M: You are talking about the ASSP thing and yes you remembered correctly <g>. However I think the ASSP thing really applies to somewhat simpler things like DVD players and digital cameras. Not sure if the same logic applies to the 3 in 1 chip as seen in that spec. And like I said I really doubt if we will be seeing any new players in the video game console market. Therefore who would buy such a chip? More than likely people would do the set top box or DVD but not want the video game thing (?). It is the big 3 in the video game console arena and it will be only those 3 for some years... until the Web takes over (as E has correctly forecasted <g>). Therefore if LSI does have a design incorporating the 3 gadgets in 1 and no customers my feeling is that they won't get any customers and they have wasted their money and time developing it! Then again maybe the idea is to build a versatile STB and you may therefore be absolutely right - here is Motorola's Blackbird chip: techweb.com Also - for fun - DVD in cars: techweb.com Shane.
