Only a rumor so far but I think it would be good if they did.
Sierra/Vivendi seem to have no money.

I would prefer not to find out.

Under Microsoft's guide, Nascar Racing 2003 would require 6 CD's for installation, support WMA sound only, and contain Product Activation just to***us off.

And you would have to have a Passport account to log on and race online.

I know you're joking, but it's retarded that the xbox versions of
their games have more features and fit on one disc.

I wish publishers would just start using DVD's like the consoles have
been for years now.  Also, having more software written with Geforce 4
optimizations would be nice too.  It's sad that my year and a half old
PC has more power than my Xbox but there isn't a single game that
properly takes advantage of it either in terms of graphics/sound or
overall content.  It's sort of disgusting to fire up my $200 console
and slip even a ***game in and find that it looks better, sounds
better, and has several more hours of gameplay than most anything I've
bought for my PC.

Imagine what will happen of no one buys them.  I see MS as doing more harm
than good over a lot of owners.
