I remember reading a study about how bluetooth was only cents on the dollar to create and they were price gauging on it. I am buying my 5 year old son a Wii, and he already has a PS2 (which we got used at WalFART for $129 a couple years ago.) Apparently they are selling Wii w/o packs for $250. I still ave an Atari and Sega Genesis...yikes! I go to Slackers when I get a chance to get over to O'Fallon/ Fairview to get games...cheaper that way. I pretty much keep on kids games for now...my son loves Sonic the Hedgehog...lol. Gaming has come quite a way and as a web and graphic designer, I know from talking with a few friends that gaming is definitely always in progression. ----------- Comics, I usually only read manga (big InuYasha Fan...I own the InuYasha-fanfiction.com website), but my boyfriend has a bunch of comic books he has collected through the years... it is pretty impressive. My father still has some old ones from the 60s that he got as a kid! For your series issue, in comparison, DragonBall is a case example of them prolonging it and losing ts effectiveness. Even when they brought it to television it lost a lot of that original spark. InuYasha (as I have read translations, has not), however I know from following up, they are not sure if they want to continue the television anime beyond the already 167 episodes and 4 movies. Truthfully, since I have seen all 167, I think continuing it for time would be great. Perhaps the comic industry can hook up more with the book selling industry more and offer a section filled with enough comics...it would entice more people to come. My sister and I buy tons of manga all the time....and I pick up the manga magazines like Shojobeat and now Yen. It is true...you would have to know the stuff. Most of the other manga outside InuYasha, I picked up from the store, read the cover, flipped a couple pages and then purchased because I thought it might be a good addition to my collection. I know quite a few that are selling comics from their stores through their own online sites. I have designed for 2 private clients and they are power sellers on ebay. (found site from NanoWrimo)
