Damn, and just when I thought it was safe to devote my loyalty to the N-GAGE. When will this format war end? WHEN?

You see kids it's all about the market. You don't get caught for fraud when inside the market. So the only problem was the fact we were outside the market.
Those nintendo guys embezzle all the time. But they're inside the market. We just need to be inside the market like them, you see. So if you could give some cash to us there won't be any problems. Because the market our ally and a strong ally it is. Market. |

If it could somehow be compatible with DS games and also run PSPs discs it MIGHT have a slender chance of success. Especially if it doubled as a Wii remote and in-car Sat Nav.
And worked with iTunes. Anyone seriously investing in this should immediately kill themsleves so they can go on the 2008 Darwin list. |

The best thing I can say about the Gizmondo is it had a really nice texture to its plastic casing. Sort of like moleskin.
On the downside it had the worst D-pad buttons I've ever witnessed in my entire life. There were probably some other things bad about it too. No developer of standing is going to want to get involved in this platform after its bizarre history. I guess it will create a source of revenue for small indies, which is no bad thing. Though could any of them feel confident that they would get paid in the end? Clearly I have some issues over Gizmondo that I need to address with a therapist :) |

Dumbest business decision of 2008.
I'm really not sure whether to laugh or cry. What the fuck is wrong with these people? |

The story of the original Gizmondo could have been written by William Gibson:

Oh come on! This can simply not be real. Can anyone be stupid enough to invest in this? Is there some tax scam I'm simply not seeing. Is it like the movie industry where you get tax brakes for investing in movies whether they make any money or not?
I simply refuse to believe any company is this stupid. Seriously! |

I worked on a Giz product a long time ago. It was a really fun project to work on, but that was in spite of the platform itself. Following the news about the Swedish mafia connections, whilst developing a title for the platform, made for interesting water cooler discussions. Ah, I see. You meant did I actually buy a unit myself.... Hell no! :) |
