Some may remember that NBC has had legal threats and more against YouTube because so much of what put youTube on the map was old SNL shows copied by and uploaded from their members.<BR/><BR/>There was a lot of commentary they were making it by stealing.<BR/><BR/>Now, though, given their success, NBC has teamed up with YouTube and will launch their own channel on the YT site.<BR/><BR/>Story here.<BR/><BR/>NBC, YouTube Create New Content-Sharing Alliance<BR/><BR/>http://www.adweek.com/aw/search/article_display.jsp?schema=vnu1&vnu_content_id=1002728954&WebLogicSession=RLLbyj76dfGCpzn4x4o2qFn2iLmJONilPbUGGWvChJsk6zF474jd|-4456483829026088649/168887092/6/7005/7005/7002/7002/7005/-1Kim Klaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974379483937724677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-1152672995415555772006-07-11T21:56:00.000-05:002006-07-11T21:56:00.000-05:00I've probably bought 50 or so games for both the P...I've probably bought 50 or so games for both the PS2 and the GameCube over the past year, and of those, only a few were bought first hand. For some of us, the used game market is the only way we can afford to get the titles we want (even if we have to wait a little longer.)<BR/><BR/>What surprises me is that Sony would even hint about this after all the PR mess they've had lately. People have crapped a gold brick at the $600 price tag for the PS3, especially in comparison to the cheaper XBox 360 and Nintendo Wii (yes, that's Wii as in "whee") so I don't think buyers need any more incentive to go with another system. Thus far, all that the PS3 has really going for it is its all-inclusive reverse compatibility, so that gamers who don't wish to chuck their 50-some-odd PS2 games might choose to go with the PS3.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, many buyers won't do follow-ups like we bloggers do, and they'll remember this article, and even if it's not true, it will keep them from purchasing the unit (should they come into some sort of inheritance and be able to afford it.)J.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01890955694635838420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-1152665550718274632006-07-11T19:52:00.000-05:002006-07-11T19:52:00.000-05:00Holy crap, that's quite a scoop, I hadn't heard ab...Holy crap, that's quite a scoop, I hadn't heard about that and i'm quite a gamer. It's an insane thing to do, what would it do to the rental market? I don't think they can possibly do this and survive, there are a hell of a lot of gamers that can't affor the $60 a game their charging now. I for one never buy a game until i've got real world reports that it's a must have. You dont' buy many $50 duds before you learn that lesson about hype.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
