On DVD-Audio (and, through similar arguments, SACD)

[mankiller]

Why? Why? Why?

DVD-Audio heralds the next generation of music, promising to obsolete CDs in a mere manner of years. Consumers want DVD-Audio. They need it. It's far superior to CD audio. This could be the next big thing

Louis, it's so good to see that you are using your lj.

Considering that I would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between good-quality MP3 and CD, I can't see DVD-Audio's potential for higher quality benefitting me at all. And I'm in total agreement with you about the stupidity of adding surround sound to music recorded for stereo-- it strikes me as the aural equivalent of colorizing a black-and-white film.

I prefer to receive my "ooh, gimme" moments for gaming peripherals, anyway. Want the Game Cube bongos.

Bah! Game cube bongos my tukkus. Play Station Portable comes out!

Thanks for the welcoming! Had to use the thing someday.

I already have a PSP, though. :) O Japan, sometimes you are too good to me.

I figured.

Yeah, but I don't have either in the states. And it's not just from lack of finances or interest (PSP and bongos, respectively). Personally, I hold responsible the entire nation of Japan and all its citizens. I don't honestly think they can do anything about it, nor if they could do I think they would (Why give the best stuff to foreigners first?). It makes me feel better though, and justifies some of my rage against fellow humans.

$250? For a portable game system? ARGH!!! I am trying to console myself by wishing for more Final Fantasy games on Gameboy Advanced (4 and 5, please!) and by pre-purchasing Splinter Cell 3: Chaos Theory to get a $9 magazine with demo for free. It looks and plays beyootiful. Plus I get a free magazine for a game I was going to buy anyway at the price offered.

A free magazine! Ohhhohoh, Zoidberg, you are becoming a crafty consumer. I'll take eight!
