Yah, apple putting TV shows on their ITUNES network - bittorrent sharing tv shows all over the world I could never watch in the USA without it - Herb Greenberg talking today that NFLX are idiots predicting 50% a year growth for the next 6 years - perhaps VOD will finally get here in a big way. They have several VOD channels here now on brighthouse networks - I like offsite storage of my tivo type stuff rather than recording it myself. I have too many hard drives now - hehe.

A maze of twisty passages - more GLITZ and less STORY never appealed to me much on gaming - you think MSFT is figuring this out yet? I loved the baldurs gate series - good LONG stories that I could really get sucked into and BELIEVE i was there. DJ Microsoft Exec: Fiscal 2Q Rev Hit By Weak Xbox Shipments . By Chris Reiter Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), the world's largest software maker, said Thursday that revenues in the fiscal second quarter were hit by lower-than-expected shipments of the new Xbox 360 game console. In an interview with Dow Jones Newswires, Scott Di Valerio, Microsoft corporate vice president, said the Redmond, Wash., company shipped 1.5 million units of the new game console, which was less than expected. Despite the setback, he said the company still plans to sell between 4.5 million and 5 million of the new game console by the end of June. Microsoft expected to sell 2.75 million to 3 million Xbox consoles in the first 90 days. It made its North American debut on Nov. 22. The slow Xbox shipments, which was related to supply constraints rather than weak demand, was anticipated.
