Wikipedia:
To obtain a rating for a game, a publisher sends the ESRB videotaped footage of the most graphic and extreme content found in the game. The publisher also fills out a questionnaire describing the game's content and pays a fee based on the game's development cost:[7]
$800 fee for development costs under USD $250k
$4,000 fee for development costs over $250k

So where is $2500?

Nokia S60 3rd + GPS (built in / bluetooth) + Nokia Sports tracker Beta (free) = Far more precise tracking, no calibration, google maps integration, live update to friends or everyone, with music. No voice feedback. But overall far more advantages. Live google maps update for friends is just awesome.

Ditched Nike+iPod =DDDD

with tablet convertible form factor and build in 3D HD projector as an option. =D

Well I seriously thought that all Xbox's come with HD-DVD drive, but turns out not after my housemate bought one. And this has changed my opinion about both formats. Firstly HD-DVD pushed by mircosoft and as consumer can trust directx for delivering great hd graphics, on the other hand I see Sony that ownes music and film production and mere fact that they already snitched BR drive in PS3 into many homes makes it a slight favourite.

But then i remember the MP3 and AAC and (recetnly) OGG format. Although one came first and was good went pushed out, the other came later and argue to be better now. As for consumers I am secretly proud to re-encode everything in my music library into AAC, some of friends are incredibly proud of ATRAC performance. In the end of the day I have codecs installed like any other pc user which allows us to call all avi and mp3 although it could be mkv/x264 and AAC.

My point is both formats will stay, war will continue, producing fashion/trend effects for both formats forcing the content providers to tolerate both of them. Or alternatively content providers will target specific groups with that type of player leaving a few "odd" consumer groups with "wrong" player out of the game.

I'm in favour of internetTV/download options (we all love paypal vs our credit card in onlineshops) as long as Windows Media Player 11 will finaly be released for mac, or content providers start using some other DRM/steaming solutions.

Please bless everything will triple format capability for all hardware and software (eg wine+.Net+Cocoa+X11/gtk/KDE on all thee platforms) =D
