Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge

Pyrohazard writes "Nintendo has posted some details on the Revolution to their official site, finally giving us some insight into what the console will be like. From the site: 'It will be about the thickness of three standard DVD cases and only slightly longer.' This makes it the smallest Nintendo console yet! It will also be able to stand up, similar to the PS2, and the Xbox 360. It will be backwards compatible, and it will also play '12cm optical disks in the same self-loading media drive'. It also states that it will have a very quick start-up time, and be very quiet. It finishes by stating 'Get ready for the Nintendo Revolution in 2006!'" C|Net has an article up arguing that Nintendo is making an error in missing the 2005 Holiday season.

No MTV Special

There's not going to be an MTV special since The Revolution won't be televised. (rimshot)

No, it would apear that you havn't looked at the PS3 stuff at all. If you had, you would know that the PS3 will be powered by the "Cell". The Cell is made of hundereds of Cray supercomputers, shrunk by magic, by a specially bred race of japanese Dwarves. The PS3 will solve many of mankinds more pressing problems in O(n log n)!!!
