Oy. It's going to be a sad, sad day when we have a MMORPG that has around 600 billboards for various products in the town square. We're probably close to that point anyways.
You have it backwards. The ads are there to make it cheaper for the user. Without ads, people would be required to pay the more expensive amount; people who want to save money can watch 2 ads or so a day (I think that's right, anyway) which are supposed to be related to your interests. I think. It's been a while since I've read about the Gizmondo on gamesindustry.biz. |

Wouldn't it be impossible for them to send you ads if you simply did not stick a SIM card in there? I mean, I'd rather use a mobile phone to text anyone any day... |

I thought it was only the cheap version who had ads. And the one without ads costs 100 US dollars more...
...and the games don't seem that impressing either. |

A rhythm action game called Johnny Whatever, where you stick it to the man via punk music rock outs.
Also, it has ports of SSX and other things, which look much like their console counterparts. |

So then...it is sort of like Internet Explorer then  I never liked N-Gage types of systems. I usualy don't play games with my phone, just...use it for a phone (that must be silly. No one uses the phone for that! |

Yeah, yeah.
I know it is the next N-Gage/Zodiac, but god damn. THIS THING IS COOL. Has anyone else seen the little brute? |
