That way when a user is annoyed with the game can always toss/skip it in the local pond ;) BTW I do like the idea of having the games in each stone.

I originally used their branding as an exercise to see how it would fit into a current product line. They didn't allow their branding to be used though. I don't really see any likeness to the ps3 but that is a personal opinion. The modules are not designed to be cartridges really, the Games module contains a solid state drive which would store the files. I agree with the base idea, and I like how you recognized the need for deeper and bigger bowls. The concept is as much a system as it is these six products and there is no limit to base designs, or displays or core compoents etc etc. Yeh I really want to have a render in a real life situation however I have so far found it hard to do this and have it look good. The best way to do it would be to model a scene but that is a massive task. But I will try as well with the interface. Drop me an email (barton.smith@expansiondesign.com) and I'll pass some renders by you/get some more opinions. It's hard for me to know what to show since I understand the concept inside out, so your opinion is valued. Cheers It’s funny you mentioned Sony.

In fact if you are not currently ramping up for a formal proposal to Sony I would highly recommend it. (Or Nintendo if you change the overall theme to white. Since Nintendo loves proprietary formats) Since this design would best suited for the video gaming market because the proprietariness of the stones (aka cartridges) would reduce the ability for easy of pirating games. I would recommend to include in the product lineup variety of base styles. For example a bowl type would be good for those people that like to have alot of games easily accessable. Also would recommend including in the renders examples of the system interfacing with TV(s)/Projector(s) output via wireless add on stone/module. Last but not least show some UI via a solid/virtual keyboard/touch surface input.
