[Technology.Programming.Life.Value=Questionmark] Nintendo reveals details on Revolution and Game Boy Micro: Not surprisingly, 24 hours after Sony's announcement regarding their PS3, Nintendo have revealed details on their forthcoming console called Revolution and their pocket Game Boy Micro. Firstly.... (Game Boy Micro) Even though Nintendo current console the Gamecube has not been selling as well

[Brought to you by the letter 'd'] E3: The big three have had some press conferences already and details are emerging about the systems making up the next genereation. Nintendo announced the Gameboy Micro as well as some details on Revolution. Here are a few places to hit for your E3 news fix:

[BLOG.HV1.NET] It’s E3 time!!: Here’s a direct link to Gamespot. (I want the silver one to match my silver Sony Wega TV!!) Unfortunately, it hasn’t been officially dated, nor has a price tag been associated with it yet. (We are all expecting a $300-$350 price tag though.)

The Richter Scale Blog - by Jake Richter: The most interesting non-standard things I found were a VoIP program on the Nintendo DS, the Video Chat on the Sony PS2 using EyeToy, and a preview of EyeToy Kinetics. The latter was something I think I could finally get my wife to use as an entry to possibly finding game consoles useful for more than playing DVDs or distracting her three children (my two kids and myself).
