You guys are acting like I said it was fact or something, hell I didn't even say it was probable. I merely said it would be pretty sweet, if you'd like to argue that point then by all means go ahead. Now that I think of it, it would be pretty damn cool if the Xbox 360 could make me a sandwich too, but I don't expect to see it either. When it comes to price I don't think 20 bucks is an issue here. There have been talks of the system (fully loaded) costing up to $500. If I'm paying that much for a system is 20 bucks going to make a difference? Nope. I can't see anybody saying "I would pay 500 for a xbox, but its just way over priced at 520."

JEsus fucking Christ.

No, we're not making it out as though you said it was fact, we're making it out as though WE said it was fucking unfeasible.

God Damn it. Why can't people on the net read simplistic fucking English? Does your brain have a PSP's battery life or something?

Okay, ignoring your retardation for one split second, let's pretend that all they do is create a wifi link like a DS or PSP has. You'd need something that didn't interfere with a wifi router. You'd need to apply a second set of connections: One for the regular connections, one piece of hardware dedicated to a link. Now it would have to be more powerful than a DS/PSP connection is, not interfere with other products, and be built into a reasonably sized unit. Not only improbable, but impractical and still stupid, and would be more than another fucking 20 dollars. I know, when you pop a tiny price tag on it, it seems so reasonable, but you have to factor in time and effort to make an inobtrusive link-up with limited appeal, strong functionality, and unlikely to cause issues.

The DS and PSP both accomplish this by proprietary software which is limited in scope. And since game linking is such a common feature on portables, it's more desirable.

Now take that, jump your ass back on the short bus, and fuck off.
