This makes me wonder....I have one bad eye, I can see through but everything is blurry (Glasses cant do anything about it) so I wonder if this will even work for me.

If all else fails, you can just turn off the 3D and enjoy it with just the nice graphics. I personally found that the 3d on street fighter 4 kind of distracting.

Probably not, because technology is based on using both eyes!

Some of the software won't be "fully operational" until updates "performed after purchase," Nintendo says. Hrmm. But there's gonna be an e-shop that'll let you buy and download games. (Including classic titles, that you can pay for, again.)

Additional anti-piracy measures, hmmm?

Thats a good question. Maybe I won't update for the first few months in case they left a big security hole that someone will take advantage of early on. The DS didn't get a descent flash card quite a while into its life. I had one of those big honking things that stuck out the back originally.

I think they mean things like the internet browser or other things like that, not necessarily AP (Nintendo wouldn't release a console with bad AP and then make people update; how stupid is that?).

HMV has priced the console at £229.99

HMV usually have a high price on most things so i wouldnt worry about that too much. Ill be paying attention to what all the major supermarkets price it as.

swedish retailers has it at 2499 SEK = $364 = €270 = £226 = 29 900 yen

damn... but what did I say all these months ago: 25000 yen = $250 = 2500 SEK... always the same

What I took from that, is individual games might need to be "activated" to work fully if at all.

Best way to counter pirates in my opinion. It's probably quite diffecult to crack that.

If you look at my post history, I called this months ago, yet no one wanted to believe it.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
