EA Shutting Down Video Game Servers Prematurely 341

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday January 06, 2010 @07:42AM from the sixty-dollar-yearly-fee dept.

Think NASCAR. Sure, it might not be worth it to Google alone, but imagine a laptop "sponsored" by 15-20 vendors, each with their logo emblazoned on the case or the home screen.

From a marketing standpoint this is indeed a much better demonstration of the technology, especially considering nVidia's target audience of nerds.
