Newegg has always done me right. I like 'em. They have really good prices (not the best, but still pretty great) and really good service (and great shipping prices/deals not to mention coupons all over the place on their site). Everything I have ordered from them (parts to build about 3 computers or so over the years) has come in on time and well packaged. In my opinion they are the best bang for the buck when ordering parts online.
Last I heard online will only have up to 4 players. I could be wrong on this though, but that's what I remember reading last.
Check dsfanboy.com or some other gaming blogs to be sure (kotaku.com, revo-europe.com, dsfanboy.com, joystiq.com are ones I like..for the most part..and in that order..).
Not really. Why would an oil company need to buy an existing SUV company in order to drive up demand for oil/gas? The SUV company already exists. It's already doing that on it's own. What difference does it make if the oil company buys it or not? Just like the other example. Why would an asphault company need to buy Ford when Ford is already doing exactly what they want.
Fuck that. Nintendo owes it to it's fans NOT to sell. How is screwing over your HUGE fan base by selling out to Cisco good for share holders? Sure they might make a quick buck at first but it'll quickly go down hill from there.
I'm a die hard Nintendo fan and I will lose all respect for them if they sell out to Cisco.
Shareholders aren't going to make shit if Nintendo alienates it's fan base.
That's what I like about it. It's cheap, it's clam shell protects against scratches on the screen, it's rugged and it doesn't break easy. If it does break..well...it's cheap.. It's exactly what a portable device should be (except a tad on the heavy/bulky side.. the SP is as good as it gets)
Who cares what it looks like? Aparently everybody on this entire planet except you, me and a few others from what I've been reading. I don't care. Wasn't that my whole point? I do care about scratches on the screen, and ruining something that costs over $250 by accidently dropping it isn't exactly my idea of fun. My point is that portable devices should be more rugged.
There is nothing to protect the PSP screen from scratches like the DS with it's clam shell design. You can't tell me you won't be pissed if you accidently drop your $250 toy and end up scratching the screen or worse. I can drop my DS all I want with out scratching the screen and if it does break a $130 hit is a lot easier to take compared to a $250 to $300+ hit.
As for the iPod.. What is the point of them making a device that is meant to be carried around in your pocket or taken on jogs with you yet you can't even put it in your pocket or even the case it comes with for that matter with out scratching it and completely defeating the purpose of them making it look so pretty in the first place? I just don't understand the point of designing a portable device that is so expensive and pretty that it scratches as easy as the iPod does. It just seems retarded to me.
And no I'm not really that paranoid about it I was exaggerating a bit to make a point. I live with the scratches, but I still don't like the fact that if I accidently drop my iPod I can kiss $300 goodbye.
Exactly and not only that I never said it was a rare item nor do I care. It's an expensive item and that's what I care about. Also if it's nothing special and it's not made to look at (it plays movies? I look at it) then why make it so pretty that it scratches at the drop of a hat instead of making it a little stronger instead?
I personaly LIKE the fact that the DS isn't as sexy as an iPod or PSP.
Portables need to be rugged not fragile and easy to scratch or break not to mention super expensive which makes scratching it or breaking it that much worse.
My iPod (that I got for xmas this year) is already scratched up and that's just from putting it in and out of the case that it freaking CAME WITH.
It's so pretty that there is no way in hell I would want to put that thing in my pocket to jog or take any kind of risk dropping it. Constantly having to take it out of it's case to change songs sucks also. It just plain sucks. It completely defeats the purpose of being portable. It's almost completely useless to me because I'm too scared of hurting it. How retarded is that? I almost wish I had a first gen iPod instead so I wouldn't care as much. Also whats the freaking point of buying a beautiful, expensive toy like the iPod only to keep it wraped up in some UGLY case because you're too scared to scratch the thing?
And the PSP.. Are you kidding me? This thing is even worse. My roommate won't remove that thing from our house no way in hell. It never gets played. It's worthless.
On the other hand I love my DS. I can and will take it anywhere with me. I don't care if I drop it. I don't care if I scratch it. It just doesn't matter. If it breaks I can replace it cheaply. I love it. I can't say the same for my iPod or the PSP.
Screw super sexy expensive portable devices. That's my opinion.
(I guess you could say that if I don't care about having a sexy portable device then why do I care if I scratch my iPod? I don't know. It's worth $300 bucks, not $100. For some reason I do care. It's so easy to scratch I almost feel like the screen won't be useable if I scratch it too much. If I drop it I can probably kiss it goodbye. How does that make for a good portable device?)
