Really? I like the blue model far more than the black model.

Dunno if this was mentioned before, I can't be bothered to look back 9 pages, but is there a wifi symbol on any of the game boxes?

the icon in the bottom right of these game covers is the age rating but the soccer game has an icon in the top right that may be a "wifi-enabled" icon
Not on the NA version.

Huh according to the 3rd video we can't just plug the charger into the 3DS. We have to use the charging cradle. That's just great since I have like no place to put the cradle. Junk everywhere. Guess it's time to clean my stuff up.

And jesus christ. They said its about 3000 HKD right now Hong Kong. That is roughly $500 USD (actually a lot less than that but I'm too lazy to try to divide 3000 by 6.75 or whatever the rate is).

nice to see that the icon in the menu is different for 3ds games being inserted and ds/i games being inserted (white icon for 3ds games and i'd assume the regular grey/black one that the dsi menu uses for ds/i games inserted)

edit: the nub looks kind of wierd, maybe it's just the photo but it looks like a creamy sort of color which wouldn't really go with blue very well (but then again, i should probably wait to have one in my hands before i judge it)
I think it might be some sort of protector, like one of those PSP analog nub protectors.

Much as I'm all "wait until games I want are out" and "THREE HUNNERD DOLLERS FOR A HANDHELD" seeing stuff like this makes me really wish I had one, just for the shiny new consoleness of it. I love getting new stuff.

Damn, I didn't realize that Nintendo might have put an bricking feature for anti-piracy. No wonder no one's trying out their flash carts, it would suck to be the first guy to lose a $300 console like that.

You could you know, brick the console and then take it back to the store and ask for a replacement if it's under a warranty. All you have to say is something like "my 3DS won't turn on".

i would seriously doubt tht nintendo does something like tht... maybe they can ban your ds from accessing nintendo wifi servers for online gaming... tht would be logical but this is kinda overboard (nintendo's not like tht at least i think so)

Did Nintendo tell you that? You know, you really shouldn't go presuming things. DS flashcarts didn't work with the DSi and loads of people tried running their old flashcarts on the DSi and none of them bricked. If the 3DS doesn't read the flashcarts, of course it won't brick it.
You shouldn't go presuming things either. It's highly unlikely but it's not a completely impossibility. In the same way you can say of course my house won't fill with jelly, it's very unlikely but it may still happen.
You're presuming just as much as he is and until someone tests it there may be a chance that there is software or hardware set to disable if a cart attempts to fake the security checks.

wtf.gif
What even gave you the idea of using jelly huh .

They haven't put any bricking feature. I'm sure because it's illegal to do so.

Didn't they do that for the Wii? Bricking region changed Korean Wiis with a 003 error when they were updated to 4.2/4.3?

WHAT? Did you mean 'Changing region bricked Korean Wii's?' Yes that is true but inserting a flashcart in the 3DS is like inserting a backed up DVD in the Wii.

The Wii never bricked unless you fucked something up in the IOS's, with the exception of 1 serial range and even still, you had to edit the IOS's. I think with that serial range you could still hardmod it.

Nintendo wouldn't put auto-bricking in a launch model.

    @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".

    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.

    @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

  • 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."

    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
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
