Communications system?

The devices seem to have a button on them also. I suggest a move to "Aperture Science Communication System", to augment the fact that they can be used to communicate both ways, not just as an announcement system. --Bramblepath 21:34, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

While I see what you mean, I'd rather stick to the name we are sure about. Klow 22:01, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't this page have the "conjectural title" tag on it? Shadgrimgrvy 07:23, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

While it is half true, it's enough to add it, yeah. Klow 12:31, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

My opinion

I don't think these two articles should be merged at all. They're two completely different things. The Announcement System is just a conjectural name for the Announcer, which is some sort of AI that handles certain parts of the Enrichment Center. The speaker system however is just a way for GLaDOS to speak to the player in some parts. It's basically just a voicebox, where as the Announcer is something else.

One is just a speaker, whereas the other is some kind of AI. I agree. Bramblepath 16:13, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Possible use in Portal (1) end song?

I think the screen and speaker may have been used for relay of GLaDOS's song/letter Still Alive to Chell's long-term relaxation chamber at the end of the game. I say this because in Portal 2 a monitor floating through space is used to show Want You Gone. If someone could look through the 2^nd game's files to see if the model is there, I'm curious. Thanks in advanced. -Alex B. 05:07, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
