lol, god hates you.

Starbucks locator, eh? *clicks*

The Starbucks 5 mins away doesn't have [wireless internet], but the one 10 mins away does.

I have four Starbucks within a five mile radius that all have wireless internet! Hell, I wonder if I could drive to work and play online at the same time with this thing. Either way, I now have a reason to get myself a wireless router for my home network. Online DSing all over the house? Forget about it!

[stormy]

all of you people seriously don't have wireless? you can get wireless routers for less than $40 if you look in the sunday papers

Because it's a huge fucking security problem.

yes, someone is going to sit in a van outside my house and break 256 bit encryption to steal my MP3 and porn collection

Hey guys? While you're pimping how innovative the DS is, you're ignoring the fact that the PSP uses WiFi, too. So a touch screen is going to revolutionize the handheld industry? Somehow I doubt it.

1. It has a microphone input aswell.

2. The DS can also detect other DS's in a 30 foot radius, notify the other DS user and upload the game for multiplayer.

But I will be getting a PSP aswell when the "SP" version of it comes with a bigger battery life. I mean the battery can only do ~8 hours of music and ~2hours of video. So if you are expecting to play games that are the same quality as GT4 for more than 2hours before recharging, you are out of luck.

So does the PSP.

So does the PSP.

No that was the analog stick. Gamespot clarified. But IIRC you can buy headphones that have voice input though.

alright, so i talked to Peter Main today, and he said if i guessed right with whatever questions he asked me, he'd tell me if i was right.

anyways, he asked me what i thought the price would be, i said $150. correct.
luanch, i guessed november. correct.

he also told me that the system that they showed off is still a big time prototype, and that there will still be things added to it, and that it'll look over all nicer and sleeker by the time it hits.

thank god they're re-designing the DS, the prototype looked ugly as sin!

I agree with all this. Why would I want a regular console in my hands when I can have a regular console on my RGB monitor? The GBA gave me something different than a regular console: Simple throwback games. This thing will also give me something different than a regular console with all of that wacky second screen stuff. The PSP on the other hand....I'll stick with my PS2.

Why would I want to a 2D system in my hands when I can play those same games on my TV?

Obviously, the answer is portability.
