New Speculation? New Media?
E3 is coming in less than 9 days and while the days drop, a couple of things have come to my attention.First off, Spong is confirming that a new GameBoy will be shown at this years E3. Months ago they they reported that a showing was strong, but nothing was certain. Now, in the dawn of the electronics expo, they strongly suggest that it will not be a portable GameCube, but instead a redone GBA SP or something entirely different (they speculated that it will have built in Play-Yan capabilities). Debunk Spong if you must, I find them credible enough.
Second off, 4 Color Rebellion has posted an interesting screenshot of possible Revolution media. It could have easily been made by anyone, but with E3 approaching, speculation is good.
Comment away.

Thats definitly fake on the count of Sony and panisonic decided to merge the HD DVD and blue-ray technologys....therefore neitehr of them exists....instead its an entireley new media formast....HD RAY?...blu-DVD?...who knwos....but its definitly not HD DVD
calm down and wait to see. although the RS and the o on the nintendo is what intrigues me
Where did you hear this blackmajik. Merged? I have not heard this.
The two formats fighting for supremacy as the next-generation videodisc format are HD-DVD (developed by Toshiba and NEC) and Blu-Ray (developed by Sony). The DVD Forum supports HD-DVD, but this does not mean that HD-DVD has won. It all comes down to one thing--studio support.
Blu-Ray has Sony-owned Columbia Tri-Star, and Sony just bought MGM. Recently, Disney said that it would release titles on Blu-Ray discs. HD-DVD is backed by Time Warner (Warner Bros. and New Line), Universal, and Paramount. 20th Century Fox has yet to decide but is on the advisory boards for both formats.
At this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the supporters behind HD-DVD put action behind their words, announcing more than 85 titles that will be released on HD-DVD before year's end, including "Batman Begins", "Braveheart", and the Harry Potter series. With that kind of line-up, it looks like HD-DVD may have taken the lead, leaving Blu-Ray with only titles from one other studio other than the ones owned by Sony and no announced movies.
However, a DVD format war may be avoided in the last minute. Sony execs are reaching out. "From the point of view to provide the best service to the consumer one format is better than two. We're open to discussions," Yukinori Kawauchi, general manager in charge of Blu-Ray at Sony, said in an interview. Toshiba (Behind HD-DVD) has said that they are now in talks with Sony and also prefers one format. This does not mean that one format is a reality just yet. HD-DVD still plans to launch in Q4 2005. However, if a unified format is decided upon it may delay the launch because of the time that the companies need to make it ready for mass production. The unified format will likely be a mix of the two formats. Taking the best from both worlds.
Photoshop, anyone?
100% Fake.
The formats merged awhile ago.
Do you smell that?
I smell bullshit.
Totally fake, VGJ! :O
