That's It, I'm Getting A Job At EB Games.

How do they know all of this!? Someone who goes by the name of Meatrix on the boards talked to his local EB Games employee and was able to get some good information on the console. Here is the conversation:
MEATRIX: Are you taking pre-orders for any next gen systems?

EB Games Employee: Xbox 360

Helper: No, the list for the 360 is already filled up

MEATRIX: How about the Revolution?

EB Games employee: Shortly, probably soon.

MEATRIX: How much will i like, have to put down to have it reserved?

EB games employee: Probably 20 precent of the cost.

MEATRIX: And how much would that be?

EB games Employee: The systems cost itself will be around 300 dollars?

MEATRIX: Whoa, that doesn't make sense Nintendo wouldn't charge that much!

EB Games employee: I know, but the technology will be amazing.

EB games employee: It will be the best.

MEATRIX: I know, how can you not like it?

Helper: i'll find a way not to.

MEATRIX: I doubt it.

MEATRIX: You know the controller?

EB Games Employee: yes, it's quite obvious, since it matches the system.

MEATRIX: you mean the black one with the glowing rings on the sides?

EB games : yes, that's it.

MEATRIX: What about the visor?

EB Games employee: umm, what visor? OH yeah the black one, it comes eperat form the system itself.

MEATRIX: yeah, i saw it in the pic with the Japanese words all over it and the dev manual picture.

EB Games employee: yep, that's it.

EB games employee: the rev will also take flash memmory, which will be sold at a relatively low cost.

MEATRIX: Thanks for the info



All of this sounds pretty real. Atleast it has a source unlike anything else, and whenever I've talked to EB Games employees, they normally know the difference between real and speculation. These people sounded pretty certain. I wouldn't mind paying $300, it's still cheaper than any system, and can account for such technologies in the controller. I'll even pay $400 for the system visor and game.

Not Quite A Serious Revolution Yet

SeriousGamer today posted a prototype pic of the Revolution's visor. I dunno, it looks kinda weird...

FREE! FREE! HUNDREADS OF GAMES FOR FREE!!!

Nintendo's George Harrison said it himself, classic Nintendo games will be free. With everything being free, I have no clue what games I'll get first, haha.
