The icons are completely different on the released model.

"How do you get into the car?"
"Press the button with the lines on it."
"Which one, there's two."
"The horizontal lines."
"The squiggly ones?"
"Yeah."
"Oh shit, the car's on fire, how do I get out?"
"Mash the 9-dots-but--"
"Forget it, I'm dead."

Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand. Made in Sweden on foreign shores, to terrorize y'alls gaming stores.
And whatever investor shall be found, the dumbass soul, the gaming clown, must stand and face the screen from hell:

If you buy it Duracell.

The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of extreme failure, and Greedy CEOs from Tyger's Tomb are closing in to seal your doom.
And, though, fight to stay alive, you have nowhere else to go.

For no mere mortal can resist the evil of the Gizmondo!

I'm just not sure where the value comes from. Everyone hating your product? Your ridiculous name? Those stupid squigglebuttons™?

It's like Coke releasing New Coke 2 all of a sudden. Why would anyone think this is a good idea?

]]> <![CDATA[Gizmondo to Rise From The Dead In Winter 2008, Founder Says]]> Look, I don't know if this is bullshit or not, but those buttons are so close to air, fire, water, and earth from "The Fifth Element" that they really just need to commit the whole way and go with those symbols.

The thing can go to hell from there, I don't care.

]]> <![CDATA[Gizmondo to Rise From The Dead In Winter 2008, Founder Says]]> Are you guys at Gizmodo considering legal action? Their name and text font looks awfully close to yours....a lot closer than that engadget magenta scandal.

]]> <![CDATA[Gizmondo to Rise From The Dead In Winter 2008, Founder Says]]> I'm excited in a not very excited kind of way.

]]> <![CDATA[Gizmondo to Rise From The Dead In Winter 2008, Founder Says]]> @rudeadly:
Well duh. They're the same company. Do you think it's just a coincidence that they both have similar sounding names? Gizmodo Gizmondo....
Engadget goes around opening super stores all over Malaysia, and Gizmodo goes marketing electronics under their alter ego GizmoNdo....it's just their way of competing with Engadget.

Slash3

]]> <![CDATA[Gizmondo to Rise From The Dead In Winter 2008, Founder Says]]> Who's gonna buy this. Not even people who were hopeful for the last one as they never got their features like GPS satnav functions as the company did an ultimate fail before it was possible. Also the PSP/DS/IPhone has to much of a headstart. Who ever invests in a company with such a poor track record with the odds against them should go to the looney bin.

I ain't touching that thing. Ever.

]]> <![CDATA[Gizmondo to Rise From The Dead In Winter 2008, Founder Says]]> What about the games? Who could forget aboout such classics such as Agaju: The Sacred Path of Treasure, Furious Phil, Johnny Whatever, and Momma, Can I Mow the Lawn?

]]> <![CDATA[Gizmondo to Rise From The Dead In Winter 2008, Founder Says]]> Awww... well, while I would certainly concur that the quality of the site has been dropping, I wouldn't quite say it was *dead*.

However if Chen is coming out with any more of these fighting words thinks must really be worse than I thought.
