Nintendo DS

Well thats a very bad move on Sony's if they have that mentalilty.

Well. The pixels in the screen are dead, so they dont show any colour or video.
The compartment that holds the disc is easily opened and shoots out if the person holds the wrong way.

check the link
http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/12/17/news_6115293.html

or if the link does not work, "According to dozens of forum posts and lower-end game sites, many of the first PSPs released suffered from a variety of defects, including "dead pixels, dead drives, analog sticks not working and even falling off, and even screens with dust and 'air bubbles,'" according to Engadget. A more-spectacular alleged problem was the so-called "Master of the Flying UMD Guillotine Trick." According to reports--one of which even featured video evidence--if you twist the PSP a certain way, the UMD drive opens, causing the disc to come flying out like a throwing star. Luckily, GameSpot can address both of these rumors head on. While in Japan last weekend, GameSpot editors did observe some PSPs with dead pixels, but did not see any evidence of the other defects. As to the flying-disc glitch, we were brave enough to use one of our precious PSP units to test the theory. We stabilized the unit with our left hand, turned forward ever so slightly with our right and--SHAZAM!--out the disc popped.

Bogus or not bogus?: "Riddled" is a bit extreme, but there were defective models. Not entirely bogus. As for the flying-disc trick: Not bogus, in our experience."

Gamespot also did test's with the PSP and they noted that the battery life lasts around 6 hours for games that have some graphics. But, the battery life last around 90 minutes to 3 hours if playing graphically intensive games like Ridge Racer. (90 minutes is horrible) battery is further reduced if wireless function is on. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/12/12/news_6114909.html

I hope when it cums out all of the problems will get solved.

This should be discussed in the appropriate thread.

or better yetter, the "which is better?" thread 😄

ANYWAY, anyone see the Asphault GT game? Looks pretty cool for the DS, it's on my Christmas list... looks pretty sweet.

But those X and Y magic games, the dating simulators won't be setting foot in my DS slots... 😬

dude, xx/xy feel the magic is actually the best game out on the DS right now.(well, "original" DS game. Mario is great, but it hardly uses the touch screen."

i've played it, and it isn't some crap date simulator or other crap like that. It's like warioware, without as much crying dog- cyber monkey- punching bag- nose picking action

in one level, I had to blow on the mic to blow a sail boat to a person surrounded by sharks.

another level, I had to help fight bees off.

another level, I used the sylus to move spiked balls out of the way of guys in shopping carts coasted down a hill.

it's very original, and it would be a shame to pass it up just based off looks.

Did you check out the video of the disc popping out. It's great.

I'm at the giant plant boss. 😖mart:

The name is deceiving, yes, but I must agree that it's in my top two DS games, that and Mario. But this uses the DS innovatively, so in many ways it can top Mario, but only in the DS functionality. Mario is Mario, you can't hate it 😛
