I love the way she's made every aspect she could find frustrating. All it needs is a cable format that's not supported by most TVs, controllers that fall out at the worst possible moment, memory cards that randomly corrupt your data and a greasy finger print on the disc drive lens. Well, no - it's a cardboard mockup.
Somehow I missed that even after reading the article three times. Another idea to make it more frustrating: put knobs on it that don't say what they do have whose effect appears random.
I doubt anything could be more frustrating than the time spent waiting for worthwhile games to be released on the Gamecube (there were like maybe 1 or 2 per year towards the end)
Even though it's a mock-up.. I would love to see a case-mod that's similar to this design, haha. I'd buy it, it looks neat.
