I hope this video (12 MB) is real. It sure as hell looks real. (The interesting part starts at 3:15.)

Not real. Would be nice, but we already know (more or less) that the Revolution will be a beautifully tiny system. Also, how are you going to do "local" multiplayer with that thing?

Nevertheless, it was a very cool little segment to watch. Whoever did it sure knows their stuff.

Yeah, I just read that IGN says it's fake.

Wow, somebody sure has a LOT of time on their hands. That video is sure a hellulalot better than the Xbox 360 MTV launch.

Someone put a lot of effort into making that fake. Probably too much. However, I must say that this would be one sweet system if it were real.

I'm gonna spend hours making a video of a fake product that doesn't exist.


Nah... I think I'll just take a nap.

What are you guys using to watch that? WMP for mac is broken under Tiger, VLC can't read that codec and I don't have a license for the Flip4Mac plug-in.

Ok, excuse me thinking it must have been Microsoft's fault

Deleting the prefs brought it back to life.

Yup, its a fake. It was made by some dude in Spain. And man he has heaps of time on his hands. Having said that...if he were doing graphic design, i think that would have got him an A++. He haas talent for advertizing imo.

The system in his video did look rather hideous though...like a toaster/helmet ....what didnt make sence is if you have the visor, why would you need a TV/ monitor (i like how the computer icon in the video was an iMacG4 )

Cool music. Shame it's not real - Nintendo always say they're going to do something crazy but usually just make an oddly shaped controller or put two screens on a gameboy (again)
