? Nan Tendo. $ony. M$. It always reminds me of this

They can actually hold more then an optical if you have lots of Address space, they should get like 64bit addressing because that would be like 4tb of possible space.
