HAMMERSMITH... heard of it?

Used to work in Hammersmith, one upon a time. To be fair it can hardly be called the prettiest part of London either!

Working for anyone interesting?

Sounds good.

One day I hope to work for a company that offers "benefits". Sounds like an interesting concept to me rather than the "turn up, do your job, and be thankful you're getting fricking paid" approach.

Sigh.

Time to get drunk.

any serious company gives some kind of benefit...

 

[Geeforcer]

Two control-obsessed companies with completely different vision for consoles are going into joint development? History channel would need to update it's "Ten greatest man-made disasters of all time" documentary.

 

[London Geezer]

without considering the money MS wasted to buy Rare.... (it is rare isnt it? dont really follow nintendo stuff... talking the guys who made Perfect Dark)

 

[Blade]

MS wants it more than Nintendo; you guys know how damned stubborn Nintendo is.

It is feasible, too. Just not that much.

I said this awhile ago. Everyone said i was crazy. But now with nintendo and ms both going to ati . It just looks more and more likely. IF this does happen look to see a pure game console from nintendo and then the living room hub from ms. That way at launch they can have a 200$ system and say a 400$ system on sale.

 

[Josiah]

ATI has made statements that they are independantly making two seperate chips for both MS and Nintendo, with different requirements and timetables. that makes me think this is unlikely (besides, why would Nintendo and MS want to share profits on a console? there's no advantage unless MS outright acquires Nintendo, which isn't likely)
