Well even before the press conference it seems like IGN has got its hand on the first image as well as some details.

This is a pic of the console.

Quote:

Revolution is "two to three times more powerful than GameCube," according to Nintendo.

The system will offer a "free Internet-based player-matching service, similar to Xbox Live." The service will also offer downloadable versions of classic Nintendo games, such as Donkey Kong and Super Mario Sunshine.

Really interested in the downloadable games.. does that mean it will have a mini-HD?

Vertical standng takes up less space. Some people like it more than horizontal (though I never use my PS2 vertical because it never works vertical). The functionability of the shape likely carries more weight than the few originality/rebel points that Nintendo would receive by not letting it stand more than one way.

Glossy finish... I guess its because it a Next Gen console... lol...

And it really does look like an upgraded PS2...

So instead of stacking consoles, they can all be friends and stand side by side next gen!

altho i expect this will be the first gen that i only get 1 companies console. ah well.

I'm thinking of getting both the Revolution and the PS3

Sorry, Xbox 360, you havent really impressed me with your mediocre tv special...
