I pre-ordered the 360 Rapture Edition of Bioshock 2 (get it tommorow) and bought the PC version online...My Dante's inferno still hasn't arrived and I just found an email in my inbox telling me it'll be in on Thursday...I could have bought it off the shelf last thursday.

I kind of know how you feel in a way. I am not the most excited about this game. I enjoyed the first game for it's atmosphere + story, but as far as gameplay goes...vita chaimber killed the game for me.

I turned the Vita Chambers off in the first one, or reloaded it when I died. Same result. I am sorta excited for the game. Conviction is the game that has my attention though.

It's not quite the same thing though, without VIta Chambers, you are forced to be cautious and use skill and actually are penalised on death.

The Sega Neptune was basically a two-in-one game system (Genesis/32X), planned for release in 1995. Unfortunately, by the time a working protoype was ready, the Sega Saturn took the spotlight.
QUOTE
Sega felt that consumers would not be interested in the Sega Neptune, so the project was scrapped. Of the two prototypes that were made, neither actually functioned, but were just empty cases. The proposed retail price for the unit was US$200

Basically a portable PC, NanoGear is what the GP2X should’ve been. It allows users to create their own games with the included tools and sports built-in networking.
Pretty high tech handheld that looks like it never got off the drawing board

I thought they actually produced some Neptunes, but they just never sold them. I thought I read that in a magazine a few years back.
"We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet, we haven't learned to walk the earth as brothers and sisters!"
"Are you threatening me? Are you threatening me... OK, no, no... I just wanted to be clear that you were threatening me."
I just feel like I specifically remember one of my magazines saying some were around, but the price tags on the ones they actually produced were huge.

The Neptune was released though wasn't it and same with the CDX Arche?
I also always wanted a Nomad but don't really need one anymore seeing as I have a few handhelds that can play genesis emulated ... GP2X is a fave of mine because it also has a full res TV out
i saw plenty about the neptune in magazines back in the day, but i believe they were never released. I don't think that it was like, a big secret project or anything.
I think I remember reading about it in magazines at the same time the 32x was still fairly new and with the neptune, saturn, pc fx and playstation in the same issue. it was enough to make my head explode.
What I really wanted was a Sega Nomad. I could never find one.
I got one of those off ebay a couple years ago. Almost mint. It even had the Toys R Us reciept. It is one of my most treasured systems. Like Scott Hall would say...it is toooo sweeeeet!
About 2 years ago a local Zellers (like a poor mans walmart here in Canada) had a brand new Nomad on the shelf for $299. It was obviously old stock, I returned several times over a couple of months and the price finally dropped to $98, about a month later it was $16 so I bought it. Pretty cool system expect it basically eats batteries, you can get about 90 mins of gaming if you're lucky. I also picked up a few Genesis games for $1 each, Vector Man, Comic Zone, Eternal Champions, Ecco, Megaman, and a few others I can't really remember. It was $30 well spent.
Yeah, I remember hearing about how bad it is on batteries.
It also just uses a genesis power adapter as well. I know that doesn't work on the bus, but works just fine for the living room or bedroom. I just like it because it is practically a genesis with a screen. You can hook it up to the tv and hook a second player controller into it. It is really cool.
