 JL> That's the main problem with the N64 right now, no mass storage.  The
 JL> CD- ROM is the best storage platform right now, and it will soon be
 JL> replaced by the DVD.  I have read that Nintendo's next system will be
 JL> cartridge based as well.  I don't understand how they think they can
 JL> compete with the Playstation 2 since it will have a DVD drive.  There
 JL> is no way they can compare a cartridge with only a few megabytes to a
 JL> 8.5 Gb DVD. 
But Sony's next machine is going to use/is using (They already have working 
prototypes) Minidsc..  Which is practically the same szie storage as CD 
(xcept MD's can be Compressed)
BTW..  The l8st DVD disks all hold at least 17gig of data not 8.5..
