I used the manual to find the card slot. I'm old-fashioned that way, especially when dealing wtih hardware for the first time. The OLED screen is amazing. When I'm not gaming, I watch Netflix or Youtube videos in bed till I fall asleep and the video quality is beautiful.
It's pathetic.That game still retails at Walmart for $40. Why, why, why?
Nice. The only bundle that was available when I bought one (back in December, pre-Christmas week) was the Call of Duty/Wi-Fi bundle. I sold the horrible COD game but the system itself is wonderful and I don't regret the purchase. I use it everyday.
Yeah, it's good to scratch that itch when necessary. I just don't want to cease productivity altogether. ;)
At the very least, it's a unique kind of crowd-pleaser. Cooper's nervous breakdown scene to the tune of Led Zep's "What Is And What Should Never Be" is so memorable.
Well, teenagers aren't always the shining example of proper behavior. Now it's just that small percentage of adults who keep acting that way. There are not more of them; they just have the louder voice.
Video games are still a young medium. I believe one day it will be widely accepted but that's a few more decades down the road at least. A certain generation of people (specifically the critics/naysayers) need to die off as well. ;)
I recall being made fun of in high school because I was known as a movie nut and I made little effort to hide it. That's ridiculous but that's what happened. Whether or not a hobby is widely accepted or not, enjoy it.
We'll see. With Pokemon and Zelda on the horizon, this device will do very well. I love my VIta and there's some really great titles for it in the near future.
Great write-up! Nice gaming rigs, too!
I've only played the SNES and DS versions so I can't judge the PSO version.
It's a strategy Nintendo has used before and they'll clean up this fall. Most people (not just kids) care only about the games and not necessarily the design of the handheld device. It's a good entry-level device. Weird design, though. I don't own a 3DS yet so don't be surprised if I post one day saying that I've bought this model (on a budget, dammit).
