> Calling a handheld console a phone.
> Praise.

Fine, let's assume I misinterpreted you, and if that's the case, I do apologize. The way you worded it did not make it sound like praise at all. ;)

EDIT: Wait... I... think I get it...

"Now, the PS Vita is to a Phone" was meant to be "Vita is now a phone too"?

See, this is how simple word order mistakes change the meaning entirely - if this is what you wanted to say, I'm really sorry for being a complete doofus, it JUST occured to me.

Gambia, The
skype arrived in germany, and i think its a huge improvement to the vita itself.
but it wouldnt be the internet, if i wouldnt bitch about it atleast a bit, so here are my points:

- i couldnt seem to find a way to list my friendslist the way its supposed to be. i.e. the contacts currently online on top and after them the ones not online in alphabetical order.
- the games i used to play (uncharted, gravity daze, ragnarok odyssey) disable the "network fuktionalities" while in game, which is a bummer. at least thats not the case with wipeout and unit thirteen. unfortunatly dont have more games to test.
- would be great if on my psn-friendslist their entries would get their skype-ids mentioned, so i copuld add them in skype (as long as they want to share it, of course)

but lets be honest. skype on the vita is great and yes, i would aswell like to see this on my 3ds

Once again I'll ask a question that is relevant to the thread:

If any of you have a 3G-Enabled Vita, do report as to whether or not the application works with 3G connections or is it only working with WiFi ones. ;)

Fact: the Vita is more of a tablet than it is a phone.

So stop calling it a phone.

EDIT: BUT ON TOPIC. I installed the app last night but didn't really use it. Just looked at the GUI and stuff. Seems pretty fluid although it doesn't seem to list conversations I listed as contacts under it (since I have some group chats going for years that I just put as contacts now). I mean it's probably more so aimed at the more popular features of Skype, like 1v1 voice and video chat, but it'd be nice to have a bit more group text chat support.

It's always something they can update at a later time.

I'm guessing audio calls will work for either, but video calls need a WiFi connection

Just a guess

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @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".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • 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."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

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

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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:

  • 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
