You may commence the bawwing. You have to admit that the burgundy color is pretty nice, though.

What's to cry about?

Luigison and Deezer have already ordered theirs.

The thing to cry about is the fact that the system is enormous (probably won't be fitting in your pocket), has the same resolution as the smaller-screened system, and costs ~$200.

you of all people should know.

Like, those who bought the original and think they're getting gipped because there's has a smaller screen or doesn't have pre-installed software.

If anything, I'd have expected people to BAWWW over the fact that Nintendo is revamping a months-old product purely for aesthetic appeal. Of course, this is coming from one who believes that buying a GBA-incompatible DSi is lunacy to begin with.

A bigger screen is cool but the fact that the pixels are simply larger is lame. But understandable? seeing as how they don't seem to feel like actually making a new system or anything.
I can't really remember the last time I played a GBA game on my DS so Weegee's post has no meaning for me.

That's four models... FOUR MODELS... How does my least liked Nintendo console get this many rereleases, while the Gamecube and Wii still don't get at the very least a second model with DVD capabilities?

Wii technically has DVD capabilities. You just have to run a homebrew program for it. But why? Everyone has a PS2 and a computer and a DVD player anyway. Why do you need to have one on Wii just so it gets included in redundancy?

Why CrossEyed, why?

And yes Chup, I did know that, but what was the point of disabling DVD playability?

It's a game console.

There was also something to do with paying a licensing fee for that feature, which I guess would've driven up the price slightly.

You're absolutely right, I'm sorry I questioned you. (and I'm not saying this sarcastically, I'm seriously apologetic)

Part of the reason I don't want a PS3 is because of its Blu-Ray capabilities. Check out Hellsing 920's Blu-Ray rant to see why it sucks.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #14 on:** October 29, 2009, 10:41:03 PM »

I'm not going to, because Blu-Ray is fine with me especially since it can store so much. And PS3 is getting The Last Guardian.
