G-pinions

Though there are plenty of comedic lowlights from the already infamously lame "Allard Chat", my favorite moment happened as such:

"Q: will the core system come with a memory card? if not, how can u save games?
J Allard: i think it is really important to emphasize especially for the folks in this chat room that we did not design the core system around you guys. similar to the shuffle, the boxter, the 4:3 tv, the 1mpix camera, we designed the core system as a way to get folks to come into the family at a cheaper prices and decide if an how they scale the system. the great thing about our approach unlike these examples is that the core owner can upgrade the system and match the capabilities of the premium system when the time is right for them."

So, basically, no one except the hardest of hardcore gamers like to save their games. That is, unless he was dodging the question...it's hard to tell, what with all the idiocy being thrown around like so much wedding rice. If he is comparing not being able to select your songs on an iPod shuffle or take professional-level photos with a 1-megapixel camera to saving your progress in a video game - and it would seem that way - well, apparently he is not familiar with either of those devices, to say the least. It's actually more comparable to only being able to listen to thirty seconds of a song at a time/not having any way to save the pictures that you take, respectively. A kick in the balls for you Allard, a kick in the balls.
