sounded very good till the part about copyprotection, though that would depend on how it is implimented. |

[/quote]That's another reason to stick with PC games. I'll bet X-Box won't suffer from that issue, as its largely PC based. |

I remember being at a computer show when the mini disc player came out (about 1992 ?), & seeing one hooked up to a PC for use as storage then. Never did understand why Sony did not make a better push for using it as removable storage. |

I love my minidisc- best archival format around as the discs last forever and you can abuse them no end as they are in their own case and only cost about a buck a piece. I highly doubt that they will be backwards-compatable with regards to the new device as a one gig density on a platter that size almost certainly implies a blue laser or some such voodoo tech. |
