No Thanks

More and more info continues to trickle out of the GDC conferences. The more I hear about next generation game consoles the less interested I become. So far for the next Xbox: no next-gen optical drive, no 512MB of RAM, and this little gem...

"Xbox 2 will also feature a central "Marketplace" resource where user and developer-made bonus game content is sold for sums as little as 99 cents, doing away with the clunky Downloadable Content facility currently used by Xbox Live titles, as well as "Gamer Cards", which sound like expanded Xbox Live profiles storing game preferences and other personal information input by the user to help people track down like-minded opponents, today's release declares."

Paying for user created content? Zuh? Blogger is doing a spectactular job of butchering block quotes and just about everything else so 'FIN' for now.
