    OK,

    We all know how powerful the N64 is: REALLY POWERFUL! But what about the M2? The last confirmed news is that they were planning on incorporating
    DVD technology into the later verions of the M2. Well....???? What are
    the specs? The M2 was said to be out this Fall, so why isn't there any
    news? Last I heard, the M2 is slightly superior to the Nintendo 64 (Which
    is entirely based on their target specs, not actual specs). Well, I don't know about you, but I'm wondering if the M2 is going to live up to those specs--AND deliver at the price they wanted?

    If you want my opinion, I don't think they're going to do it. Sure, they might get the machine as powerful as they wanted it to be, but at $250-300 bucks? I doubt it. One thing we know is that the Big M is the biggest
    and richest consumer electronic company in the world. They're so good,
    they can even package up dog shit and make a profit. We all saw how Sony dominated Sega with their 100 million Playstation release plan. Right
    now, they're ahead and staying ahead. Will this same event happen when
    the multi Billion dollar Maturishita (how the hell do you spell it?)
    delivers the M2? Can Nintendo handle the heat of this new foe? I think
    they can. Nintendo basically ownes the entire industry? When people hear the name "Nintendo," they know it stands for "Quality." I think this Fall will be very, VERY interesting. If I'm going to bet on a winner, I'd
    invest on Nintendo. Even if the M2 ends up running circles around the N64
    in terms of computing power, Nintendo wears "BIG SHIT KICKERSS."
    Everything we've seen so far are just the preliminaries. This Fall, we're going to see the Main Event.

    M2 supposed to be the successor to the Panasonic 3D0, but it was cancelled.

    Last I heard, DVD wasn't supposed to be realeased for the PC until this fall. The price would then be around $400 to $500. The companies that got together decided to release the DVD in 4 parts. The first part that we will see this fall will be able to hold 4.7 Gigabytes. By 1998 this capacity should have expanded to a recordable 18 Gigabyte capacity. In my opinion, it sounds as if DVD is too new to implement as soon as the fall. In fact I wouldn't expect
    to hear anything about it being incorporated in a console for at least a year or two. Look how long CD's were out on the computer before they finally
    made it to a console. And while I wait for that, I think the Bulky drive will
    satisfy me for the time being.

    400 to 500 dollars for DVD drive? Wow, time really has changed. Now you could get one less than 20 bucks nowadays.

    Go back further about 20 years and you'll see 5.25" floppy-drives for
    about the same enormous price.

    It even made the cover of Edge magazine. I think there were about five screenshots from various games that were ever published.
