    Psh, thats not the Wii, thats the Revolution according to the sticker ;) Kidding, thats an awesome picture, I hope it comes out in a Navy blue like the DS Lite, but for some reason, I doubt it.

    knowing nintendo. the dev kits will always be called revolution. Much like the Gcn kits are dolphin & DS kits are nitro.

    Is that just a proto type? I though the GPU was still not finalised.

    strangely collectable.

    on a different note, which nintendo consoles HAVENT had two names at some point in their development?

    nintendo64 => ultra64
    gamecube => dolphin
    wii => revolution

    I'm glad you don't need that ridiculous dock for it to run (the power supply cord is visible)

    The DDH kits now read GameCube on them instead of Dolphin (GDEV still has the Dolphin sticker)

    Kevin, what's wrong with the dock? Stuff that sits vertically saves much space on a cluttered desk, and the stand is a nice touch. That said, you can see that it can stand verticaly without the stand too, it has the "pads".

    I want it as small as possible. The doc is just useless waste of space.

    That is a valid point.

    Since the dock is for free, I m not complaining. I ll probably keep it with the dock for a while, then without, and then put it horizontaly for a change. What really bugs me is that I can't decide between black or white, and I think I might end up getting both if it's cheap enough.

    Anyone else facing the same dilema?:banghead:

    PS: 600$ for that debug if anyone brings it to me alive :110:

    That baby looks so at home infront of that Samsung LCD!


    Good thing I have a 32" Samsung like that, which is now just waiting for a black little Nintendo system to sit close to it

    also, there's no hidden expansion port on the up-to-now hidden part of the console.

    The one at the front middle? I think there is, it's just not a particularly high-resolution image. Hard to tell either way.

    Which makes me think - Which was the codename of the SNES/SFC (or the dev kits) - if there was one at all?

    Now that you mention it it does look like a white "drive" of sorts ( a tiny version of NPDP cart if I dare say so). Maybe it's unique to the debug model? (I dont see why they wouldn't use laptop HDDs to do the NPDP-cart stuff on a console that has also got an optical drive. It's like having an NR-reader and NPDP cube in one ! )

    I think that's just a sticker, though again there's no way to be sure from that photo. I was talking about the space under the blue-lit drive. People who asked questions about the flap at the front of this year's E3 Wii console were refused an answer.

    Didn't they say it was supposed to be the size of like 3 DVD cases stacked? Looks to be a little bigger than that.

    I remember i read at IGN somewhere (might been a blog of one of the editors) that it's "just" the SD slot (Might be two of them, but i dont see a reason for two SD slots)
