We hear what you're saying. We know you're a little gun shy after you bought our last products, the POPStation Portable and the Gamestation, but we've changed! ... No, we haven't. But it's easy to find in stores, that got to be worth something, right?

It looks rather fake (or at least if Bob Dole and Chuck Norris have anything to say about it...) but that aside since "W" is like TWO "V"s put together, this system better only cost half as much as it'll only be half as good as a Wiil.
