"Good things come in small packages"

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.

The GC has loads of ports and bays on the back, if you look.

if you look at the pic then you will see the broadband modem, the 56K one is the same only it is black.

The stand protects the base, GUARANTEES the PS2 doesn't fall over, and yes, make sit look a lot more cooler.

Yes, there is a point to the stand - thanks. (idiot)

The GC hasen't confirmed a modem? well they have but haven't shown it yet...

if you want to see a pic of the GC with a modem attatched go to

It does actually! Jeesh, how many time do I have to correct people? The modem for the GC will fit into a little alcove already there. When you get the GC, there might be a small bay with a lid where, once the lid has been taken off, you'll find a small hole in which to fit your broadband modem in. Done and dusted. Anymore questions?

I'm not putting the GC down for being smaller. Admittadly it is smaller but do we really care? It's a bloody games console for God's sake, it's not supposed to move.

The PS2's power pack and heavy gubbins are at the bottom so it's centre of gravity is extremely low, along with the controller ports. It can topple over but I've given mine a fair bashing and it hasn't yet. The PS2 has about as much chance of falling over as a persian rug.
