A Para first!!!

[Paradoxxx]

With consoles getting hardware that is competing with the PCs I propose the following idea.

Sony/Xbox/nintendo create an expansion card that would create the PC into the respective console. Allow players to buy the already available converters from 'PS2/Xbox' to USB and have them play it on their PC.

If it should ever become available, make sure and say that 'Para mentioned that'

Its times like these that makes me wish i had done engineering.

interesting idea, but should it ever be done i believe they will prefer to use it on the games of the currently out-going generation, they may not want to hinder their own console sales.

i had one little idea some time ago for the NDS, i was thinking that you should have been able to buy a gyrscope type device and attach it to the GBA game port, this would have allowed people to realise how much more engrossing a gameplay experience. but i see the new warioware has a gyroscope built in, so maybe they may explore this further in the future, it may also compensate somewhat for the lack of an analog stick in 3D gaming.

well the cost of a ps2 is 150, they can sell the card for 100US or maybe even the same 150. That should illiminate the 'sales' issue.

I remember we had a thread concerning 'pcs being replaced' however it seems that things are doing quite the opposite and console are becoming closer to pcs than anything... Interesting.
