Agreed, this is more of an alternate model than anything, really.

Well... yeah, that too. I've already got a nice list of the ones I want as well.

I'm pretty sure the interior is matte... just like how those special coloured DS Lite's were.

But have you tried playing any first-person games on the DS?

Don't. You. Even. Dare!

Just wait until Game Freak comes along with a couple of main series Pokemon games made specifically for the 3DS. You can't possibly get any more iconic than that!

They made an "optional" add-on for games that want to use it. It ain't required.

Lack of 3 colours the 3DS has xD?

Yes, that french article mentioned that the 3D "sweet spot" is much wider than before.

What is everyone's goddamn fixation with that goddamn 2nd analog stick? Why include something "standard" when only a select few titles even have use of it? And on top of that, it's entirely optional?

I want one now. They finally got a proper "blue" console, as opposed to that awful blue they chose for the original 3DS.

Oh yeah, the lollipop. I dunno why, but that would be hilariously epic :D.

So confirming what I suspected already; a great marriage between the 360's general design, with the PS3's button/stick placement and feel.

The genius of this is that the artstyle used for TF2 pretty much means that very little feels out of place when put next to it.

I wondered when they were going to sneak in Gabe's love for MLP into TF2 sooner or later.

Today, I shall finally get to reinstall 7. Sucks when XP is so slow that it takes forever to copy files from on HDD to another. Should have had this done days ago :P.

The fans have covered that a long time ago....

I've been hearing some rumors stating that he's deliberately trying to push away his readers.

Totally agreed.

It does help that I really didn't have an actually want for one in the first place... until I started playing some old PS1 games that I never got to play, and found out the PSP is pretty much the best emulator out there.
