DVD, wirless controller, backward compatibility and a sexy exterior? I know which of the three I'm getting first. Does any one have any idea about what time it will be released, like before christmas or at the beginning of 2006?

What I don't get is whats so revolutionary about it? Is it the "virtual console" aspect...wow. :rolleyes: Not that thats not cool, but I can sorta do that now... ;)

I don't really like self-loading slots. They tend to break. You're adding more moving parts to an already fragile piece of equipment. Bah.
Though I think I can see how you could make a large slot accomodate the smaller Gamecube discs. What I'm thinking of is how something has to grab the disc to pull it in; perhaps the shape of the lower "grabber" is made to close in on a disc so the smaller Gamecube discs are in a pincer grip between the two. I don't know anything about how self-loading CD trays work though so I could be wrong.
It looks sexy but I don't want wireless controllers. Even if they have Li-Ion battery packs (making this up; I haven't read anything) it means I'll need at least two controllers to game so that (like I do with GBA) I can be recharging one while playing with the other.
I don't even want to think about what will happen when my battery dies while I am fighting a boss. This will be the second controller I have broken in rage and possibly the first console.
Otherwise I think it's a cool looking system that is going to get covered in ugly fingerprints and smudges, then scratches from me trying to clean it.
Now it's time to see some games. An ugly girl in a pretty dress is still an ugly girl.
So far I'm indifferent, though wireless controllers are a definite minus.
