 -> My question to you is ARE YOU ON DRUGS? N64 Rules. i like it and no
 -> one is gonna change my opinion on that. PSX can't even STAND UP to
 -> N64. They use CD'S. Look at nintendo cartradge.
 JN> Let's...
 JN> Ok the CD can store more than 10 times the information than a
 JN> cartridge. They cost a buck to manufacture for each cd and can be made
 JN> by the 100's in one day. Cartridges are a pain in the ass to work with,
 JN> no red book, not as good sound as you can do on a cd, cost 30 bucks a
 JN> cartridge to manufacture and one cartridge takes a week to make...so
 JN> yes. Look at the cartridge. 
 JN> Jn
 actually carts cost $33 to make, and since nintendo makes them, they can
 require minimum orders (which they do). the big N's minimum order is
 100,000, which means to produce a game alone costs $3,300,000... this 
 cost scares off a lot of 3rd parties that want to try making N64 games.
... Security, confine Ensign Nelson to the brig.
