History repeats itself in many ways most notibally now in the console world, Look at my chart to see what i mean:

Playstation = Can chip the playstation so the games are cheaper, still around today.

Sega Saturn = Lol, Waste of money COULD NOT CHIP THE THING, not around today ------------> Console Graveyard.


Nintendo 64 = Could not chip the thing to get cheap games, had Heavy game prices -------------> Console Graveyard.

Dreamcast = Could play *Copied* Games on it without been chippped, only went to graveyard cause of lack of support and killed off by the PS2

PS2 = Can chip the thing, has loads of games already, Massave audience like it or not and one of the tree next-gen consoles.

Xbox = Becoming increasingly popular, Games catolougue getting bigger, can now get it chipped for a mere 50.00. (Now Sold More Than Gamecube)

Gamecube = Cant chip it, Not alot of classic games so far.....Sold less than the x-box and is even cheaper.




The Fact been that most of the consoles that you can get chipped, end up in the Console Graveyard, Does this spell Disaster For Our Beloved Gamecube??

GcMaster - gets called a witless buffoon for his illogical and frankly nonsensical comments just like most imbecilic purveyors of stupidity.


You're right, history does seem to repeat itself doesn't it? An endless stream of thick skulled cretins who sit in the corner spewing random gibberish that stinks of inane babbling.

But you haven't, you've just said the only reason the PS1 was a success was because it could get chipped, you've offered no proof to these claims.

The £40 one.
Because I wouldn't want to cheat the people who made the game out of the money they deserve. And because the £3 would be unreliable and also illegal.
