What can they do with it? Turn it into a great PDA? Allow a new generation of text adventure games? 
Or simply use it for messaging and similar stuff?
Oh, well, I’ll get mine before Christmas.

The Revolution begins here. Saw the link on Slashdot.
Very interesting article about what will be my main console in the next generation.
Just finished Fahrenheit. It’s not really a hard game. It is, however, a great one.
Amazing direction, voice acting, soundrack, and the first 3/4 of the game are some of the most emotional gaming moments ever seen in a game. The last part of the game, however, feels a bit rushed, and the story becomes much less believable, making me shake my head and say “come on…” a few times.
… if I did, I could have just met a living legend:
If you don’t know who he is (shame, shame…), here’s the Wikipedia link.

Saw the news here.
As the article mentions:
It is the fifth device capable of playing GBA software successfully launched by Nintendo and follows the original Game Boy Advance, the GBA SP, the GameCube Game Boy Player and the Nintendo DS. It’s based around the Super Famicom, a fifteen year-old machine.
And yet it outsells Sony’s “loading generic GTA clone… loading… loading… loading… ready… OUT OF BATTERY” ultra-expensive toy. Die, PSP! 
(sorry about the advocacy, but I really don’t like what Sony (*) is doing to make one of my passions - video gaming - become more and more generic and predictable, with everything being about better graphics and nothing else, restricted to about half a dozen genres, and with a complete lack of innovation and risk taking. So I want them to fail - badly.)
(*) and EA, and to an extent Microsoft
Here it is (saw the link on Slashdot).
Weird thing. Looks like a TV remote control… but can be used like a light gun - or a light sabre.
And you can use it with only one hand.
I guess that, since the Revolution is backward compatible with the GameCube, it will accept ‘Cube gamepads as well… but time will tell.
EDIT:Another very good article, with better photos, at Edge Online.
I love gadgets. I love games. I love new “toys”. And this is/has all of those.
Unfortunately, I am far from rich, so I won’t be able to buy it this month. Maybe only for Christmas. Also, since I live in Europe, I get every game months later than the U.S. or Japan, but Nintendogs, Advance Wars and others should be available by then.
But, yes, I have already decided that the DS will be my next console. Nobody makes games like Nintendo. And, as far as I’m concerned, the PSP is a joke.
