Can anyone here explain if the graphics indicate a still unfinished version of the CV DK we know and love?

It's hard to tell from the quality, but they look just like the Colecovision final version to me. Possibly Donkey Kong himself looks a little different, but I can't tell.

Funny thing is when it show the 3 boxes (CV, atari, Intv) these are the early boxes

CV box is Blue and the Intv box is Gray

This is the Donkey Kong box you can see on that Arnold Greenberg photo showing the purple system box

A couple things I noticed in the spot, too... The first 'game screen' shot (as well as the actual TV over the real Mario's shoulder) is missing the clocks and scoreboard. And while I can't make out the joystick very well, it appears the guy is playing using either the keypad or a gamedisc on the lower part a la Intellivision.

Interesting.. Good catch on the timer controller. I'll have to watch it again closer.
