What about Nintendo Revolution?

IGN:

"The system, which is reportedly tiny, will stand horizontally. Its height will reportedly be no more than three DVD cases stacked flatly on each other, or slightly more than an inch. That makes the console theoretically smaller than Apple's recently released Mac Mini computer.

Although Nintendo has historically selected proprietary media formats, such as the GameCube Optical Disc, for its platforms, the publisher is with Revolution opting for a more standardized medium. The new console will play standard DVD media, according to the company. Nintendo has not yet revealed if Revolution will as a result be able to play Hollywood movies on DVD, but that seems very likely at this point.

At the Game Developers' Conference in March, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that Revolution would offer Wi-Fi online connections out of the box and would be backward compatible with GameCube, or able to play GCN software.

According to recent information, Revolution will also be able to play high-definition games and regularly go online.

Finally -- something of a no-brainer given the popularity of the Wave Bird pads -- Revolution's still-secret controller will be completely wireless.

Wow. That's like the sizse of a CD drive!

PS3 looks like ass, total ass. It's horrible, and even if I wanted one (which I would never), I wouldn't buy something that looked like that. XBox maybe, it has a flair to it, the PS3 just looks horrible.

ugh. cant stand bose. no wonder i instictively hated it. guess it is sorta true to design though. for the most part, both companies charge a big premium for proprietary designs that are lacking on the technical front. (compare the price of sony viao pcs to any other company, and bose's sound systems to any other company of similar quality.)
