Console news from DeathofU

Nintendo Revolution new name GO. Hope it doesn't mean GO Broke.

First Nes emulator working on Xbox 360( but no sound) but games run smooth.

The last podcast I discussed one of the advantages of a console is your making games for same hardware. Windows Vista and Direct3D10 compatible cards will make this a reality on the PC. Your only limit will be how much memory you have on board. Can you imagine UT2008 with 2-4x more textures than UT2007. It is coming and the balance of gaming may be leaning to the Lord Natas side (PC Gaming).
Lord Natas if this happens you may be right leaning toward the PC side.
