Man, I've been gone longer than I thought.

Yes, if a company introduces a new, or better technology, it will be adopted. I don't think I ever said it wouldn't. I fully expected the technology to become standard by next gen.



Also, has anyone commented on how Nintendo has registered the following domains?

And I believe there are a few more, as well. I realize domains are cheap, and this could just be Nintendo not wanting anyone else to register them...But obviously this is a sign of something to come.

Also, am I the only one who was excited about the controller having a speaker? Very cool. Especially combined with WiiConnect24. It could essentially be used for VoIP (assuming the rumors of an included mic are true)...I think calling a friends Wii (or even just buzzing them or something) is pretty cool. Not to mention hearing a fishing rod unwind while casting in LoZ:TP.


Oh, and I tried to contribute Squeek. But I just gotta point out to dummyman that what he was saying was not opinion. But I'll leave it at that.
