I was e-mailing him about video formats, it seems that he was originally intending on only including NTSC support, now, thanks to a little poke in the ribs from me (as well as others I'm sure) he may well include PAL support. He seemed to respond to all the points I raised in every e-mail and asked me questions in return, which is very rare, usually when I e-mail someone about some computer related subject they give a very general and abstract reply. He seems like a really commited man, lets hope that the XGS shows this when it is realeased. Andy M.
