You know theres AMD ads in Outrun 2, AMD now owns ATI. So i'm sure their going to have something similar to what Nivdia does with the "How its meant to be played" shit.

If it was just Sega, then I'd say it's for a new Arcade board, but considering EA is also in on it, it makes no sense, EA is out for money, and there's not much money in the Arcades for a U.S. developer. Is it possible the deals are for different things entirely?

Not even a firmware update could bring it up to properly support all features of 10 without a framerate or compatability issue. Consoles are left in the dust on thsi one. Vista seems to be the platform of choice, but knowing nVidia, theyll opt in for something new, because nVidia always likes kicking ATi in the Teeth for something. Theyve got something up their sleeve. Also, with Blizzard apart of the deal, i can only imagine its pertinant for the new DiabloIII announcement, theyve been pussyfooting around the subject by providing easter eggs and crap like Runes oh so familiar to the Diablo universe within SC2 promotional shots. Or it could be WoW2 on the way, or hopefully, an optional graphics overhaul to WoW (thatd be sweet) The problem with the idea of the Xbox360, is that while it does use a custom designed ATi card, its only DX9.0c compatible if memory serves.

Which is why I said they were "wild theories and speculations" and I was happy to be "educated" on the matter. (Though prefer if not in such a hostile manner). The whole point of the post is that it's rumoured that Sega might be utilising DirectX 10.1 in some future games. So it has nothing to do with UAW.
