That's very true - one of the rationalizations I had for getting a PS2 back in the day was that I didn't have a DVD player and it would cover that base, too.

And if you think about it, if you're going to be dropping $500 on a game system, an extra $100 doesn't seem like so much to get the top-of-the-line version. In a comparative sense, at least.

But still... damn.

Spore looks like another time-killer. I loved the idea of creatures you create and develop "infecting" the game world of everyone else.
