The idea is good: a cellphone with kick butt games.
But talking is hard and the games aren't to good (to my knolage).
This is like the PDA/Cellphone combos. Good idea but no one can get them right. They are eather to big or they lack something. But mainly, as good of an idea as it is, people aren't ready for it.
But if tomarrow someone came out with a something which can REALLY do both gaming and being a cell (and even a PDA) the thing could sell but no one can seem to make something that can do more then one thing well. It's sad really.
Still, it normaly takes YEARS for new systems to come out. Making the new GB come out a less then a year after their past new GB is pushing it. It takes a good year or two for good games to come out. Do they really want to "replace" the DS before the good games come out. It looks like a bad idea too me and that they will probably end up lossing money.
Unless this new GB is the DS-SP, which everyone knows is going to come out since the DS is HUGE (I know it's the same size as the GBA but that's HUGE too!).
"My digital camera went bust so I had an extra 128M compact flash card. The nice thing about CF is that it's pretty damn cheap (you can get a 512M card from CostCo.com for $50)."
The $50 is also WITH OUT a CF card. Add $50 for the card and you have a $100 slightly larger iPod shuffle with a FM trasmiter. I guess you save $15 for the trasmiter but when you add in the man power... I would rather get a REAL MP3 player.
Is it posible the laser reflects off the windsheld and "blinds" the piolt since the window is curved and such?
I don't know much on the subject but can it be like when you're driving at night and be blinded by the oncoming lights? (yes, I know that lasers are much smaller then driving lights)
Who says they even play often? We know that they practice often (or atleast they say they do). Can it be that they've only played a few games, say 5 and happened to win 4 because everyone else were n00bs?
There are lots of games out there who enjoy it but suck... could they have been lucky or am I just giving them a hard time because they're woman?
that is quite a fancy website for a brand new clan. It's obveus that Ubi made the site and paid for it. A few random female games don't pull a site like that out of nowhere. Heck, me being a guy I couldn't pull that site out if you gave me 6 months.
Acording to fair use we should have the right to make as many copies of a song as we want!
While this may stop P2P usage, doesn't it also hurt the person who wants to have a CD for the car, a CD for the stereo, a CD for the office, and an other spare CD?
Making MP3 should be perfectly legal, shairing them, however, isn't.
WOW! I didn't relize that it would come out so soon.
The only think I have agest it is that it looks in the pics to be quite large for a gameboy. You would think that they would try to make it smaller before they put in the 2nd screen...

That has to be one of the best Stong Bad Emails ever... Next to the techno one, ofcorse.
Do they mean an IMing system or a system for sending data threw a database or the like?
OGG!? I've never even heard of that... I can't see a small format gaining popularity in a world ran by mp3s and AACs.
If push comes to shove, you can always pray.

Why didn't Nintendo make the DS able to play GB and GBC games to begin with? Especially since there are still many people who play the old games.
I would play but I can't get myself to pay monthly for a game when I can play FPS games online for free and have even more fun with it.

Don't you have the legal right to mod your Xbox if you want to?
I play TFC and I care more about the fun i have playing then my stats
However, the actualy "machinima" of it isn't too impresive. mostly just pictures and small clips of him running and hitting people.
It would have been nice if they expanded it more and pushed what you can do with machinima.
They probably searched their products in google to see what pops up. It keeps their lawyers nice and busy...
Is it safe to say that you can run FireFox and other 3rd party browsers and software on it?
Thankx a ton, the offical site has been /.ed to death.
