in PS3 times im sure no one will give a damn about PS1 games
it must hurt your eyes to see such crappy graphics, its bad enough now, imagine photorealistic graphics, and then

and btw, concerning GCN, do you really believe you want to play your old GCN games when Revolution comes out?
maybe right at the beginning, and only very few of them, but once Revolution has a serious lineup forget, you wont touch the GCN, and anyway, as someone said before, just keep your GCN, its not worth much used anyway, i bet it will drop to 50 soon, and that new

Yeah, I think I will be playing my GC games on my Revolution, presuming I get one. The 64, SNES and NES were all durable cartrige systems, and presuming they have been properly looked after, they should still be working today. The Gamecube, however, is disc based: packing it in a dusty box in a dusty wardrobe in a dusty spare room will probobly cause the lens to cloud over. By reguarly playing it now, you are allowing the fan to clean out any dust in in your Cube, but over long periods of inactivity it will biuld up. (I should probably state that through some sort of ecological/cultural quirk, my country has unusually dusty houses, so perhaps this will not apply to the majority of current Cube owners.) I've seen two Cubes which have had their opening mechanism slightly malfunction despite having been perfectly looked after, only a few months after they were purchased. In short, I don't trust the Cube to hold out as a piece of hardware like Nintendo's previous consoles have.

I agree. disk based systems are fragile. backwards compatibility isnt going to stop me from buying the revolution, but no matter how many games I get, Im not going to be entertained for the rest of eternity, and it's certainly easier to pop a dif game into the system the to pop a new system into my entertainment unit. Im looking forward to a new controller (perhaps with a touch pad, or a small screen for menus like the gba had in poke colloseum), so i suggest they have ports for GCN controllers at least, as the new ones may very well come wireless. who knows? the DS will have wireless connection to it. anyway, the revolution will have to be compatible with two disc types, since its unlikely that N will repeat the 'mini-disk' mistake.
