Looks like Nintendo is moving away from the kiddy appearence like they had with the GameCube. I have to say that the blur between gaming consoles and computers haven't been this bad since the 8bit era. Looks like every console is going to have USB 2.0 connections. I just hope that Nintendo hasn't jump whole heartly into the Home Theater consept like the other two, for the simple reason they'd screw it up. Hell just look at that controller.

That controller IS the revolution of gaming! I love it (and don't care if you hate me for it!) All Nintendo consoles are great, but there's always something wrong with the controller for me, unlike Sony consoles. This is the r0z0r5!!!!!1one!

That chick is hot...

Oh yeah! The system. It looks kinda bleh. Looks like it will take up a lot of space with that weird design. But as long as it performs, who cares. It didn't stop the butt-ugly PS2.

hmmm im slowly being swayed towards considering a revolution as a contender....

Nintendo is correcting some of their mistakes, but is it enough to satisfy me?

lets wait and see...... :wink:

Wow, is that really the size difference?! I stand corrected. It looked much bigger from the pics.

Black always looks better on new tech. Like on iPod. At least I think it does.

Ya, the Rev only slighty wider and slightly longer than a standard DVD (The actual disk, not a case). Prolly about half an inch on eather side.

And Apple never released a G5 laptop, why?!

Now I have to say that the Revolution is tiny, just like the GameCube was next to the Xbox and PS2 (big). Not bad looking, and to respond to Extreme_Jesus; The revolution is lacking HD capablity. I guess two bad things are not bad.

Uh no it's the size of three dvd cases stacked on top of each other :roll: it's one of the first things they talked about when they released the first pics of it...
