:P :slices virtual arm off: that was pretty gross!

Anyway, I agree, Ben's design kicks this ones ass AND you don't have to keep Ben's plugged in [I think?].
I can't cut the portable junk, I am not worthy!!!

And, as I waited for the PS3 I cracked a whole year before it came out and got a Xbox 360, it was the wiser choice.

Thanks. It still had a nicer screen though, and to me Ben's seems to look like what a portable wii should look like, even more so than this official one.

I don't think its "official" as in Nintendo's name brand, but its being manufactured if thats what you mean.

Well... ye I guess, the term seems to get more blurry as to what it actually means in this context, remember the Treamcast?

treamcast was definitely not official infact i think sega might have filed a lawsuit

Yeah I'm pretty sure SEGA made them stop making them.

Sega should have just made their own actually Dreamcast was really cool but why were all the spiral logos and such red colour in America and Japan but in the UK they were blue? Maybe it was to mark the NTSC and PAL systems with their respective colour so it was easy to tell the region of a console just by looking at its case and the boot up...

In America and Japan the spiral was Orange. And the reason the spiral was blue in the UK and Europe was for legal reasons. A company before them used orange spirals on their products before them so they changed it to blue.
