Well, like I said, we are still in the "drawing board" stage for FB3.  We won't even have the hardware in "prototype" form until (at least) February '06.

Having said that, we are planning for FB3 to be more of a console, and less of a Plug & Play unit.

....and the cost of reproducing the original 2600 switches would have raised the price of FB2 by $10+ per unit.
