Comcast and EA "Video Game Cable"
Comcast and EA are in talks about streaming video games, via cable service using Xfinity X1 cable service.
Comcast is said to stream a selection of EA's games including the "Madden" series and "Plants Vs. Zombies" through a X1 cable box system.
If this deal goes through, EA would get access to around 20 million Comcast customers in the USA.
It is widely known that Nintendo Wii U, Sony PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are trying to take over more aspects of your living room including Netflix, Social Networking and Strong Online gaming support making these game consoles into not only consoles, but full entertainment centers.
This new video game streaming service will start some harsh competition in the home video game market
THE FOLLOWING IS MY OPINION...
If the streaming through cable box happens, and all video games are released this way in the future, it could potentially damage the home gaming market just as home video game destroyed arcades.
Who would want to but a Nintendo Wii U, Xbox One or a Sony PlayStation 4, when you can download the games without leaving the house.
whereas, who would want to go to the arcade, when you can buy them all and play them at home.
Will home gaming consoles feel the same fate that they induced on arcades?
Is this another nail in the coffin for the video game market?
Only the future will tell.

The Search for E.T. --- The New Mexico Dig
Over the years, there has been talk about digging the Alamogordo, New Mexico landfill to find the infamous E.T. Atari 2600 game, released in 1982.
In the year 1983, all of the North American video game industry was crashing and Atari had to get rid of the large amount of inventory they had, so, they brought the unsold games to the landfill, crushed them and buried, never to see the light of day again.
That is until April 26, 2014. A dig took place and found many different games (Including E.T.), accessories and even consoles.
This dig is historically significant because it is a reminder of the infamous North American video Game Crash of 1983.
