today is Feb 23. Matt says some peeps at EA have recieved dev kits and the system features a big touch screen. Matt even threw in an image.
Makes you want to curse, I hope it isn't true.
seventy seven thumbs down.

well i wouldnt mind it if its in the midle... similar to VMUs from the Dreamcast... but if theres NO buttons at all just a giant touch screen next to an analog stick...
well thats going to be pretty weird to say the least...

The hypersensitivity begins.

If his picture of the Revolution is accurate then the picture following it is dead on.

didn't they say the Revolution wouldn't have two screens? they didn't say it wouldn't have one. damn nintendo and their tricky wording. some rumors about the NextBox are that it will have a VMU touchscreen device that is removable.

havent heard that one, i did hear that the Xbox 360 Hard Drive would be removable, and allow you to take your songs with you ala iPod which is an interesting idea.

Either way, I like his explaination of the Cell though he should've used a screengrab from Terminator 2 or 3's nuke sequences instead since that's much more fitting with SkyNet and all.

He made it plain as day that they were nothing but rumors.
EDIT: bleh, I didn't do as good of a job at reading this thread as I thought

by wire or by simply resting the controller on a charger? I really like the wire/less option that charged while you played. But if
rechargable batteries were good enough, we wouldn't have to worry about that.
Looking back at things, Nintendo has always pushed the envelope. Their first console came with the gun (duckhunt). It
was cool to shoot the TV ducks- then the power glove- then there was that running mat- and virtual boy. I'm not saying
these were great ideas- some (most) of them sucked, but they pushed the envelope, and the analog stick rules! They
keep thinking outside the BOX so to speak.
