    not much yet but they expect much more to arrive shortly
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    Nothing wrong with making a buck, but too many pple who claim to be "hippies" not realizing what and where they are buying from.

    You Americans get it lucky, by the time that stuff over to the UK you can add an extra $250 USD to the price.

    UK sucks big time! Especially with the PS3.

    For example the Toshiba HD-E1 HD DVD Player costs £349.99 over here which is ~ $687 USD. Its ~£100 more expensive here.

    I was aware that they always make up for lost revenue on consoles through the software side.

    I just never realized how much they actually lose. PS3 losses are total insanity.
