I don't know what the play, pause, stop, etc buttons are for though. I guess it'll play mini DVD-Rs. Sweet!

I guess we'll be seeing this at E3. If it's $100, PSP will be d00med!

I know you guys have all seen those pictures of this supposed GameCube Advance... they are very pretty, aren't they? Those particular pictures are just mockups, but a beautiful machine like that would give PSP a run for it's money...

Lets follow this logic.

PS2 outsold gamecube by what like 8-1? (I have absolutly no idea what the real number is so I pulled one out of my ass)


So therefore a portiable gamecube is going to outsell to the point of defeating what is essentially a portable ps2 that also happens to have picture, music and movie playback.


Put down the purple koolaid and back away, Crash.

That means that there are lots of untapped potential GameCube owners who haven't yet experienced the great GameCube games, yet many that have already grown tired of the PS2's library! They'll make millions!

That's what I was trying to say a few months ago. Nintendo NEEDS to do something special, it's their only chance....
