Nope. At least I don't think so. I have my trusty original, regular DS and I may get the 3DS if a LOT of games I'm really interested in show up. I'm not interested in spending anymore money on video games anymore, -shrugs-.

Yeah, I got mine monday. Not much to say until I get more games.


On the price, though, I heard that the price might go up

Got mine.

Eagerly awaiting the release of the games I actually want, like the 3DS virtual console, Ocarina of Time, and Paper Mario...

So, the launch was this past Sunday, and today is my first day off from work since. And...I officially miss work. I was having a ball walking around my store when we weren't busy and doing demos and shit like that.

I voted maybe though. For starters, WAY too expensive for me now. Even if the price doesn't drop for a LONG time I just simply can't afford 250 right now. But also, I can't seem to get used to it. Perhaps it's because I'm not just sitting and playing, I'm actually working, so I have to walk around my store, act as though it's all one big presentation, so I'm taking others into account as well. But I dunno.

But, it is fun. There's no denying that. And the titles for the system have me a bit excited. I'm not gonna lie, I don't have enough time to play handhelds like I used to (as Gurren mentioned as well, I believe.) but I do leave my DS and PSP on my bed, and typically play for about 20 minutes or so before falling asleep. (which doesn't justify me spending 250 on a handheld anyway, I guess.)

Play N Trade. Which is like a Gamestop without the exclusives. Called me today and said seen how I was a part of their exclusive gamer program. I won myself a 3DS and a $100 giftcard.

I'll be picking my 3DS tomorrow. Also I will be saving my giftcard for MGS3D (Metal Gear Solid 3 3D)

I'll be picking it up tomorrow before work. Can't believe I actually won a 3DS

That would be Gunpei, and he's deader than a doornail.

Gunpei Yoko? I could have sworn it was Shigeru Miyamoto...

Regardless, the guy I'm thinking of is the one who made the GameBoy. So... Yeah >.>

Both Sony and Nintendo are being pretty bad about the hacking thing thesedays. Their attitude about it is surely only encouraging people to see how fast they can crack this stuff. I think they already had R4 units out for the 3DS the day it came out, and the PS3 is always getting hacked after any and all updates. It's really a lost cause on their part and they should probably cool off about it someday...

Gunpei Yokoi was the man, also infamous for creating the GB and Metroid. I wonder what he'd think of Nintendo today, lol.

Gunpei Yokoi was the one behind the Virtual Boy.

And he died long before Wii Fit could have ever been made - car accident in 1997.

So I honestly don't know what you're talking about here.

It would probably be something that I would use if I had a Wii, but again, I don't.

I'll probably re-buy my old DS for castlevania and resident evil, but this whole "You break it, we brick it" thing is kinda BS.

I have no problems that if you have a system set up that allows a trades vendor to see if it was jailbroken, and then deny purchasing of said system. That sounds legit, but irritates me is the idea of bricking the product because of breaking it.

I don't care who you are, if your arrogant enough to brick your product because your so ass hurt, and paranoid, that someone is going to improve your hand-me-down parts of a produt, then maybe you should fall out of the gamer world, and let the real designers move it.

I only get Nintendo portables to play the Pokemon RPGs on them so I will wait tell one of them comes out for it. However, I am more interested in the NGP can do so depending on the launch date and/or price I will be probably be end up buying that.

I have it pre-ordered, since my tax check left me with a good chunk to put toward it.

Better to get it while I have the money.

The launch lineup looks pretty weak anyways. I'll wait for Zelda, or more importantly... if I ever have money!

Ah, I see. Thanks. It's still kinda spendy though... I think I'll wait for the price to drop to $200 and then maybe I'll get it.
