New Format?

I keep seeing things on the web mentioning a NEO+G format and was wondering if anyone knows anything about it.

here is a quote i found about this.

NEO+G is another “revolutionary format” of a karaoke disc. NEO+G has the same sound quality and the graphics as a CD+G, but has more advanced functions in much the same way a DVD does, such as onscreen tracklist menus etc etc. NEO+G has the added benefits of being able to store hundreds of tracks per disc. The main disadvantage that we can see, is that the format has been exclusively developed by RSQ to work only with RSQ players. At Images, we feel that this is not ideal. You never know when you may need to use your discs on another player for some reason. We feel that customers are always better off when their options are constantly open.

In other words, its the same type of BS as CAVS super cdg format. I imagine it is just as (il)legal too. Just watch neo+g format discs will be popping up all over ebay so the undercutters can buy large collections for next to nothing again just like they did with cavs until ebay caught on to them.

Thanks Guys. I had noticed that the only players with it were RSQ, but it didn't click that it would be like CAVS.

My prediction is these both will go the way of the TI-99 and Radio Shack proprietary computers. If you try to keep it all to yourself...you will lose.
