Return it if you're not pleased?

I quite like this Edition, so I want to get one. If having IPS screen then it's a big plus. There is no info about screen type and serial number yet so, no point exchange or return and may end up without one when they're sold out the next few days (as special editions usually do).

Did anyone pre-order through Amazon and picked the 2 day shipping option? As a prime member I did, it just said it was shipped, and the expected delivery date somehow went from today to Monday, the 31st.

That sucks. Mine was shipped out at the end of Wednesday by Best Buy! And I don't have paid account with Best Buy! So basically you paid for Amazon to ship at a later date than supposed release date! :ohnoes:

Hope you get IPS to compensate for that.

I'll be getting mine through gamestop tomorrow. It's a gift, though, so I won't be able to check until their birthday (nov 18th). I'll try and check back then to report.

Is it a big difference between TN and IPS screen? I feel like it's useless discussion about it.

It's a big difference in viewing angles, and a bit of a difference in colour accuracy. It's definitely the better quality screen. The best way to tell the difference is to put them side by side. It's harder to describe than it is to show. It's better, it's just not game-changing.

I don't really mind myself. However as other said: on the New 3DS XL the quality different is more noticeable even on slightly off angle.

See this photo http://s1244.photobucket.com/user/k...C-421C-AE80-9A7C0988D94F_zpsgt61ja7x.jpg.html

It's not something I'll lose sleep over, but if having IPS panel top is great bonus for this edition. Posted the info in case someone who haven't bought it can gamble on different serial number in case they may get lucky with an IPS on

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    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.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    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

    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

    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.

  • 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