No the thing that matters most is fun. If you're buying a car for horsepower you probably want a car that is fast and fun to drive. Well guess what? Horse power isn't the only thing that makes a car. What about suspension? How heavy/thick/nice the steering wheel is? How great the tranny shifts? There is a LOT MORE to a car than just horsepower.
Let's use the Honda S2K as an example. It doesn't have a huge engine or a shit ton of horsepower but it's probably one of the most fun cars to drive.. Sounds a lot like Nintendo to me.
Now lets look at a drag car. It is fast. Real fast. It goes really fast in a strait line. It's fun, but uhhh.. Yeah.. All it does is go in a strait line.
I don't fucking care of the Revolution has the power of the SNES if they can make games that are FUN who fucking cares? I mean nice graphics are great. I love cod2, but if power and graphics are all that matters how come the DS is such a better buy than the PSP?
It's the game that counts not the car.. or system.. or whatever. I'd rather have a sweet car with a hot chick in the passanger seat than a bad ass car with an ugly dude in the passanger seat.
Shoot I have music cd's that I burned sitting in my car in TEXAS for over 5 years that still work. They aren't even in any kind of case or anything. If anything was going to ruin a cd in 5 years I would think that would have done it.
That is no longer true. That law has changed. The loophole is gone. Boll is still making movies. It kind of makes me wonder if the whole german tax loophole was ever the reason he was getting funded. It made perfect sense at the time, but why is he still getting funded to make the worlds shittiest movies even after the loophole is gone?
If all the units shipped were sold then I wouldn't be able to go into a store and find a PSP.
There is no shortage of PSP's. I can go into any store and find one.
If you want to play this game why don't we take a look at how many DS units have shipped instead of comparing DS Sold vs PSP Shipped.
It's pretty stupid to assume that just because something ships that it's going to be sold. Eventually it'll probably be sold, but if it takes 5 years you wouldn't be making anymore shipments anytime soon now would you.
Units shipped is pointless I'd rather see how many people are actually buying the fucking thing.
GameCube doesn't sound TOO bad.. I mean think about it... "Play Station"?!?! Seriously. WTF? If GameCube is retarded PlayStation is seriously retarded.
Hey lets all go to the play station!!! wheeeeeeeeeee haha.. they might as well have called it the fun station or the play pin or play area. That sounds like the section of the room I have for my 3 year old daughter to play in lol.
XBox?
I don't know. GameCube sounds as good or better than the competition if you ask me. Not great. Not horrible. N64 was pretty bad though. Atleast it doesn't sound like a kids play area.
Yeah I was thinking the same. Perhaps if it wasn't wireless and maybe a little bigger (would need larger gyro's no? I have no idea).
It would be pretty neat. Like in a driving game you could have it provide some resistance while turning or if the road was wet and the car slipped in the other direction the controler could pull the other way and you'd have to try to hold the car steady. That could be pretty neat.
then again if there was a cord you wouldn't have nearly the freedom you have with wireless even if it was a 20 foot cord it might still be really annoying.
I hate wired controlers now. Especially after I got a wavebird (for the Cube) and an Xbox 360. I just love wireless controlers.
Just a note. True hardcore gamers don't call them selves hardcore and they don't shun games based on stupid things like colorful graphics, the lack of an M rating, who makes the game, or any of that kind of bull shit. A true hardcore gamer likes to play games. Fun games. It doesn't matter if it's GTA3 or Animal Crossing. If all you like to play is Halo and GTA3 you're not hardcore. You're just another typical, average gamer. These fucks who think they are hardcore then turn around and make fun of Nintendo for being kiddy are not hardcore. Period. I have a hard time even calling them gamers. Wannabes and posers are more fitting words to use. Just my opinion.
Slashdot Mirror
Who cares if the PSP and DS are neck and neck here in the US.
How well are PSP games doing?
Last time I saw numbers the DS was selling way more games.
I'm sure Sony is losing money on each PSP sold so who cares about that.
I want to know who is selling the most games. That's where the money is.
Stop. You're making me hungry.

oh, right. of course. i like the slim design and lighter weigh. it's pretty but I still wouldn't rip my hair out if I dropped it or scratched it.
That's what I like about it. It's cheap, it's clam shell protects against scratches on the screen, it's rugged and it doesn't break easy. If it does break..well...it's cheap.. It's exactly what a portable device should be (except a tad on the heavy/bulky side.. the SP is as good as it gets)
Oh. Thanks for calling my friend a loser.

What about..
That joystiq article SUCKS. Out of all of the sites that have this information theirs is the only one that didn't post the numbers.
Try this link instead.

They don't seem to care for video games all that much over there so why in the hell would they care for crap movies based on video games?

Get a new iPod.
It does everything the PSP can do, better (except games).
It's only ~$50 more. Try buying 30 gigs of DUO cards for that much.
Ever try jogging with a PSP? I mean seriously this thing sucks for music.
Are you listening to your self?
