Revolution – Thin & Sleek

[E3 Is| Almost Here]

Not to be forgotten during the unveiling of the Xbox 360 (ok, the design looks better than I thought), Nintendo has released a few tasty details on the Revolution.

Perrin Kaplan, speaking with the New York Times, revealed that the Revolution will be a sleek console. How sleek you ask? Try as thin as three DVD cases stacked on top of each other, sitting horizontally.

Kaplan is also stating for the first time that the console will use regular DVD media. No proprietary format this time? If this is the case I have a feeling we will see DVD movie playing abilities also.

Of course we will also see wireless controllers, Wifi and backwards compatibility with Gamecube software. I cant wait!

UPDATE: Nintendo has reconfirmed the news on its website:
