I saw a price cut happening before the holidays, but not an $80 price cut less than 5 months after its release (NA release). I was thinking they would drop the price down to $199.99 around October or November.
Good news for anyone thinking about getting one.
old news again
No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to avoid your kind. Since you can't seem to leave me be, I will avoid being graphic out of respect for the people here who will be exposed to this exchange of words.
I tell you what pspgamer01, how about you start delivering new news? Since you seem to feel the need to point out what's old and what isn't.
Maybe you can do it without mashing trailers we've already seen together and adding heavy metal over it, like you do your upcoming minis YouTube videos.
And if you could do it in a flashier manner than your less than mundane gameplay videos, that would be greatly appreciated.
I should have added emoticons...Don't take it too seriously.
And I don't have the money for all the necassary video recording equipment. The quality is still good enough to show how the games look like. But go ahead, dislike'em all. I don't care.

Well I hate to take sides here, but Ofaliss is right. Thats twice I've seen you bash him for news. I think you have to understand that theres gonna be someone in here who hasnt heard the news yet. So just let it be. Oh, and I'm not taking O's side just because we're NC boys who just happen to be kickass Trenched teammates.
I don't take things too seriously here on this site, but the thing is pspgamer01, this isn't the first time you and I have exchanged words. And just like the last time, it was you who started it.
I know you don't have the best equipment, that's obvious and it was my point. That same obviousness usually pertains to the news I often times post, yeah it's old most times, but I share it as a way to get members active again. I visit this site everyday, I love this site, but sometimes a few days can go by and no one posts in the forums. I do things like this as a way to kick start activity, even if it's only for a moment.
You don't have to like me, that's fine and I personally don't care. But don't think you can continue to be disrespectful towards me and I'm just going to continue to ignore it. You and I both know you tend to poke the bee hive and usually whoever your addressing either just ignores you, or responds in a carefully worded way. But all that aside, it's best that from now on, you don't address me and i don't address you. Saves everybody the time of having to be exposed to this kind of thing and us the embarrassment.

After playing with one at a store, I will probably pass on ever getting one.
Like the DS, the screen is just too small for my middle aged eyes. And since I have a lazy eye, I can't see the 3D on it, I just see 2 images.
The graphics on it looked better than I thought, but at the same time, not that much better than the PSP. Sort of like the difference between the DC and Xbox.
Maybe if they come out with an XL model (still want to get a DSi one of those...)

I personally won't be getting a 3DS myself because I don't really like the 3D effects produced by the current generation of tech in films/games. I'd much rather view nice high-res 2D imagery, until that is we get cool 3D holograms like those in Star Wars and then I'll be all over those! ;-)
I think 3D is being used way too much! I remember when rumble/vibration technology first took off, it was something novel, and new... until they used it to death. 3D will probably go the same way... which is a shame really, because 3D has such potential... if used sparingly, and done right.
I'm with volcane on this one... where are our holograms? ;)
I'm looking at all the, "3DS is doomed", articles online and all the 3DS fans that are having to defend the honor of their system, and I can't help but to laugh!
It's the very same thing PSP owners had to deal with for so long. I empathize with all the 3DS owners, but at the same time, Karma has always been a real b*tch.
I think the 3DS is awesome, it was just a horrific mis-sell out of the gate.
All the UK ads were just footage of people playing (with the camera facing the person, not the display for obvious reasons) and them saying: "Oh, that's amazing!" or similar.
Only now have they gone to the trouble of pointing out that it's not just a DS with a 3D display, but a fairly beastly handheld.
I think it'll pick up once the good games start to come out - I'm certainly very tempted to get one.
Whatever you think about Nintendo there's NO DOUBT (IMO at least) that when they're on for they embarrass ALL other devs with the quality of there work.
If I could pick anywhere to go and learn for a year, it'd be there - no doubt.
All that said, I'm aware I'm on a PSP fan site. Vita looks awesome too and with both of their pricing you could get one of each!

Nothing wrong with praising the other guys evanac. I may not be a fan of the hardware that Nintendo has put out the last few tries and I don't make it a point to try and hide that fact, but up through the GameCube/Advance era, Nintendo came first.
I will admit though, I've never been all that big on their first party titles. Which is strange seeing as that's how you get the most out of a Nintendo system. But I'm weird like that.

I still have no interest in this. Will definitely be getting a Vita though. I use my psp as an mp3 player more than anything. Does the 3DS finally have music playback?
My big problem is the games. Tons of rpgs, and I'm a huge fan, but Nintendo's focus on remaining the family oriented company means most of the titles seem to be dumbed down.
not just a DS with a 3D display
I do wonder if they shot themselves in the foot, in terms of marketing, by a) naming it so that it sounds like just a 3D DS variant and b) making its form factor look so similar to that of the DS Lite/DSi. Sort of the opposite problem there in comparison to the GBA SP's looking completely different from the GBA, yet playing the exact same library.
Ofaliss, I've also never been a big Nintendo first-party IP fan. Certainly, they're high quality, iconic games, but even when I was little, they just didn't grab me. Actually, SMB kind of turned me off to video games . . . (because I was terrible at it).
