I remembering reading some hands-on previews, and someone stated that the flap is a hint in itself and further said "that's the revolution right there."
I wish I could find a link, but maybe you guys know what i'm talking about.

EDIT: That flap

I have no idea what you're talking about, what with the flap being the revolutionary feature. I doubt it, but it's still a possibilty.

If we could we might be able to tell if it has a normal fan for cooling or one of these rumored things with the liquid metal or what not...that'd be cool. Someone should ask one of the guys at IGN that got to handle one.

Well considering we dont know anything about the dvd add-on device or the revolutions optical drive, you cant make that assumption. Until we have some more solid specs anything is still possible. We dont even know how the DVD add-on device connects to the revolution.

We do know that the add-on will be housed within the console(don't feel like lookin for the quote).
now for a little thinking outloud...................
What if Nintendo went with a blue laser drive that is capable of reading red laser disc. This 'DVD add-on' would be purchased depending on what format of movies you want to watch. One adapter for regular DVD's, one for HD-DVD, and one for BRD. HD & BRD would both be able to watch regular DVD also but would be more expensive.
i.e. 19.99 for regular DVD alone, for those that don't have HDtv's therefore not needing BRD or HD movies.
and 39.99 for HD-DVD or BRD, 59.99 for a combination of both, this would cover all HD/BRD/DVD consortium fees and give the user options with the ability to upgrade or switch movie formats at will.

Was this an actual rumor, that the DVD drive would be upgradable, cause I had just thought of it when I posted it. But I bring this up cause now it was mentioned in the mailbag @ IGNCube today, and I hadn't heard that as an actual rumor before.Quote
Mystery Slot
Matt what does the little flap on the front of the revolution do? I saw on a website that you can upgrade the dvd drive in it. Have you heard that?
Matt responds: Nope. According to Nintendo of America, the front flap houses the slots for the 512MB-plus flash cards that Revolution will use to store game downloads and other data. I haven't heard anything about upgrade drives.
I saw the rumor that the drive will allegedly be upgradeable to support HD-DVD or Blu-ray, but nothing I've heard or seen suggests that's true. I think it's merely wishful thinking.
Have you guys heard this before?

ok Look at a pic of the rev ... thinking ... thinking ... *ding*
I got *bang head in motor* owe what was it ... oh yeah the blue light on the rev must mean the rev has a Blue-laser of a fomate that nintendo made.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on June 04, 2005, 12:13:21 PM
Even if the Rev had a red or green glowing slot, that doesn't mean that their drive uses a red or green laser, but it could be a crypitic hint as to the optical format(which would be great).
