finally saw the 3Ds at BB today, it was alone in a corner by itself. This one was running the pilotwings demo and i was not impressed. I am actually considering canceling my pre-order. It just didn't excite me.

Please append: and please fix the frickin bugs!!! getting to the end of a hard quest and not being able to finish it because your character goes batsh*t does not improve sales of the next version.

gamefly rents all the above ds games so you can try before you buy!

You guys are killing me with your advance 3DS's! All i can do is wait and watch the countdown clock on N's website. :-(

@GamerKT: actually it is a knock off of the krugerrand, a gold coin sold by south africa to finance apartheid..

Any recommendations? Is Epic Mickey worth a buy at $30?

i will be really surprised if console players (like me) are willing to pay $15 a month for the game after paying $60 for the disk.

Amazon if i really want it quickly or Glyde if I don't mind waiting for a week or so to get the game.

@Foohy: sadly i have the GOTY edition (xbox) and i agree with you, in some of the dlc it would freeze often. as a result i am not planning to buy the follow on. (i put my money where my mouth is just as soon as i get my foot out)!

@Ryodestined: my bad, i get free shipping on Amazon but having used it for 2 days now i can tell you it is not much (if any) of an improvement.

@Ryodestined: BTW, I got mine yesterday and it is really not much better, i was disappointed.

@Nick Edge: absolutely they do, they were found to have funded SCO's legal attack against linux thru an anonymous investment which they denied but later admitted to (see groklaw.org)

@Sloopydrew: actually i no longer have any furniture in my living room at least until i can get a top of tv mount for the damn thing.

On another note; I was very unhappy to read that a M$ VP told a group of advertisers that Kinect could watch the room and based on observations like colors you were wearing could figure out which sports teams you were supporting and show ads for those teams (during espn viewing).

@Sloopydrew: LOL, I only needed 9.5 feet for kinect to include my lower legs. Less with the tv mount which of course is not available yet!!

Having purchased one on release date I can think of two good questions.

@CloserDivision: actually all those expenses are built into the wholesale price by MS. Much of that cost is also tax deductible so it is very credible that the device costs MS little more than $40-50, which is prob. not much less than they are charging the retailers for the product. the retailers then typically double…

Look Guys,

@Nick Edge: shady dealings are MS's MO not Sony's (sadly i don't think Sony is that smart...)
