Edit: the description from Nintendo isn't very clear - by self loading, it could just mean slot loading. In which case, yes, slot loading drives does accept 8cm discs depending on the drive. I have a Sony DVD slot loading player that accepts them. Last edited by Sony Fanboy; 05-15-2005 at 01:17 PM. |

If it's slot loading drives a la ps2 and xbox then yeah, you can use 8cm disc. But self loading drives found in minimacs and in car cd player can't play 8cm disc. My friend has a pionner self loading dvd drive and in the manual it said that it cannot play 8cm disc unless you have the adaptor.

The MiniMac and car players are slot loading. I'm assuming that Nintendo is referring to slot loading when it says self-loading. Anyway, slot loading drives which support 8cm discs have an additional capture arm in the centre of the insert to latch onto the smaller discs. |

Nintendo said that it is backward compatible, they also said that revolution can play both by a self-loading media drive, which means that it is build in, you are just confused because you don't think that this can be happen. Seriously do you have to know how to make a car to ride it? What happened, happened there is no need to know how they did it only if you are one of the secret agents that FinalSolace2 was talking about! |

I honestly don't know how I feel about it being as small as I think the article describes. I mean the height of three standard DVD containers and just slightly longer?
It seems almost too small if you ask me. Glad it isn't as large as an Xbox but I was hoping maybe a something that I can't lose under an empty shoe box. Edit: I just realized, if that is the true size of the console, the controllers must be sticks of something.  Now I am officially back to worrying about what Nintendo has in store for their controller, I mean has there ever been a system where the controller was as large as the system itself?

I wouldn't worry about it. If the Revolution's controller is as small as the Gamecube's then it will be smaller than the console. |
