Yer according to an interview with "Toyota" Ken Toyota, Nintendo Japans PR man,

"E3 will be the starting point for the Revolution. [We haven't decided] whether we will show the real machine, videos, or unveil the concept. ... We want to receive some level of evaluation, but releasing too much information is also another issue. We don't have the slightest intention of making a machine that follows the same path as conventional game hardware. Right now, we are thinking of how we can accurately convey to people at E3 the different path that the Revolution will take and how it will change the way that games will be enjoyed."

With PS3 and Xbox 2 confirmed playable, it would be an idiotic move by Nintendo not to have some sort of hands on demonstration of the Revolution. If the reason that they keep everything movie form is because they don't have any actual playable games, then Nintendo are in trouble. With Revolution's Launch pencilled in (by us) for 12 - 18 months time, no playable software, indeed no playable hardware is a worrying sign.

If 3rd parties don't get a chance to get to grips with Revolution soon, the launch will be another 3 game Nintendo only affair, and up against stiff competition from Sony and Microsoft (despite what Nintendo like to think), their own Revolutionary games won't be enough to carry the console.

I do, I downloaded most of Season 3... but I got bored.

I see it's only £24.99 now on DVD. Perhaps I'll buy it, although I hear it gets a bit silly.

24's the only thing you're missing.

Do you have broadband? ;)

It used to air on ITV?

I just watched it on Sky One.

But I sadly don't have that anymore, which means no 24 either.

*Sobs*

I never imagined it was real. Just great entertainment. Oh how I long for my lost youth.

I wish nobody had ever told me it was fake.

Wrestlemania 2 and UK Rampage were excellent when I was a kid.

Oh how I miss my youth where Rock made me laugh and I just wanted him to lay the smack down on Austin's texas based candy ass.

I'm starting to read these long posts as if they're being spoken like smack-talk from wrestlers.

It's really quite funny. :D
