Slacker, re: announcement of prepackaged video games for Sony...

...as announced yesterday. I don't see why flash RAM is superior to a ROM module.

Even cheaper would be ROM cards like MMC that are now used to
package video games, maps and the like.

The only advantage would be the ability to save the game in progress without
having to purchase extra memory cards. As I understand it, once your reach
a certain level in a game you have to save it in order to return back to
that same level again when you shut off and restart the game. In that case
it would make sense to have the game and some empty space on flash RAM.

The press release mentions multimedia functions as well. Do most kids listen
to music while playing the games? (Similar to playing Wagner like the did in
Apocolypse Now?)
