The release lineup is definitively weak, and on top of that, they did not manage on time with Internet Browser and eShop.

I mean, they've already had a perfectly working Opera on DS and DSi, using the same ARM architecture. How f---ing difficult is it to port it to 3DS, especially it uses the OpenGL standard to display graphics ?
I know people have opinions, but I just think you are being really bias or either you do not have any patients.

The DSi browser was slow and yuck.
I think the 3DS browser is being built from the ground, and by Nintendo themselves.

Opera is one of the fastest browsers on the market. I guess they couldn't make more out of DSi's poor hardware.

opera's PC browser may be fast.
Mini isn't.

Browser Speed Tests: iPhone's Mobile Safari vs. Opera Mini

Browser Speed TestsYou will, however, notice the considerably faster page loads when you're using Opera Mini, and with the web, speed is everything. If Opera could keep the speed and fix some of the rough edges, it could be really impressive.
Again: Opera Mini was so slow on DS(i) because the underlying hardware was so weak.

I'd rather have a slow but DOM compliant browser than one than that can't even display a webpage correctly, but is blazing fast. And plus, for iPhone there are better alternatives out there (my Safs is tweaked with Cydia mods because I love Safari on iDevices) - paid though (some are free too).

As for the DSi browser, that's true. But the PSP one was really weak too, and it has better hardware (it wasn't Opera Mini based though). I just hope they implement a decent browser for the 3DS, though most of my browsing will pass through iDevices/my PC because of the screen resolution.

That does look pretty weak. I won't buy the system when it is first released. I will wait for some decent games, a pricedrop, and a way to download games. i don't want to pay for star fox again for the third time or zelda oot for the fourth.

    @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

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    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.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @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
