Because the technology can be incorporated in games. It's almost like a middleware program for acid-trip graphic effects.

Plus the graphics whore in me likes the way it looks.

And I have to say, my crappy Nuon DVD player with the VLM-2 is pretty dam cool for what it is.

*shrug* perhaps his ideas are just too far-out for me to understand them.

It's much better than any winamp plug-in.
Its interactivity is leagues ahead of any plug-in, and the graphics aren't a half-second behind the audio, either.

A few references in there too.

The best part of that article:

As an additional reduction in the barrier to entry, hard drive use isn't needed at all. Microsoft will be shooting for getting two games on a 64MB memory card. John David, lead program manager for Live Arcade, concedes "We do have a few games that are larger than 32MB because they're all supporting HD and they're doing large soundtracks and such, but the target is two per card."

Let me see if I have this straight; those 'casual' gamers who buy the core system can fit a whopping two games, which they have to pay $5-$10 apiece for, on their $40 memory card, and all they need to do is delete all of their 360 saves?
Innovative!

The new VLM is pretty much the sole reason why I'm going to get a 360. Unless Mr. Minter decides to make a game for it. <drool>

Weirdo.

So any experience the great Mzo hasn't had should be considered minor?

I've heard few statements as ignorant as that.
