Grand Turismo 4

At work last week i was talking to Ben about GT4. I had not yet played it, but he was telling me about all the geeky features. Ben's opinion is that the game goes far beyond all other games in exploring the fetish of cars. That being said, i was laughing about the "photo mode" where you can actually take pictures of the cars you aquire. Now i cracked the game open and played it all weekend long. About 20 minutes ago i finally looked into the photo studio and started to screw around. Its no laughing matter. Its honestly a small 3D photo program about the level of Bryce. But its to cars as Bryce is to mountains. So i take a couple shots and play around with the controls. Then i hit save and scroll through the options. My jaw just about dropped when i saw Destination: USB Storage Device. I hadn't even thought about it. Suddenly the PS2 could be hooked to a USB stick? So i just happen to have a few things lying around, so i started pluggin things in. First off I tried the SONY DSC-P10 digital camera. I was hoping that it would mount as a USB storage device and the PS2 would be able to use my 512MB stick inside. No Luck. So then I went for the CHEESY James Bond Spy Camera. And to my suprise, as soon as i plugged it in, the camera displayed Hd which in really old school LED display speak means... Hard Drive. So i hit save on the PS2 and get the shot saved!!! So now i can actually blog my TVR Cerbera Speed 12 in Times Square. Oh, how geeky!

now the only question is.... did they really need to slap a copyright on my virtual photograph of my virtual car, in a virtual Times Square? And are they going to hunt me down and sue me for publishing it online for all the world to see?
