Well if it wasn't slashdotted...

I as well found the gamecube controller very functional, even without too many buttons you can hit a combo of X+A or Y+A very easily. And I do agree the SNES controller was very comfortable.

So far it's been running very well. I would presume that they should be able to make something that will protect their own operating system after all they did code it.

Keep in mind that we Canadians are taxed to death and pay taxes on almost everything just for this to work.

All hail our Data Center Overlords!!

All Hail our amphibious elephant dung eating overlords.

I would give it preference if it did the job just as well or better as it would justify the costs of having to purchase liscense's for software.

It would be nice to see that happen on the East Coast. I'm currently in Halifax. there's a small Linux base here. I know of a Debian group that meets downtown every so often. Even my job I could see a migration to Linux work. Everything we use has an open source alternative, everything right down the the Cisco softphones (not sure if there's an *nix version). I would embrace the change, if I didn't casually game on Windows I'd likely migrate myself.

Just like the original article it does state that it's not Circuit City it's Systemax. I've personally never dealt with Circuit City as I'm in Canada. the only thing close I guess was "The Source by Curcuit City" which basically was Radio Shack prior to that. Not being able to return unused printer cartridges doesn't surprise me much considering even Walmart won't take them back either. The other major brands HP, Compaq that kind of surprises me because you couldn't just take that fancy laptop back to HP or Compaq and get a refund.

Heck for email web im etc... I found that express gate built into my motherboard works fine. Any flavor of Linux would suit this perfectly. Even Moblin would work well. It certainly runs like a charm on my Toshiba Netbook.

I can't see this model working well. There's only a handful of games that are "decent" on the PSP. There might be some good titles trickling out this year. But this would likely work for some when the newer revision of the PSP comes out that does not have the UMD Drive.
