yes, this has to be a repost for sure, but I can't seem to find it in search so I can talk about it.

But ah well, might as well start a new discussion about it.

Wow. The second picture even has Utada's Easy Breezy playing just to add that Japanese-ie authenticity. It'd be a pretty sweet product.

Definately rendered, cool idea.

However, whoever did it didn't think much about the fact that there is little to no chance of putting all that crap on the lid behind an LCD, that they are missing the 3 shoulder buttons, and that in relation to the size of the gamecube disc, there is NO possible way of teenager/adult hands being able to acurately use any of the buttons except the control sticks. The microphone port looks too small.

Gee, what gave it away, the fact the game was playing while the disc was ejected? ;)

I love how the public always comes up with the smart ideas and Nintento then turns around and churns out some more "Game Boy Micros" or whatever...:disgust:

I agree. An OLED screen and some decent engineering could make Sony wish they'd never even released the PSP. Nintendo could also release movies, music, etc. on those discs and make a killing.

Exactly. Even if this was $300-400, imagine playing RE4 or Metroid Prime on the move. If this was real, this would redefine console gaming. But the only problem, this would kill the GBA/DS.
