DM>  Why can't they make a console that allows for local calls
DM>  beetween friends to play games? That would be the best!
Ever heard of the X-Band?  It's a modem for your SNES and Genesis consoles
what it did is just what you are describing.
DM>  But, Noooo it's all got to be on the NET. Wouldn't it be
DM>  cool if I could like (just an example) call you up and
DM>  just play!
DM>  Better that then to wait on the net until I can find any
DM>  one willing to play the same game with me. For the update
DM>  part, why can't you just buy a controller pack with update
DM>  data on it?
DM>  It's possible. It doesn't have to be in the form of the
DM>  controller paks. You could use an adapter and plug the
DM>  thing in.!
