I want one.

And will this one have almost decent graphics? Doubt it.

They said the graphics would be greatly improved.

Wow, HazBruv... Can you be anymore negative today?

I could, I've had a proper crap day :/

^ Right with you. On topic, this looks rather intresting, if it really is a 3d game system it would definately be something nice to have.

Looks cool. Im waiting for them to customize colors a bit more, but the improvements are probably going to be awesome.
