Rewind back to late 1998. The GBC was launching and geeky editors like ourselves were having a field day. We already managed to convince our good pal Ben Heck to build another Xbox 360 laptop, so it was only a matter of time before we started brainstorming on how the hell we could possibly fit a Gameboy Color into a "portable" enclosure. That's the part where Ben stepped up his game and worked his magic -- for ten years -- to build... the Gameboy Color Laptop!

The essential specs:

* 2-inch LCD screen with 144i resolution, no backlight yet
* HDMI-DVI connection (same as Xbox 360 laptop)
* Built-in buttons, stereo speakers, headphone jack
* Size: 17 x 13.75 x 3-inches
* Weight: 16 pounds!

You want this one of a kind piece of kit for your very own, Nintendo fanboys? You got it. We're auctioning this thing for slavery real soon, so watch out for details. And, naturally, big ups to our pal Ben Heck for the long hours and love he put into this thing. The man is truly a hero of ours, so be sure to hit up his site to check out his other projects, as well as the other instructional stuff he's done.

Recently Rock Band developer Harmonix said that if Wii wanted DLC for Rock Band, it needed a HDD. It looks like Nintendo finally gave in. Starting April 26, you will be able to purchase Wii's add-on HDD, which comes in two flavors. The 256MB is $49.99, but you can go for the recommended 1.2GB which is $129.99. Nintendo hopes to expand the gaming experience with the HDD, as a rep said "Gamers wanted the space. We gave it to them. JK LOL ROFLMAO FUCK OUR CUSTOMERZ." The picture above shows the add-on as a man is hooking it to a Wii. Finally, we can all ditch those pesky SD cards.
