So the converter cable works both ways, converting old motors and sensors to be used with NXT as well as some new sensors to be used with the old RCX.
hmmm... interesting.
oh, btw, I found something new (to me at least) about the NXT screen: Check this "old" episode of DigitalLifeTV CES Special. To see the NXT segment, jump to 00:57:03
That's something I've never seen before: The NXT screen has a heart blinking, so this gives me some hope about the screen control with the standard software.
...on the other hand, it could be only a basic feature, like loading at the start of the program a static or optionally blinking bit-mapped image with no individual x,y pixel control of the screen.
Maybe both are possible... only time will tell ;)
All I can say is "Good catch" and "You won't be disappointed."
Thanks, Koshdukai.

Well, not being disappointed is always a good thing, so thanks ;)
it has a 9 volt light at the sensor location... => thus it must use the converter cable. I wonder if it is in the set or not ?

So it seems that for the extra $30, you get $101 in stuff. However, you do need to pay your FLL registration fees in order to qualify for the FLL NXT.
I'm still unclear if there will be a retail version of the NXT that will be yet different than the Education NXT.
