Details, details! I know is more than that but isn't it easier to say what i said?noobface said:
I think that has to be Nintendo's first attempt at producing a CD - based console.
This decision was made back when the cartridge - based SNES was Nintendo's flagship console, and it was so popular and up-to-date that it wouldn't make sense to replace it just yet. The solution: Make a CD adapter for the SNES!
The only problem was that Nintendo didn't have any experience with CD - based technology, so they needed someone else to develop the device. The task was offered to Sony.
Sony had, at this time, never made any attempt to enter the videogame market in any way. The SNES CD adapter was a whole new challenge for them, and they eagerly went to work. However, just when the device was almost ready for release, Nintendo decided - for reasons unknown - to cancel the order and have Philips develop an adapter instead.
Philips accepted the deal, and hurriedly produced a clunky, noisy, ugly and absurdly overpriced piece of crap that proved violently unpopular among gamers and developers alike. Nintendo ended up losing untold amounts of money in one of the biggest videogame-related failures since the E.T. game for the Atari 2600.
Meanwhile, the people at Sony were stuck with their unwanted machine. Rather that discarding it and wasting all the time they'd spent, Sony decided to keep working on the project until it was able to function WITHOUT a SNES attatched.
You all see where this is going, right?
Yeah.
After a while, Sony released the completed device on the market under the catchy name,
"PlayStation".

Actually I thought you were just being ironic considering the fact he runs the country yet wasn't elected to do so...ScaredCougar said:

No, I recall hearing that there was a Y2K bug, but in only effected computers that were REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY old, were talking 386 and older, old. The epic fail was how that Y2K thing was blown out of proportion. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY out of proportion.farmerboy219 said:
