Actually should unplug it and save on power too.
@ Intangible
I was once like you: a hardcore Nintendo fan, since the NES... but the Wii's lack of games sent me into the arms of the PS3, 1 months ago.
Now I dwell in her safe bosom and as I suckle on her teat, I know this is gaming.
I guess the point I’m trying to make here is, ghost120XH, stop being a corporate sheep and stop buying into what today’s “fad” is. That’s why the Wii, and DS are selling so well; it’s because people like you have to go run out and buy the next “in” product “because everyone else has one.” Be an individual; demand quality because you deserve it! Or continue to be a mindless stereotype, and thus would end all hopes to reason with you.
Intangible_Cog, you said you were not trying to start a flame war, yet you post 8 posts flaming the DS and Nintendo.
I don't see why you should get all riled up about someone negatively criticizing your system. If you like it enough, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks, right? Or do you feel you need to defend it because, as the great Yahtzee Croshaw once said, and this can be applicable to systems as well as games, "if you feel like you have to defend a game that you've purchased your only trying to convince yourself that it's fun because there's always that snickering little doubt in the back of your mind saying that maybe your not having as much fun as you think you are" (generalized quote).
I don't want to start a big argument over this but Sony has managed to put a media player, internet browser, and even provide feature films (via UMD) for their PSP. Why is it that Nintendo is stuck in the last generation!? When I heard that Nintendo was going to come out with a new DS I was jumping for joy! The Nintendo fan inside of me was happy once more, until they stabbed me in the back by showing off the same DS but with a camera. Seriously, who is going to use a camera on their DS?
I've seen c o c kroaches act in a more intelligent manner than you.
If you come into a room and punch someone in the face, then you tell him you don't want to fight, and then you punch him again, what would you expect the guy to do?
You attack the DS, and say you don't want a flame war. Then ghost120XH posts a comment that you disagree with and you attack him. And yet you want to "reason" with him? Are you stupid?
You are so ignorant, that don't seem to realize that the DS has had wi fi for a very long time already. The psp doesn't even have a camera. It's an add-on accessory that doesn't even exist in the US yet. SD card slot you say? Since when does the psp have that? As far as I know, it has a memory stick slot, not SD. Does the psp have a touchscreen? NO. 16 bit games, huh? What a misinformed douche! FYI the DS is supposed to be approximately as powerful as the N64.
And did you miss all the complaints from sony of how the psp lacks 3rd party support? I can go on and on about this, but it's not worth my time. My point here is that you are talking out of your ass simply because you can. All your claims are false.
I love the psp. I've said this many times around here. I was poised to buy one, but unfortunately ghost120XH is right: most psp games are ps2 ports. The other features it has are of no use to me because I already have other devices that offer them too.
Did you watch the video? Reggie said it himself: it's not intended to replace an actual digital camera. It's another feature that they can use for gaming purposes. It gives developers more options to work with. It's there for "entertainment" purposes. I predict gimmicks on that one, to be honest with you. We've seen those with the microphone (blow to turn off candles or torches), and flip screens (close them to make marks or embossings)
UMD is a failed format when it comes to movies. Obviously nintendo won't follow that road.
And wait, you complain about the DS media player, yet you praise sony for having one on the psp? Uhhh... I don't know what to make out of that. BTW, the ds has a web browser too.
I agree with you on the graphics part. Unfortunately, I don't think it's doable, unless they sacrifice compatibility.
I don't have high hopes for it myself. That's why I'll keep my DS lite.
You did not literally say "nintendo sucks and sony rules", but saying things like "Way to go Nintendo, for copying the PSP" clearly imply it. You said many things that implied it, and bashed nintendo systems with claims that you did not even know were true, and weren't. I'm sorry if I called you names. But your comments were very condescending, and could have enfuriated any nintendo fan. Not because of their loyalty to the company, but because of the way you put things. I will be the first one to admit that Nintendo is not perfect. But then again, all three company's have their ups and downs.
BTW, an SD card and a memory stick are NOT the same. They serve the same purpose, but they are not compatible. An SD card is also much cheaper and are available in higher capacity because it's more of a general purpose removable storage device;whereas a memory stick is sony's proprietary format.
Also, the psp still supports only Memory sticks, not SD cards.
- you think it's a different charger from DS Lite?
- is recording video's possible???
-also wut did he mean when he said at 3:33 "we recently announced a mecinism.." what is this?
also, free web browser baby!
