Now THAT price is more like it.
I'm definitely in. I can't wait for people to adopt the GBA Media player on this. Imagine, divx running on 2 screens at full 30fps

Yes the price is great!
Comparatively, the PSP will be 33000 yen or 300 dollars US. Reply With Quote

The DS will rock the portable gaming world. Sure, the PSP will have better graphics & some cool games, but the DS will be a Modding/Homebrew paradise. Between the VoIP compatibility, demo downloads, etc. this system will be the clear winner in the Handheld war (PSP meet GameGear). The ONLY problem with this system, is that it won't play GB/GBC games.

I have no care for GB/GBC games.
They'll be emulated by then (heck you can play emulated Famicom/GB games off the GBA media player now)._______________

No game-link play as it doesn't support that extension port. Only via wireless link so games made for DS.
I had a feeling they weren't going to put it out at $200US, judging from their history, Nintendo always keeps prices low as they know their target market. Reply With Quote

arrgghh
this is so tempting
I would prefer the DS rather than the psp for sure, but my problem is time.
I don't know if i have the time to play this thing.
I am worried that my marks would start to decline.
any advice? Reply With Quote
