And - you can download every Nintendo game ever produced (NES, SNES, N64 etc) - how cool is that.

i agree the ps3 could look better, but at least it doesn't look like a mini pc like the 360 does.

Yes, why this is true, the 360 has customizable faceplates, how cool is that. Also I dont really care how it looks, I am interested in which one is better and faster. Does anyone know by the way?

Hey, the PS3 from what I have heard is going to have the "cell" which will contain 4 huge processors... i don't know a whole lot of it and I bet the information isn't hard to find. But the Xbox 360 is running on 3 processors and the PS3 is running on 4 of the same processors. So the PS3 sounds faster. BUT. Xbox has Xbox live fully established and it works like a charm, so don't forget about that HUGE feature... that is if you plan on playing games online (personally what i find to be its best feature).

That revolution though I think i'd get over everything, just because of its ability to play ALL games from the NES. WOW. If thats true and you can get all the games, and not just some, then thats the system for me. Lol that might sound sad, but its true user added image

Also, I definately think the PS3 design is the worst. It seems massive and not elegant at all. Looks just bulky and bland. I think the Revolution design is 2nd best. The problem is it's TOO simple. So simple that it's boring. However, I really like the 360 design. user added image

Well sorry for that. I guess you can't trust what everyone says. I heard that from one of my computer friends at school and I just assumed he was right user added image

Someone obviously was born witht the NES. Keeping to your roots are you? I mean, ninetendo would need MORE than a miricacle to outdo microsoft or sony. But I agree, it does look nice.

Design wise Revolution is best me thinks. The possability of downloading very Nintendo games is a nice touch - whats the bet the others start to introduce this feature in a few years.

I watched an interview where Reggie said all Nintendos past controllers are very diffrent, and as you can play all of them on the Revolution it's controller is a device have will allow this. Can you say touch screen user added image

Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

Yeah, that does sound pretty innovating, but look at sony, you can play all their games on the updated console. And this really is only innovative stuff, not technologicaly advanced. But still, I think it looks nice.
