NEWS X-BOX BLOCK OUT [JPN]

   Late afternoon update According to our suppliers in Japan, the Japanese X-Box console DOES NOT boot USA X-Box software titles. NCS cannot confirm or deny this information for ourselves until Monday morning. The Japanese X-Box will allow you to select the DVD region of your console (Region 1 or 2) for viewing of USA movies. Irony, no?

   Kawaii (read: sickeningly sweet, precocious, etc) representations of women tennis pros such as Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, Monica Seles, Serena Williams, and 16 other ladies smack the ball and attempt to own the court in this action-packed tennis simulation.

   Sony paints it black. Nyko goes with yellow. As Kemco enters the memory card market, the color of choice is red. Shaped exactly like Sony's card, Kemco adds a rectangular black "thumb grip" on the lower portion of the memory card for improved tactility. Similar to any other Playstation 2 memory card, Sony's Magic Gate technology is licensed so the card can communicate with the PS2. Click here for a couple of photos of the memory card.
