The Franchise

Saw the news on a few different sites today. Quite a blow for Nokia if all you need is a phone with Symbian OS on it! The screen captures look pretty good. This must irk people who bought the system I would think.

Well for a system that was DOA anyway, this will just help make sure the Undertaker shows up sooner then later to deal with the remains.

I can't say I know what a SX1 is, but big deal. All the games on all the major consoles have already been "hacked"

You can't play all the games on all other phones just yet.
Here is the list of what works

Siemens SX1 plays:
Sonic
Tomb Raider
Puyo Pop
Pandemonium
Tony Hawk

Nokia 6600 plays:
Pandemonium
Puyo Pop
Sonic
Tomb Raider
Tony Hawk
(Puzzle Bubble fails)

Nokia 3650 plays:
Sonic
Puyo Pop
(everything else fails due to insufficient RAM)

You mean someone actually owns an N-gage to be able to hack into it? strange.

They have been hacked so that you can play copied games on the console. This still encourages people to buy the console, if only use it to play illegal games.

In this instance, because the games are playable on other, cheaper phones, there is no reason to spend money on an N-gage. Furthermore, the games are now online which means that game sales will go down as well. Also, if game publishers wanted to publish games in the future on these phones, the sales could take a hit if people have already downloaded them onto their phones. There is a huge snowball effect going on here.
