yea but it was a bit slack

Well it's still pretty good. I have it, and the size does add to the quality of gameplay.

watch, they are going to come up with a Nintendo 3DS lite... just wait.... juuuuust wait.

and nintendo 3ds xl

Nintendo 3DS's top screen is already too large, and it weighs less than the DSi...

yes anyway everyone can't wait for it's release!
even though i think the XL was pointless the 3ds will not be a waste of time it will be a gaming revolution!

Yes indeed. People are comparing it to the PSP2 with that touch screen and powerful engine, but the features the 3DS offer are way to good to pass up.

the psp2 i have a feeling it may not be as good as the 3ds but it will be pretty big!
(i am excited)
(maybe a little big planet 3!)

Ha the second wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. Now all I want to know is if the PSP2's screen supports multi-touch. Then, it'd be worth it, but I would still want the 3DS for the reasons I listed above.

the newest one on ps3 is the one i am talking about it is pretty cool!
i hope little big planet will come out on 3ds
(i do not own a ps3!)

Haha, you know LG is suing Sony for some patent issues with the blueray player. If it ends badly, the PS3 could be discontinued! xD

I think NGP (PSP2) is much better than 3ds. 4-core 3 ghz CPU! My old PC was worse than this))

@Enchanter who still buys a PS3 lol

@Internazionale-1908: Haven't we learned already that power in consoles doesn't matter? When it was a choice between the gameboy with lower hardware and the NeoGeo with better hardware, which won? Um, the gameboy, of course. Although the NGP does have some nice features (touch screen is good, but unoriginal) the 3DS will steal the limelight here, no doubt about it.

@Howitz: Haha I know, right? Well, it might cancel some of the online services like the arcade and shopping network.

hey guys i just found out that the 3ds can play mp3 files so no more ipod!

Ya You didn't know that?

By the way, the DSi could already play AAC files. With iTunes, you can convert ANY file to AAC by right-clicking it. Then, you can drag the files over to your SD card. The function already existed, but it now has MP3 support.

Hey all. Release was yesterday (or two days ago if you're in Europe). Whoever bought please post their friend code.

Here's mine: 2492-4126-2289

mmm... i have $400... wonder if its worth it. I still need a new laptop

It's pretty darn awesome. Fighting a dragon on my dining-room table is so fun. The 3D is unbelievably not crappy.

Is it worth it?

I don't buy nintento products, I believe the ultimate portable gaming consoles are the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad. For some reason,I still prefer PC to Mac.

Yes, PC's are better. Especially because they have so much more software.

Yes, Linux is better. Especially since it comes with so much more free software that isn't whimpy or lame, or so incredibly bulky that it crashes the operating system constantly.

So far, Windows 7 has never crashed on me. I've never tried Linux or Unix except for through the Terminal on OSX.

OSX terminal =/= Linux
OSX terminal isn't even Unix completely.

It took a long time for me, too. But Windows 7 has been acting strange for me of late.
Possibly the best install of Windows I have is my Windows Vista, which I've never really hooked to the Internet. Very fast and nice. Hardly ever crashes, either. I think all the security updates and stuff slow Windows down a lot.

nintendo on windows i noes how it is possible!
clue: you r a pirate!

Yeah, I got one of the new Windows 7 machines with the i7 processor. It hardly ever lags, even on the Infinitive Windows Freezer!

how much is a good laptop? nintendo3ds isn't a good idea anymore

edit: thats NOT a mac!

sorry if its a little off topic! my old one blew up :/

Blew up? Literally? As in a battery puncture?

Kind of...

basically there is no chance of repairs, i shall leave it at that
