Well then.

 

This is disheartening...

 

I'm one poor bastard

 

Meh, it probably won't be all that good anyway...

 

About the rent only is this a reliable source Srider?

Yes, it's set in stone that software will be rental only, at least for now.

 

I thought renting games was ilegal in Japan.

 

This is rental from the manufacturer, which I guess you can call lease. Regardless, this is not game rental from block busters.

 

I'm guessing that Sega is making it rental only to lower the cost of the initial investment. Better to stomach a low monthly subscription fee than a high up front cost, so that smaller arcades only have to purchase the kit to get VF5 up and running.

WTF, GForce6 series?

Damn AM2 is kicking the X360 and PS3 from here to kingdom come ON FUCKING BUDGET PC HARDWARE.

Hahahahahaha Next Gen OWNZORRRRRRRRRRRRRRD

 

Yeah, cheap ass kit compared to the insanely powerful PC's you need today to play PC games that don't even look nearly as good. Well, Vista is coming and DX10 will change that. Sega did an amazing job though with lindberg.

 

What is DX10?

 

DX10 = direct x 10

 

wow, a 6800GT card to run the lindberg, awesomeness. I can't wait to see DX10 in action, I've seen some early footage of it but I want more. Can't wait to see Vista either, not like I'm gonna get it anytime soon though.
