HP says "Arrrrr"

**The Central Scrutinizer** · 03-18-2005,06:26 PM

Hewlett Packard (HP) has just released a DVD writer that allows you to flip the
disc (special media) and, using the laser of the dvd writer, burn professionally
looking grey-scale graphics for the face of your CD and DVD-R's.

So, what does this have to do with gaming? Well, not too much except for the
fact that the top image from this page of HP's website shows a man and his son
enjoying some title on their Playstation 2! Now, based on the fact that the only
way a PS2 can play a "burned" disc is having it "chipped", my question is "is HP advocating piracy now"?

The disc is being put into a pc...

but nice PS2 controllers. I thought the same thing.

I think its the case of the Kid is playing a movie and is keeping on rewinding to teh same place over and over and the father is getting pissed off so he grabs teh 2nd controller and is just push buttons but doesn't realizing that his joystick does nothing.

but honestly, ya, the SCRIBE DISCS look cool, i seem then. but its all DVD+R crap.

there on the floor, and their is a couch behind them..not saying its not possible, but definately not likely they are playing with computer controllers

also look at the expressions, and the buttons being used, its not a dvd movie :-p
