Thanks to Planet GameCube for its news that Nintendo has announced a series of 10 re-releases of classic NES games for the GameBoy Advance in Japan. The titles include Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, and Pacman, and will be released alongside a Famicom Edition GBA SP, previously only available in a slightly modified, limited edition. Elswhere, orthancstone writes "Gamespot is reporting that Microsoft is releasing two new limited-edition Xboxes in Japan, an Anniversary Edition in 'pure white', and another in 'Kasumi blue'. The blue Xbox will be limited to 5000 consoles, and will come bundled with Dead Or Alive Online, while the white Xbox will be limited to 1000 consoles, and will only be available online."

why not just make consoles skinable already like nokia phones, its not exactly as if it would be that hard todo, nokia was helped to where they where today by making there phones skinable, the same could be true for the first console maker that does, people like to personalize things, and which ever console they feel more personal with is the one they'll probably spend money on games for.

Yes...but that's illegal. The rereleases are not.

Stealing or not stealing? Hmm...
