Ben's portable hint

Ben said he hid a portable hint in his article. Anyone found it yet? I found two.

(Sorry for posting it here but it was the only forum close to the topic since 42 was closed.)

K another hint. Look at the text inbedded in the pictures. You know when you scroll over them.

Edit: look closer and use ie for it. Not firefox

Mmmmm want another hint. Just try every picture. If you pay attention you'll find it. Just keep it all under control

K go to the control board picture. It says this is the controller that comes with the core ps3. Or something like that. Core ps3. Second look at mario bros cart it says. Here mario should say Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Nintendo wii.

is it about the ps3 or the virtual console

My guess is or wii or ps3. I'm guessing ps3 since ben has a preference for that.

Err... Um... No offense, Jeroen, but were you in one of those weed bars in Amsterdam when you wrote this? I really don't think Ben is gonna make a move to a next gen console for a number of reasons... A)Money, those things cost 4 or 5 mints. B)Size, I'm pretty sure that the first line of next gen consoles really can't be changed in size, due to the technology they used to design it. C) Ben hasn't even conquered some of the current gen console, why would he go for something that technically advanced? The likelyhood is that the first try will lead to a fried mobo and wasted money....

No I was not. And yeah but still it looks kinda like a hint. So we don't know yet but it could be.

Yeah I find it funny that you make the comment that Ben left hints that he is planning to make a Wii or PS3 portable. Ben only made a PS2p, successfully, when the PS2 slim came out.

Now to just further prove this isn't happening. Think how big a Xbox360 is, the PS3 is going ot be roughly that big. So really I don't see Ben moving to try and portablize something so big, esspeally as when he makes a portable is handheld. The Wii, is going to be about the size of a laptop. Again really to big for a portable that would be handheld.

So until they make smaller versions of the next gen consoles Ben is likely not going to mod them. I will be waiting for the C64 portable though.

Actuallly the wii is the size of 3 dvd covers on top of each other.

Jeroen's correct. The Wii will most likely be the first candidate for Portablization when the price of the console goes down. Of course, you wouldn't be able to use the wand or most of the other controller applications. On second thought, let's just wait for the PS3Small...

You could use the wand. You just have to have a somewhat bigger screen then 5" and intergrate the censor.
