...every day before work is have a forklift race, where u can win different prizes depending on what position you come in, then we spend the rest of the day moving aroun 15 wooden crates about the harbour.
and on top of the SD card slots there is 512mb of flash memory inside the console itself.
the biggest N64 games were 64m, and most are around 8 or 16 mb
snes games are mostly about 2mb and NES games are like 300k-ish
512mb seems like enough to me, as long as that memory isnt for game saves aswell.
i would pay £100 (around $200?) for a gamecube that had the ability to download NES SNES AND N64 games for free, the ability to play revolution games would be a bonus.
If nintendo keep the price of the unit down i can see the revolution very successful, its great how nintendo seem to be using there stregnths instead of trying beat sony and microsoft at their own games. No other single game developer has the heritage and consistant quality that nintendo have, execpt maybe sega, but not so much nower days.
It seems ironic to me that people criticised nintendo for keepin the cartridge format for the N64, and blamed that for why the playstation became dominant, but it could be a factor in regaining nintendos dominance, as it would be much harder and NSF56K to allow gamers to download CD games, at 700mb (+with more disc!)
...in the year 2050, thinking is a crime punishable by death, EA Big is in totaly control of the video games market. EA big's goal is complete control over every single human mind by narrowing down the complexity of gameplay.

record store owner 2: I know, record store owner 1, I know.
...either this is solely hype building. ie sony - "its gonna cost a billion dollars, and will eb a million times better than anything ever before" and so the consumer gets hyped for it, then when they actually sell it at £349 everyone goes out and buys this bargain.
The other possibility is that it will retail at around this price, and sony will expect the playstation brand to carry it, which it probably will.
(goes and pre-orders a revolution)
this reminds me of when microsoft was loosing about $150 on every xbox console, i made a plan to buy millions of xboxes, and no games, just to make them go bankrupt, but then i relised the only person rich enough to do that was bill gates himself.

and i guess i wont get a free boomerang with my revolution..
(preorders revolution)
Uber tech geeks wont because they know it is baisically a 3 year old pc in a box.
average joe casual gamer won't because he wants to go to a shop and buy his games, aswell as wanting to physically own the game
the people inbetween, imho, wont care, and will stick with their PCs or traditional consoles.
