I think I might pull the plug on a Sky3DS...
What I'm about to point out is off-topic, but "pulling the plug" on something usually means:
- To end.
- To disable.
- To put an end to someones plans.
- To kill.

You might have noticed that the phrase usually has a negative meaning. It does not usually mean "to buy".

Note, I'm not making fun of you or being mean. I legitimately am just trying to inform you.
And that ends today's episode of Grammar At GBATemp!

"Pull the Trigger" I think was the intended phrase.

I have no idea what I will do when the GW N3DS update is released. It won't be the same without checking and refreshing this thread.

Sky3DS is built on a terrible business model (game limit red button, hey! Now with blue button give us $$ again). The thing they got right though is it works and it works right now! Who knows if it will work on FW 9.6+, or if it will support N3DS exclusive games, or if cards/systems will be banned. For the price and the back catalogue of games you can play it's now a no brainer. GW is that luxury model that does a million different things and does them well.... When they actually release shit. It's likely that GW won't support 9.3+ out of the box so once N3DS start shipping with FW 9.4+ (sorry Red model in Canada) your only option will be Sky.

I have a GW and I'm waiting, but that's because I only have a handful of games I want to play and I can live without it for awhile. If anything I have got my money's worth via entertainment in waiting. You just can't buy this kind of anticipation and rage. ;)

I meant "pull the plug and buy a Sky3DS" which would have me "pulling the plug" on me waiting for GW. Sorry if I was confusing.

[edit]

Either that or "pull the trigger" on buying the Sky3DS. Don't recall what I was thinking.

Take the plunge also works but yes, "Pull the trigger" by all means.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
