	Curmudgeon Gamer: History of Console Prices (or: $500 ain't the worst...)
		Lets face it, the majority of consoles are bought by parents/relatives for their kids and which console they will buy is going to be the deciding factor.
		NES is considered the second coming of consoles after the crash of 1983 and benefitted a lot by being the only console on the market for several years, as well as having a large set of games made in Japan, where the crash never really happened.
		Consoles keep themselves affordable by selling the boxes at a loss and recouping the losses by adding fees to the cartridges or DVDs (by law, I believe, this can be no less than manufacturing cost but they can still sell it at no profit).

	Videogame console viruses: a new cause of concern for users?
		These three Trojans, which have recently appeared, are extremely dangerous as their attacks delete critical files, and can even irreversibly render the console unusable in the case of PSP.
		However, when users install them they overwrite certain areas of firmware (software embedded in certain hardware) on the Nintendo DS console and the G6, XGFlash, SuperCard and GBAMP devices (which allow cartridges to be recorded with software to run on the console).
		However, if people use the consoles according to the manufacturers' instructions, the chances of infection are almost zero.

	Yet Another Videogame Console news from 1UP.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Visions of the Phantom Game Console circle in my head while reading Kotaku's note about an announcement release for Evo: Phase One, a "media entertainment console" from Envizions Computer Entertainment that reportedly turns a computer, media center and PC gaming into a single machine.
		The console certainly won't be too shabby when it comes to powering games with its bundled Sapphire RADEON HDMI X1600 featuring 128MB DDR3 memory, an 80GB hard drive and a single wireless controller, but marketing it as a console would probably be an ill-fated move considering its anticipated retail price of $679.99.
		This is getting stupid, they are trying to blur the lines of PC and consoles to confuse parents and f everyone up.
