Nobody here wants that crap anyway. I can’t decide which I despise more, Sony or Microsoft.
wow no new products for the market most likely to abuse them.
America is its own market it seems. What the rest of the world gets America does not many times.

For example:
US TV: Buy a run of the mill TV in America – NTSC 120vac 60hz Sorry cant take it with you to most parts of the world
Other country’s TV: Buy a run of the mill TV from other countries – Multi System NTSC – PAL 120/240vac 50/60hz Go on take it with you anywhere!
Cheers
