3DS Graphics to Rival the PS3

[Smugleaf]

tye. I think you need an intervention.

Why? Because I buy the products I love?

You spend $100 on a product with only tiny diffrences to the last

If you're talking about the DSi XL, it was $189.99, and worth every cent. Those 4.2-inch screens... I tell you, once you go XL, you don't go back. I don't know how I'm gonna be able to play the 3DS since its screens won't be as big as the DSi XL's. XD

The 3DS's screen is supposed to be around 4 inches, the DSi XL's screen is 4.2 inches.

Where did you hear that? I've only heard that it won't be as big as the DSi XL's screens. I guess I could handle a loss of .2 inches, lol.

I read somewhere that the DSi could technically pull off close to the ps3 if you know... you heavily hacked it...

It actually makes sense whats rumlured to be done, to make the graphics stereoscopic 3D nintendo put 2 graphics cards in there which could pull off a combined resolution close to the ps3...

But half of that will be lost in the upscaling, and i doubt you'd be able to manipulate it so you could run a higher resolution in 3D...

So its back to 'slightly better than wii'

What are you calling a "waste"?

Haha wow, guess I am not the only one who has the original DS. Still works great and is just missing paint from corners from over using so much. xD

How do you keep yours in working condition?
I barely use my Lite and the hinge broke ;-;

Idk, not drop it... It really doesnt get a whole lot of use out of it except for vacations or there is a certain game I want to play. Don't know what to tell ya, some things just break for no good or apparent reason. Ive heard that the hinges on on the lite tend to break easier for some reason.

I think it's true. Happened to two people I know with DS lites. :<

 

[Bulerias]

I don't understand how you guys break consoles like that. Cracked hinges? What do you do, rip the clamshell open?

Its just mainly with the Lites I think, I work at GameStop and someone who bought a brand new one came in shortly after to replace it, all they did was open it and the hinge cracked... I have been hearing more about it lately with the Lites... weird...

The DS has good games, but I'm not impressed about the reliability of the consoles. My regular DS's top screen just fell off one day, my brothers DS's top screen almost fell off, and the whole thing quit working. My DS lite's L and R buttons don't work right, and my brothers first DS lite's hinges cracked and quit working.

Nintendo has never had a system with any sort of graphical or processing power. Why would it start now?

Umm? Have you forgotten Nintendo's "now you're playing with power" slogan? The NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube were all competitive graphically. The first three were actually the most powerful, main-stream consoles of their respective gens.

Gamecube? Graphically competitive? Have you ever played PS2 or Xbox?

PS2 did not have better graphics than Gamecube. XBox yes. The Gamecube was graphically competitive enough.

I still have the original DS, everything still works great mwauhahaha!

I extremely disagree with your circumstances. The reliability is great for me. Nothing has happened to any of my Nintendo handhelds/consoles. The problem is the way you are handling them. -_-

Nope. I take good care of the consoles. They just seem to break down easily for ME.

Same. I haven't played it in a while though.

OK, so... I am really excited about this thing. I'm hoping there is a leak or two in the days leading up to E3! Also, apparently third parties have been given the green light to post press releases about 3DS games the first day of E3, **before** Nintendo's conference...

That's a little cheeky, before Nintendo's one at least.

It's also completely like something nintendo would do...

If this meets the expectations I will eat the peanuts out of my own *censored.2.0*.

If that happens, you better stream it.

I understand that but every year Nintendo makes a hand-held that is only updated with higher quality or some new updates and you are paying the 200 bucks but the games are cheap.

I hope they don't go that route again, but who am I kidding. It's the way of the future. I'm proud to say I still own the original DS, and have not upgraded to the Lite, i, or i XL.

The only reason I upgraded to a Lite (last Christmas) was because my original DS broke. I don't see why people actually bought multiple versions of the same system. >_<

Same here, the hinges on mine broke, otherwise I'd still have the original silver DS Phat.
