The fact that you have to specify which Game Boy you're comparing to doesn't work well. There were, from what I can tell, at least 7 physically different boxes - some with many colors - that were sold under the label 'Game Boy'. Despite roughly 200 million of them selling worldwide I've only seen 2-3 in passing and never owned one.Or a ruler.
[doublepost=1467396741,1467396518][/doublepost]Actually, is the brick Game Boy ubiquitous enough? There is already a picture of them together.
If you can't tell which one it is by seeing it then you would not be likely to get it confused for a coherent model. Fair enough, though, not popular enough.The fact that you have to specify which Game Boy you're comparing to doesn't work well.

If a standard measuring device isn't a sufficient tool to give someone a general idea of the size those people probably shouldn't be bothering with a Pyra. They don't need to know the exact size with the ruler. Just as with a coin, it is to give a general idea. If they need to know the size down to the mm they should be reading the product page, and they will probably have a measuring device handy or the precision is irrelevant. Even if they don't use a ruler daily they can run into the other room and grab one, or check the dimensions of something they do use daily and get a rough idea of how close it is in size. A quarter ifs about an inch across, so I don't see how using a coin is better than a ruler (and do normal people even use coins anymore? I collect them, so I mess with a variety regularly, and they are often ones that are not commonly circulated today.)Frankly a ruler works from an intelectual and engineering perspective but not so much for a general perception basis.
But what if they think it is a micro SD?At least SD cards are a standard size.
If they aren't familiar with a ruler it is possible that aren't familiar with those. Maybe include all of them in the picture to increase the chances of there being something they know the size of.And then there are AA batteries, audio cassettes, CDs, Barbies, floppy disk drives, ec or credit cards, viagra, VW Golf, table-tennis bat and ball, baseball caps etc.
I don't see that happening, SD cards and microSD cards look nothing alike.But what if they think it is a micro SD?
Except there are like ten different sizes of Barbie now. Banana is best scale unit.And then there are AA batteries, audio cassettes, CDs, Barbies, floppy disk drives, ec or credit cards, viagra, VW Golf, table-tennis bat and ball, baseball caps etc.
Why didn't ED make that pic? We really need one asap. Any suggestion on the variety of banana to use?I'm pretty sure bananas are the defacto standard of measurement on the internet.
And the original Game Boy looks nothing like the others, so what's your point? If they don't know rulers do you really think they will know different memory cards?I don't see that happening, SD cards and microSD cards look nothing alike.

My point is that If you know what a microSD card looks like, you'll know by looking at it that the SD card is something different. If you don't know what one looks like, you won't be using it as a size reference to begin with. Either way you're not going to be looking at an SD card and thinking of it as a MicroSD card.And the original Game Boy looks nothing like the others, so what's your point? If they don't know rulers do you really think they will know different memory cards?
Damn, I should have made more suggestions, not only Barbie.Except there are like ten different sizes of Barbie now. Banana is best scale unit.And then there are AA batteries, audio cassettes, CDs, Barbies, floppy disk drives, ec or credit cards, viagra, VW Golf, table-tennis bat and ball, baseball caps etc.
I didn't see the original video (was it just the song?), but that is exactly the banana I had in mind. I was going to try to make a picture of the Pyra with him in it.
