Stuff doesn't just go up because there is a high demand. Unless its gas. But there is already many deals for the DS going on around me, in all the flyers I've looked at, theres at least been lower prices or cheap bundle deals (Game, carrying case). Keep your eyes open because the prices are already falling.

Not sure if the sale is still on but I read brandsmart were selling the DS for $88 earlier this week

I was looking at the blackfriday sales fliers but that price caught my eye

Somehow I doubt the person is going to actually follow through with their bet.

My prediction is that you'll see maybe $10 cheaper DS Lites, but probably more likely that you'll see lots of DS Lite bundles.

You probably won't see any ridiculous deals - in Canada most stores have promos for it at $139CDN. (approx $120USD, 94EUR or 64GPB) That's about as cheap as I expect it to go until boxing day, where various stores will probably have special deals on it.

I've seen many stores selling it at full price ($149CDN), but hawking a free game with it - I've seen bundles with Pokemon Trozei!, New Super Mario Bros, Clubhouse Games, Starfox Assault and Mario Hoops 3-on-3.

Basically, you're not going to find it for a whole lot cheaper than it sells for now.

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.
