    That's the colour of a toilet bowl after a particularly devilish curry. The purple one is smart as hell. Both are better than the options they've given us though.

    Holy crap, it's 2.4 gigahurtz. And it has a gyroscope? Damn, let's hope Sony has something world changing up their sleeve to beat this.

    That ain't nothing. I bought a $1200 laptop so that I could have Oblivion portable.

    I just don't get Zelda though.

    Every time a new system is released, Ridge Racer is one of the launch titles for that system. And that, inevitably, seems to be the game I always end up with. And I don't even like Ridge Racer, although I'm a huge fan of racing games in general. Something tells me I'm gonna end up with Ridge Racer again. I'm a new tech whore, but I don't like any of nintendo's IPs. Metroid Prime is probably their best IP, as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully Resident Evil makes the launch date.

    But the laptop justifies that price because it can do a lot more. Plus oblivion is one hell of a game. Cant wait for Skyrim. I would really have to see one for myself and see what it can do before spending that

    On a similar token, it's the games that justify a console's price tag, not how big it is.

    $250?? dang... I could get the newest itouch with that.

    The Paper Mario and Mario Kart games are basically all I would want on the device so... I'll wait.

    Is $250 too much for console where a single game is going to cost $30-40 anyways?

    The Kid Icarus Uprising videos look so good. If that's how a first gen 3DS Nintendo game looks, just imagine how a Zelda/Mario are going to look like. Game also looks really fun, with some Sin & Punishment similarities.

    Holy shit people abroad are getting corn holed on 3DS pricing. £229.99 ($365.11) in the UK and €249.99 ($336.04) in the EU? Has Nintendo updated its currency conversion rates this century? That is absolutely bananas, and incredibly overpriced. Does that even include whatever wacky taxes there are, or do you add VAT on top of that too?

    Wow never looked at it like that and figured the pricing but that is f*cking retarded. I guess Nintendo loves America and figures were too poor anyways.

    Yeah I'm pretty much blown away they expect people in the UK to pay over $100 more than US pricing.

    Thank you! Now use your powers to make Nintendo change their minds. I think we pay more for most hardware to be honest... iPhones and MacBooks included, we're kinda used to it but it's still damn annoying.
