That is hideous.
That is the most disgusting pink color ever. Is Pepto Bismol sponsoring it or something? It looks like liquid Pepto completely.
I'm sure half of TNL is going to buy it.
I want that.
Its no Hello Kitty DC IMHO.
I saw that when I was hanging with the TNL crew years ago and I must say I did fancy it.
They're bringing out a pink PSP, as well. Same hideous shade.
An import DC is possibly the most useless gaming device in history.Quote:

I will try to convince you that there are more useless videogaming items than an import DC :D (say, an import Gamecube)

If America released specialized DC consoles I'd agree but I just like the designs.
I was browsing vgcharts and noticed that the GC has sold 4 million units in Japan... I was pretty surprised, I thought it was 15 or 20 the way the fanboys talk. Four million in five years, only slightly better than DC. That is a miserable failure.
But honestly its harder to play import GC games than import DC games, and stuff like Mr. Driller Drill Land...
Import DC, NO reason to own one. You gotta trust me on that, I did have one.
Import Xbox.
There are a few games that came out for Xbox in Japan that didn't hit here, and softmodding the Xbox is a bigger pain in the ass than burning self booting DC discs.
I always wonder why in the US we don't get different color systems? The only one that i can remember that we got rcently is the Black "Sports" Dreamcast. Everything else we get snubbed

The GB, GBC, GBA, N64, GC, and DS all have multiple colors in the US. Sony and Microsoft just hate us.Quote:

Even the Xbox had that horrid Halo special edition, and the PS2 had several overpriced, direct-order variants.
Yea. I have two legit DC imports, Under Defeat and Ikaruga. I still play the burns because it's easier. The burns boot by themselves and play any game you want flawlessly.Quote:

If you own an import Dc, you lose. Import Xbox, there are one or two games I think (like import GC) and you do have to go through more hoops than with DC. I think Yoshi has an import Xbox, :lol:
Wait what is this news on an upgraded PSP?Quote:

I had an import DC before American launch, but, like the GC, I got it modded rather than buying an American one. I'm planning to do the same with the Xbox. I'll mod the Japanese one, so I can keep the cool DC3 box, and sell the American one.Quote:

Fixed.Quote:

I would like to own every color rendition of a system for collection
No idea, I was just playing the speculative game. I do wish for a redesign/upgrade... the current PSP is an ergonomic nightmare.Quote:

P S P
- PlayStation Magazine reported that Sony's God of War developer David Jaffe is working on a secret PSP project, details are not yet revealed.
- RUMOR: PlayStation Magazine has reported a number of unconfirmed news about the new model of PSP:
* Samsung has signed a contract with Sony to supply a huge quantity of 8GB Flash storage chips, which will be incorporated into the new PSP
* The 8MB storage plays a key role in downloading contents on PSP, via online or PS3
* The new PSP will have a built-in camera which should have same functions as the EyeToy
* Production costs of the new PSP will be lower than the current mode, because it will be slimmer and easier to produce
* A new configuration for the UMD slot, the game will be inserted directly into the system
* The new version of PSP is expected to launch in spring 2007

This dude I know a a EBgames says you can but a ps2 like nub for the psp and just pop the old one off and put the new one on.
If he works at EB, he doesn't know shit. I have yet to find a counter-example to this statement.
I worked at EB.
I worked at EB, too.
My regular PSP nub fell off somehow, so I had to buy one of these. Come in a pack of three, with a black, white, and blue one included. It plays better than the old nub, but it sticks out really far, and at least with mine it has a habit of catching on something (no idea what) sometimes when in use. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I bet some will like it.Quote:

Despite the fact that alot of ppl that get jobs at EB or Gamestop know jack shit about games... This dude actually knows some shit. Most of those ppl don't know anything about importing he tells me most of the games he gets are imports.Quote:

Anyone that feels this way needs to go to Best Buy and get this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1118845062113Quote:

It has recently dropped down to like 11 bucks and it comes with a very cool UMD case among other usefull items. I paid just over 20 bucks for it a while back and it was worth every penny.
I don't hardly ever buy accessories, but for $12 I might have to give that a shot. TFTL.
