@xTRICKYxx: agree

Is it just me or does iOS sorely need an update regarding notifications?

Sony removing backward compatibility from PS3: good decision or great decision?

They need to stop with this 4G nonsense. It's a pretty solid network but it's NOT 4G.

" If we had given them another week they would have shown us NGP playing against PS3 as well – they already plan to deliver that functionality when they ship the game.""

@trickybuz93: lol....sign a 2 year contract to play with horrible touch controls that cover 1/4th of the screen?

If I can play killzone or call of duty or battlefield online and on the go, worth every penny even if it is $500.

@carrlander: From what I have seen of the NGP, I would pay up to 500 USD for it. That's how much 10 million people paid for the low end iPad this year and that has less hardware and functionality.

For me, simply having 2 thumbsticks puts the NGP above the 3DS' 3D screen.

@campbell000: Haha, thanks?

@P4KO: seriously.

@erikwoods: Battlefield Bad Company 3 NGP edition, cross playable with PS3 edition!

@Nslick: To be fair they are supposed to be franchise extensions on the NGP, not remakes.

OK. I could see myself dropping $500 for this now. After all, the iPad is just as expensive for less hardware.

@campbell000: I failed at trying to be funny.

And nothing of value was lost.

I think any higher than $249 w/no game and we're going to see a replay of the PS3 launch.

@GiantBoyDetective: You forget that Nintendo likes to make money off their hardware while Sony has a habit of selling it at a loss. Even then, you might be right....

@UnkleBuck: Despite what you may have heard, the PSP didn't fail. In fact, I'd say it's pretty darn successful.

Whoa....suddenly I'm on the fence between the 3DS and this. Maybe they'll come out far enough apart where I can afford both.
