That hazy, looking through piss-colored glasses look of the LCD screen makes me weep. I hope my launch Vita never dies.

All I could think was, "I am Princess Vespa, daughter of Roland, King of the Druids!"
And they're throwing money at R&D to solve the wrong problem. I see 3DS advertisements everywhere but nary a peep about the Vita, so at least there won't be any ads proclaiming, "Playstation Vita! Now with a shitty screen!"
The Gates quote is likely misattributed. Bummer.
On the other hand, Bill Gates once said:
And climb well, and chew through 67 inches of solid concrete.
You threw out Harry Potmouse!
Of course, it would have been trimmed to, "Five Tricks I Used to Beat my Meat..." on mobile, and hilarity would have ensued. Ensued, I say!
Have a snack. Eat 20 almonds or 5 oz of greek yogurt.
The way these LE 3DS XLs sell after they're no longer available at retail, just buy two and sell one in a few months to break even.
Most home burglaries occur when the occupants aren't home, and, next to cold, hard cash, firearms are highly sought after because their value goes up on the black market, they're small, light and easy to conceal (compared to televisions and other big ticket items), and their theft often goes unreported.
Frankly, I think having Wii at all in it was a mistake. Sure, it's anecdotal, but most Wii owners I know had largely given up on their Wii and associate the name a system they're bored with. I think they should have gone in an entirely different direction.
Should have been the sWiiquel.
It still represents an expense of R&D and marketing that could be spent elsewhere, possibly on product more important to the disgruntled gamer. Or perhaps they'd have simply rather had a price drop on the existing systems. Maybe they want to buy a system for their child and were hoping it would better meet their…
I'm not sure it will fly with the under 10s either, though, because for those kids, it primarily has to be sold to their parents, and the always exposed screen and switch-to-sleep (instead of the intuitive and simple close) could be turn-offs for parents in-the-know, and those parents that aren't game knowledgeable…
As a grown-ass adult in the market for a Nintendo handheld for their child, I'm not buying that. I trust the hinges more than I trust always exposed screens, and feel like stereo audio and the better battery life and screen of the XL are worth the difference, especially the refurb XLs.
Yeah, I'm quite pleased with the battery on my XL, but my spouse's standard is crap. So our daughter is getting an XL. The 2DS isn't even a possibility.
As a parent considering a portable system for their child, I'm still leaning toward 3DS XL, probably refurbished. Having exposed screens and a switch to sleep (instead of just closing) as well as the teeny-tiny screens and mono sound...it's just not worth it. I actually love my daughter and wouldn't want to force that…
There can be a lot of cross-over between Weddings, Funerals, and Job interviews...
