I can't seem to tell for certain from ANY of the pictures so far-the PS3 LOOKS like it will be top loading, the XBOX 360 LOOKS like it'll be tray-based, and I can't tell at all in the case of the Revolution.
I'm most interested in knowing about the Revolution-since it will be backwards compatible with Cube games, I'm wondering if the current Freeloader import-player disc will work on it-if the Revolution's top-loading, then I would think that it would-or if not, someone will come out with a new Freeloader disc.
Which of 3 new consoles will be top-loading or tray-based

Interesting. Well, if that's all true, I just hope these slots don't allow a lot of dust to get into these consoles.
And I wonder how well a boot disc, like the Freeloader, would work on a slot based console.

If the revolution is going to use 5" DVDs instead of the 3" GC discs, how are the 3" discs going to work with a slot based drive?
Feedback will set you free.

newer slot loads ('new' as in a while now) can take in 3" discs. they cant take in irregularly shaped discs though, like the rectangular credit card or whatever else shaped ones.
freeloader may have a chance if it can even boot, otherwise it mostly depends on how rev will handle ejecting stuff. just eject no matter what and pause or something (like gc), wait till drive activity stops, go back to system os, whatever. but yeah i doubt itll work, we wont know for sure until a real unit comes out though.
