Is this subject still going on?!
I was a CPP hater, but got one when revelations came out as I knew being a lefty I'd need one for Uprising and I wouldn't have the money then.
I tried it, and went 'that's pretty comfortable- maybe I'll keep it in my bag if I'm taking a game I need it for with me'. When clearly what I should have done is try to stuff it into my pocket violently whilst doing lunges and yelling "curse you Nintendo! Why couldn't you make a Vita! My pockets are all tearing away!"
I'm a sucker though- I had a magnifier and light for my GB/GBC, and an AC adapter for my GBA. Because although they hindered the portability they enhanced what was already there. In fact my GB wouldn't fit in a pocket and the games were the size of some phones...
You kids don't know you're born......
This.
Qft, my sentiments exactly. Granted, I've yet to pick up a 3DS with a CPP, but I don't think it could be that terrible. It looks like it greatly increases the ergonomics, and while it reduces portability, not everything in it's first iteration is very portable.
Car phones, anyone? I may still be a young'un (I'll be 20 in a week) but When I was young my parents still had one in their Infiniti G20. It worked great, it was just big, and you obviously couldn't take it out of the car. A few years later they got their first cell phones - these giant Motorola ones. Yeah, you couldn't fit those in your pocket, you needed a case or something for them, but hey, they worked.
Though it is still kidna fun to crack jokes about it, lol.
