I'll wait a week before giving the game a try, lets hope no maniac tries to force people into a deathgame first, not a day one gamer anyway.

208 lucky people get to play as Kirito! It's called SAO: The Beginning and over 100,000 applicants showed interest in it.

Wow! This is great! A real breakthrough in the VR industry! Although I'm still baffled as to how does IBM fund all this? Aren't they just a computer consultation firm?

For the most part as far as I was aware, but I think they offer other services as well. Plus they are always advertising on t.v. and stuff how they are creating new things and stuff(hardware, software etc), and then is that "Watson" artificial intelligence thing.
