Could the Revolution feature a Hard-Drive?

[dave is ok]

The fifteen gigs will be set aside for DS connectivity

Can't you just save anything you put on the HD via a hub, a cable and a PC-DVD burner?

The problem lies in when you can no longer get a hard drive small enough and you have to mod teh box just to get it to work.

Solid state media is very expensive.

But for what it's worth, Microsoft hired a company to design a propietary solid state card, and speculation is thats what theyre gonna do for Xbox2.

Yeah I saw that too, would be a good idea, do we really need a 15 gig media card or the like though...

I think 4-8 gigs should be plenty for game updates and such, I have never added my own sound tracks for games so dont care about that feature..

I dont like the fact that everyone is using hard drives, in 5-10 years they will stop working and unlike your Genesis or Nes you are fucked.

Sorta like all those dead NES batteries?

[Jeremy]

Or Genesis ones, or SNES ones, or Sega CD and Saturn ones. The storage devices will all die out eventually, I'm just glad that it's now easier than ever to back them up to a more permanent format.

can't wait till nintendo moves to online, just to see everyone else move onto something bigger and better.

Just using an optical drive virtually ensures an early death anyway. Do you think your GameCube will outlast your SNES? Good luck.

Hmm, I see this as Nintendo possibly finally seeing the potential of online gaming in it's full capacity. Can you imagine, just for a moment, a Super Smash Brothers Online as one of the first games released on their new system??? Who among us wouldn't want that?

[Jeremy]

Those who hate the Smash Bros. series for whatever reason. I'd love it though, that series would be perfect for online play.
