[quote name='BlueScrote']I'm in the same boat. Added you on XBL, as I am addicted to BF:BC2 as well.

I'm somewhat interested in how PD will turn out, as I kind of missed the boat on it, after being burned out on Goldeneye.[/QUOTE]

I didn't think PD was very good when it came out. But if you want nostalgia for the bond multiplayer in HD, the closest you'll ever get is PD.
 
[quote name='TomJones4']Have my gameboy micro which works really well for gba games. Best portable ever.[/QUOTE]
I'll have to disagree with you. It's probably one of the worst portable.

[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']I literally can't believe they already released a another DS redesign[/QUOTE]
You can't believe Nintendo wants money?

If they didn't Nintendo wouldn't put this out.

People are strange like that.

DSi XL would be tempting if it was like $100.
 
I'mma play summa dat Pokemanz SOULSILVERZ on it.

Also, I'd love to see Square Enix announce FF7 remake on DS, using the same engine that FF4 DS used, just for the reaction alone.
 
[quote name='ninja dog']eh, it's just like the game boy micro. Cool, but not entirely necessary.[/QUOTE]
I think that depends on what DS you currently own. I still own the DS Phat and having been debating on picking up a DSi for a while. But I will probably end up with the XL since I prefer a large portable to something as small as the DSi.
 
If you have the Phat still, at least get a Lite. I upgraded the day the Lite hit, no regrets at all. Lite smokes the Phat in every way, IMO.

XL be pimpin' with dem big azz screenz tho, yo.
 
I kept the Phat because the DS lite didn't really offer me anything new. I also didn't really enjoy the feel of the lite so I never got one.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']It's all about dem screenz on dat Lite. They were just night and day better than the Phat. I traded in my Phat the next day.[/QUOTE]


This.
Also Micro is the best because of how small it is.
 
I got a lite a couple of months after it dropped for $60 new (it is bright pink, though) and it is one of the few things that I honestly wouldn't have minded paying more for. I just wish I could download DSi games on it.
 
[quote name='dallow']Micro is the best.

Everytime I pick it up to play some GBA games I can't believe how small it is.[/QUOTE]

I'd love to get rid of these GBA SPs and grab a micro instead, if that. Something just feels off about playing GBA games on a DS lite.

I agree, but I don't like the micro as much as the SP, personally. The SP just feels better in my hands.

I want to be nitpicky and say that the Phat has better speakers. Also, the Lite likes to break its hinges a lot.

Still, if you want decent sound you should already be using headphones anyway.

And yeah, the Lite is way better.
 
I tried playing Gunstar Heroes on a Micro...it was unwieldy and the screen quality didn't seem like it was all that crisp and nice.

The DSi and XL just seem like bad deals to me since you lose the GBA slot. I guess your opinion depends on if you've moved on from GBA games or not.
 
[quote name='TomJones4']TAlso Micro is the best because of how small it is.[/QUOTE]
Funny, Thats why I think it's a piece of garbage. It was just made to be a stop gap until... well the next stop gap that just happened to take off(The DS). I'd say it was just as bad as the PSPgo but Nintendo didn't charge an insane amount of money for it.

[quote name='ninja dog']The DSi and XL just seem like bad deals to me since you lose the GBA slot. I guess your opinion depends on if you've moved on from GBA games or not.[/QUOTE]
I've got the GBplayer, GBA and a DS Phat.
 
This one time, a horse kicked me in the head and I was like, "at least I didn't just spend $250 on a digital-only game system".

Getting rid of my DS lite for an XL preorder was easy once I realized that I hadn't played any GBA games in at least six months. I still have a GB Player hooked up to my old Gamecube via component cables so I'm set for most games. I don't really "port" any portable systems, I just look at them as new libraries of games to play at home.

[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']Keep telling yourself that.[/QUOTE]

Paying 250 dollars for a system you cant use any of your games on, and you are locked to a specific retailer selling you those games for MSRP, and never come out on release date, and some games dont come out at all?

Biggest failure of all time.
 
The only way the PSP Go would be even remotely tempting to me would be if it had
CFW
preinstalled on it. And that won't happen.

I don't even own a PSP, but I'd buy a 3000 over a Go any day of the week.

Yes I see your point but those were either limited, or for kiddies.
Plus the wii is not a bad system, its just like the gamecube with waggle.

Also game.com has batman and robin which is more awesome then just about anything.

The N-Gage looks like a taco, and can be used as a phone which makes it better then the psp.
 
Jizzmondo sucked.
Ngage sucked.
Game.com sucked.
Wii kinda sucks. It has like, 5 games total that I'd even want to play. At least it has those 5 games though.

I don't agree it's the biggest failure of all time, but the PSP Go still sucks ass.
 
Who's all going to be attending a GoW3 midnight release? I'm going to be at my local GS waiting in line playing Pokemon on my Pink DS. I'm that hardcore.

They told me I should show up around 10:30, which seems really early considering that the only people that will be there are people on the army base... and I can't imagine more than 30 other people being there, tops.

I'm not working this midnight for once, so I'm not sure if I'll go. I live less than a 10 minute drive from there anyway, so I might stop in.

You shut your mouth. Some of us aren't fortunate enough to have midnight releases near us. :(

Honestly the only problems I have with the Go are the price($200 would have been a decent price) And the lack of new games. They should at least try and get publishers to release games closer to the retail release dates. I can live with paying MSRP for the few PSP games I buy.

Nope, I work overnights so I'll have to wait until I wake up tomorrow afternoon to pick GoW 3 and Metro 2033 up. If it weren't for the fact I was meeting my new manager today I might call out.

Not being able to get UMDs on the Go is the biggest problem with it, that and the price. And those rumors were false.

Mall stores only do midnights for really big titles like GTA and CoD because the company has to pay for the mall security and other things since the mall has to stay open.

I did get to tinker with a Go a week ago since a friend of mine bought one. It feels weird to hold.

Ah, that explains the mall launches.

There's one 30+ minutes out, depending on how you go, but my preorder isn't there, so that's pain point #1, the rest of the stores are 50+ minutes away. Pain point #2 is that I'd actually like to PLAY the game tonight if I get it. By the time I get home from the one that's doing a midnight event, it will be around, if not later, than 1am. By the time I get started, I'd need to be in bed.

I'm entirely tempted to go check out walmart and get one there instead. But who even knows if they'd put it out right at midnight.

The mall 10 minutes down the road has a BB with an external entrance, however, the store isn't doing anything for GOW3. I think the last game they did it for was Gears 2.
