Nintendo 3DS Release Date and Price Revealed!

[Tyeforce]

Lol at Tye assuming everyone has Dial-Up.

I know it's not dial-up, but it has to be pretty darn slow for my avatar and signature to make your browser lag. Either that or it's your computer. But I didn't have a problem with it at all, even at school, where their Wi-Fi is slow as hell.

Translation:

"Lalalala, y'all *****es is crazy. I ain't never in the wrong."

I didn't mean it like that. >_> I'm just irritated because I was forced to change it (because someone reported me for it...). But I didn't realize that it was over the file size limit, so I'll admit I was in the wrong. And I know that some people have no control over how fast or slow their computers run, so I shouldn't have lashed out like that. My apologies.

Also, price is too much. would rather pick up a ps3 as a bluray player, or even a new camera lens if i was planning on spending 300 bucks on something.

It won't be $300.

i dont give a *censored.2.0* 250-300 is a lot for a little portable thing. *censored.3.0*in fanboy.

Partly why the PSP Go sucks.

Then again, it was destined to fail when no UMD add-on was announced.

The 3DS sales will probably skyrocket regardless.

And Tye, your signature did lag my computer and it's usually pretty fast. I think having to load 600x6 images just for one post is going to lag anything.

For a limited time. If you spent about a minute viewing a page of posts with Tye having three+ posts on said page, the page lags greatly after about ten-thirty seconds.

This has relevance... because?

Yeah, just a quick note here... the whole portable aspect of handheld gaming is vastly overrated for anyone who is in any way, shape or form a social person. Why play videogames on a tiny screen when the entire world is around you? I think the only time I have ever played the DS outside of my house or a car-trip was during a 4 hour wait in-between classes...and just once, at that.

I'm anticipating "oh, but then explain why so many people are texting all the time!!", and the answer to that is: as dumb as texting is (in my humble opinion), it also happens to be a form of communication. Even though it looks like everybody's got their nose in their cell phone, they're still communicating in some -- albeit inferior -- way. With gaming, it hasn't reached that point of saturation where almost everybody has a portable console and anybody can just play multiplayer. I highly doubt any dedicated gaming platform will reach that level of saturation -- it will undoubtedly be a hybrid device.

As much as it pains me to say it, REAL portable gaming will be found on devices like the iPhone. But let me make something clear -- I don't see the point of "real" portable gaming in the first place and prefer console experiences, like the DS began to offer and like the 3DS is expanding upon.

Not everyone is the same as you Bul. I prefer handhelds to home consoles.

And how in the hell does your preference have any bearing on what I said? You prefer handheld gaming, great. You should get an iPhone, because that's where the real handheld, bite-size gaming is going to be. It's not my opinion, it's just an observation.

I was just pointing out that this is not the first time a handheld has costed this much. I don't even remember anyone complaining about the PSP's price.

Also, why would I do that, i'd rather play real games, not micro ones.

Oh ok

Tom is sad because he was a nobody who got a PSP with all his friends at launch. ;-;

But then again, there were really no games at launch.

Ps3 has no frikin' gaymes~



Sonys' commercials are so stupid/odd.
Wiis' suck now that they got rid of the Asian guys.

 

[Bulerias]

Yep, Tom, you just proved my point. The PSP has meatier games that are, y'know, more like console games. Whereas, if you take away the bad-mouthing from the ad, it's basically saying that the iPhone has much lighter fare. Which is...exactly right. The 3DS is continuing on the console/portable hybrid path...
