People are joking about hardware hackers but some of them might actually use these screens for projects. The cost of the 2DS is pretty low so I would be interested in seeing what people do with these things.
This. I can imagine when the 3(2)DS Homebrew goes public, a modder can, well, mod the shell and expose the screen to play fullscreen video.

Technically, "DS" stands for "Developer's System". :tpi:


It may be a lie, but it's comfortable and convenient, damn it! You and your cold facts can't take this from me.

And while we're on the subject, I seriously have to wonder what's going on with Nintendo? I mean, first the Wii U has one screen too many, now the 2DS has one too little. What's the deal? A factory mishap or something? Jeez, get your shit together, guys, you're losing it.

But That Big LCD of 2ds Is A Touchscreen? Or NOt?
Think of it this way, the screen is just one huge screen. The bottom part has a sticker on it, the sticker registers the touches. The upper part doesn't have that sticker, and thus can't register touches.

It's not, it's just a screen. When the casing is closed, the lower half is covered with a touch-sensitive transparent film that registers touch. Just like on the DS. It looks like this:

glad i saw a review on this. this system is made for kids. also if the kids are fat i don't think they can play it because they have chubby fingers or something.
