For how long people have been cashing in irl on ig items and such - I'm surprised no one put it forward sooner.

Sick as it is. Check out the articles on how the economy of ig things goes. It's pretty sick how much money is attached to a game going live that the host company never gets a hand on. (Sony's going out of their minds on that one.)

Good read though.

apple should be making there own video game system. Not only would it promote there OS more. They are very original with there own designs, imagine games. Only thing is most games are created thru MS formats, and it would force third party compaines like namco to create games in a unix format which would cost more and become a huge no no

ROFL I'm glad you brought that up.

The Apple Pipinn was the biggest flop before it even came out. It's been tried

They should make Apple Pie. That should be the name of their new system.

I really would like it if Apple ported OSX to x86. I'm embarassed to admit that the only thing keeping me tied to a Windows box is the games err game I play... (FFXI)
