[Uncle Sam]

Alright, five. If you don't count Switzerland. Which I don't.

 

[Lee]

So what's the deal, you pay a one time fee and then all those games show up on your Wii's hard drive?

Excuse my ignorance, I'm not really sure what's going on.

 

[Lee]

The 3DS, as in Nintendo's new handheld console. Will be released 25th/27th March at about £200

 

[JGlass]

Interesting. I haven't owned a handheld console since Gameboy Advance. Maybe I'll look into it. It would certainly make the bus ride between Boston and New York much more bearable.

 

[Lee]

I can't believe you haven't heard about it!

 

[JGlass]

Holy shit! £200 is over $300! On second thought, I'll just stick to listening to my iPod and pretending I can't smell the person sitting next to me.

Holy shit! £200 is over $300! On second thought, I'll just stick to listening to my iPod and pretending I can't smell the person sitting next to me.

it's $250 for a handheld Three-Dimensional video game console with graphics that look as good (if not better) then Gamecube. Also, there are about 23987493825632 games that look absolutely fucking amazing.

DEFINITELY worth the $250

 

[JGlass]

I will have to assess my finances in March. As a student you can imagine that most of my money goes towards food, and my job pays a whopping $8.15 and hour and I only get about 15 hours a week maximum. If another one of my business ventures works out, though, the 3DS could be a distinct possibility.

It comes with all these games? You don't have to drop another $50 for each one of them? That is a nice deal.

 

[Lee]

Yeah I love how everyone's saying $250 is ridiculous but will spend more than that on ipods

 

[SalvIsWin]

If you want one, you better pre-order it now. I would suspect that the 3DS will have Wii-like levels of unavailability. That being said, I wouldn't even get it on launch, because there are no good games - unless you really like Street Fighter. There's only one Nintendo title at launch, and it's about petting cats and dogs. Remember when the Nintendo DS launched and it was a clunky monstrosity? Yeah, I would wait.

 

[Lee]

30 games are to be released by June of which 28 are set out on the page before.

Plenty of nintendo titles there.

 

[Lee]

 

[Uncle Sam]

Fuck you, Lee. You just cost me £200, you dick.

 

[Lee]

It looks awesome



Apparently events start next month to try it

 

[Stormtrooper]

holy shit. That looks friggin amazing.

 

[Dave]

Holy shit! That looks incredible!

And that is coming from a Nintendo cynic.

£220? Will wait for eventual redesign with acceptable battery life, methinks.

 

[Lee]

yeah when the usa gets it at £180

 

[Uncle Sam]

It's the Euro, fucking us over again. I told them. Don't say I didn't tell them. I told them.

 

[The Holy One]

If I wasn't already convinced to get it, unlike Sam, I'm glad to say that I'll spend $250 for it.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

anyone know when the next Bioshock is coming out?

 

[Uncle Sam]

2012 sometime.
