      Except that nobody would be fooled by that, because homes don't use security lights in the window. Even a vehicle with a real alarm, doesn't have a security light. Those are always fake to pretend you have an alarm. Really though, they tell every thief out there "I don't have an alarm, and I'm not close enough to see you do anything". Because if you were there, you wouldn't be pretending you have an alarm, you'd turn it off.

    • @justanotheryoutubechannel
      @justanotheryoutubechannel 4 месяца назад +6

      I think it’s unlikely to be readable on a standard player, the discs are the same but the data on it might be in a different format and a normal player won’t understand the code for the gamewave software.
      What might happen is a Dreamcast like scenario where putting a disc in a standard player will just result in it reading a small area of DVD-compatible data in the centre which presents a message saying it’s only compatible with GameWave consoles.

      @casanovafunkenstein5090 4 месяца назад +1

      In fairness, the CDi is a quite different product.
      CDi was trying to take advantage of Philips' patent for the CD by creating a platform around the format that would extend the existing market for audio CDs and establish the CD as a home video format, with some additional software programs.
      This is taking a Dvd player and tacking on some cheap additional hardware in order to appeal to the kind of older non-gamers who would regularly play simple games on services like Teletext using their TV remote.
      I believe that their ultimate ambition was to encourage certain video distributers to include interactive extras that required one of these players to access, but the leap in technology as compared to a regular DvD player was far too small to justify it.
      The CDi was far more ambitious, so I can see another company seeing how that failed and thinking that the best way to avoid calamity would be to aim much lower. The CDi was really impressive when it came out, but it was a less impressive piece of hardware than the 3DO, which had really impressive software support by comparison due to the low licensing costs to produce software and people expected 3DO to wind up being cheaper in the long run due to the competition between licensees for the hardware specifications.
      Obviously, the PS1 came out and completely overshadowed the earlier systems built to use CD and because Sony shared the patent for CD with Philips they had a massive advantage when it came to the price point on release, especially since the PS1 dispensed with the home theatre ambitions of the CDi and 3DO and instead focused on the ability to render 3D graphics at a level of quality that had never been seen in the home.
      In a sense, if the PS1 hadn't come out the CDi would have been successful in seeding the idea of the CD as a gaming and multimedia format, as the 32bit era was going to be defined by CD as the storage medium. It's just that Sony didn't have to pay Philips to use it due to the patent being in both companies' names (amongst others) so Philips never got the royalty income they would have received otherwise and never really participated in the gaming space again.
      It's kind of like how Xbox 360 had an external HD-DvD drive accessory instead of a blu-ray drive. They didn't want to compete against Sony whilst also paying them money for every console they sold.

    • @meetoo594
      @meetoo594 4 месяца назад +1

      This is more like the nuon enabled dvd players that were dvd players with an extra chipset and controller ports that could play ps1(ish) quality games. A few manufacturers produced dvd players with the chipset but they didnt really market the game playing bit and there were only 5 games, one of which was region locked to s.korea and a single samsung player. The only decent game was a version of tempest 2000 that is actually better than the Atari jaguar version. Different machines had different controllers bundled and not all games worked with all controllers so the entire thing was botched and ill thought out really. There were also a grand total of 4 dvd movies that used nuon for interactive features like chapter preview.
      If you ever come across a dvd player with the nuon logo on it, snap it up as they are incredibly rare nowadays.

    My mom bought this for me in America - I know you clarified this had a US release too, but you still said it was a Canada-exclusive console, but given that it DID release in America, I don't think that's a valid statement
