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.

WHAT? No bloody reason! What are you on mate?

Of course it has a reason: to save a LOT of space and make the PS2 look even cooler - idiot.

WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS!!!

The PS2 stands on its end perfectly well without the stand. I had it like that for at least 2 months. The stand only makes it look cool. Also, the offical ones are £9.99 but they can go as low as £6.99.

sigh this is about the size of the Nintendo GBA games and the GBA and the GC not comparison to the money grabbing PS2.
