Yeah, but it's not like North America is going to get any of the good games. And I bet the Hypergrafx will only be two 128 bit chips - not a true 256 bit system. GamePro is going to have a field day.

This downturn of the world's economy is affecting everyone and it must really suck if you've had this job for a while and it's the only thing you've got if you have to pay your bills. :(

Hope those guys find a way through this.
