Nintendo are big so why do they create so small? Come on there must be something wrong if Microsoft can makes something so big only Bill Gates himself can fit it in his mansion come on look at the reacent and still to be released Nintendo stuff.

The GBA it is bigger than the GBC but you could of fooled me it is so tiny but look at the carts! I'm afraid i will lose it in my pocket and as Will Smith once said "can you hold this i'm afraid i might break it".

Look at the Gamecube! About the same size of 10 stacked up CD's, that is about the same size of my alarm clock! Nintendo like portable stuff especially with the handle but a home console that doesn't even come close to the huge size of the PS2 and X-box.

It is taller (only a bit) I know but it is still tiny. And don't say it is because of DVD the Gamecube DVD is just a little taller than the Gamecube! Proof Bigger isn't better and ood things come in small packages!

Is something this small capable of doing something so good, of course it is! And what effect does this have on the individual sales well the Japs love small things that is why they have already (basically) rejected the X-box!

I can no longer wait for the GC but when I get it
I will be worried i'm going to lose it in my pile of games and magazines.

Here's to a future of small things.

It even says so in the SR mag! The stand also keeps the PS2 cleaner.

Shocky knows nothing. The PS2 can go at least 35 degrees without falling over. I will bring proper test results tomorrow.

The stand does protect the base. Think for once.

Oh and the controllers might pull on the PS2 and pull it over if it didn't have a stand. With a stand, pulling it would be fine. The PS2 would simply slide along the surface ans stand smugly up-right.
