The drive should be designed to pick it up however. there will be two catchers much like a vending machine that will activate the particuar mechanism for the size disc you place in.

That drive is a real work of art. It just shows how much thought Nintendo put into the design of Wii.

 

Can't wait for the launch. :)

I was confused at first, not really paying attention to what I was watching. I thought it was a giant disc lol!

It really does show how small the console actually is :D

Meh, I don't see whats so amazing about putting a gamecube disc in. My CD play in my car is slot loading and takes gamecube sized discs. I've not tried putting a small disc in but I imagine it will just push it into the middle.

I think it's awesome. love the name, love the design, love the adverts, love the whole new direction Nintendo is going in.

 

Slick, Cool, New, Fresh, and Appealing. No more kiddy, geek, fan boy image any more. Nintendo will rock.

That won't work and I wouldn't try it ;)

My laptop also has a slot like dvd and I've read in the manual that it doesn't read 8cm disks, so I won't try. But I really want to know what happens.

Umm, yes it will.

 

  CD Player Manual said:
The built-in CD player plays one, standard 12-cm or 8-cm (single) CD at a time. Do not use an adapter when playing 8-cm CDs.

 

Obviously I don't want to put a GC disc in it. But if I find an 8cm CD I will give it a go.

 

Edit:

 

Right I just tried it with a gamecube disc. It works exactly the same as putting a full size disc in. You simply push it into the middle and it goes in. If you push it in at the edge it wouldn't do anything.

 

Got a crappy video of it here

 

So there you have it. Nintendo's stuff about it being the first slot loading disc to accept both disc sizes is rubbish.
