So anyone else pick this up? I got it yesterday and, having worked my way up the Corleone family to the rank of soldier, I'm loving it. There have been some awesome nods to the movie too. For instance...
(in the rare case nobody has seen the movie yet)
You're underling character is responsible for many of the little tasks that need done. So far, I've had to sneak into the room of the movie producer to place the horses head in his bed. I had to whack Paulie. He heard me cock the gun so he ran, so I had to chase him down to kill him. I had to go to Louie's Restaurant and place the gun behind the toilet for Michael to use, the drive him to the docks (amidst Tattaglia gunfire) so that he could depart for Sicily. I also accompanied Luca to the bar to cover him (though oddly, you can do nothing but watch him be choked.

The voice acting is also excellent, and the attention to detail to the movie is stunning. Many scenes consist of dialogue that is exactly verbatim as in the movie.
It is done. This is a project I've heard of some time ago, and it has been accomplished. Some brain cells have been succesfully fused with a computer chip. SOME mind you, not a whole brain dynamically using the chip :D, but it is certainly the first step. Oddly enough, brain cells seem to be somewhat attracted to computer chips and attempt to fuse with the right chip like they would to other neurons.
This is interesting. The obvious question, to me, is if this also applies to playing PS1 and PS2 games on the system. I have often considered buying a mod chip, but the main issue there has always been concern over how long before games with security features in them are designed to not work any more, and then the chip is only good for games made before that technology. As such, I've only done the physical mods, like on the SNES and N64, the ones that only use cartridge shape as a protection scheme.
