Neo Geo is the REAL DEAL

[guyjin]

lessee.. even the largest neo geo cartridge can hold only about 87 megabytes. An HDTV Camera generates 227 megabytes of video data per second. So, for a 90 minute HD movie, you would need... 14,140 neo geo cartridges, and you would need to change them 2 and a half times per second...

the world simply isn't hardcore enough.

[Joe Redifer]

Ummm... excuse me?  Are you perhaps insinuating that maybe, just maybe the Neo Geo isn't the REAL DEAL?  How DARE you!

[guyjin]

I AM saying it's the real deal, but we just aren't awesome enough to use it.

An HDTV Camera generates 227 megabytes of video data per second.

i bet you mean "per minute"?

else those hdtv camera producing 1.23 terabytes for a 90min. movie.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-2

An HDTV camera generates a raw video stream of up to 233,280,000 bytes per second.

and clearly, any compression would not be 'the real deal', and thus unsuitable for NEO-GEO cartridges.

[Joe Redifer]

MPEG2 = ewwwwww.   Definitely a RAW DEAL.

With a 32GB memorystick pro duo on the horizon, I think the PSP is the REAL DEAL.  With the largest game around 3GB (2 discs) you could store no less than 10 games and probably closer to 40-60 non shrunk/ripped games on a single card + emulators and homebrew and other crap all in the palm of your hand, ohmy!

The PSP is the REAL DEAL.  It's better than the datapads in ST:tNG

No way. The PADD pwns the PSP.

No way. The PADD pwns the PSP.

I don't even think the PADD has the ability to play mp3s.

[Joe Redifer]

Why the fck would they need to play MP3s 400 years from now?  They have the god damn holodeck.  Once you have a holodeck you don't give a crap about no MP3s.

But what if you need tunes on the go?  Apple will fill that void with the iHolo.

[Joe Redifer]

You don't need to go anywhere when you have a god damn holodeck!

[MissaFX]

You don't need to go anywhere when you have a god damn holodeck!

Except when the holodeck tries to kill you, then you need to go anywhere else, post haste Taipan!

[Joe Redifer]

No, that's when you say "Computer, generate top-notch Holodeck technician!" and then you have that guy fix the Holodeck and it is back to doing your bidding again.

Damn you, Professor Moriarty!  Absolute best episodes, I say.
