No, *we're* not getting a gold Mario Amiibo. Maybe 2000 folks that want one will be lucky enough to get one, and the other 3000 that Nintendo makes available will go straight to ebay.

And that's why most of the time folks really shouldn't put money down for a game until it gets released.

Because Kotaku?

Couldn't agree more. The 3D just works now. Like most people I turned off the 3D a long time ago on my 3DSXL, but now I'm not even thinking about turning it off.

I got mine yesterday courtesy of Target and next-day shipping by UPS and the 3D tracking really makes a world of difference. It actively follows you as you move your head around and it's almost perfect. Every once in a while if I move it a whole bunch it'll get confused for a moment and blur, but then snap back into…

The one thing Sony did right with the Vita slim was dropping the proprietary charge cable and taking micro-USB instead.

Regular price will be $34.99, pre-order discount has it for $29.99

Glad I ordered through... oh wait, it sold out in minutes and I didn't get an order? Gosh dernit!

The satisfaction is because you stab him in the face.

New rewards? How about just having a sufficient stock! Remember when they released the 3DS XL charging dock in 5 different colors? Most of them were gone in half an hour. What good are all these rewards points if you can't spend them on good stuff!

I had not, that's fantastic!

Sooo... Sid Meier's Galactic Civilizations?

Nobody *needs* a New 3DS. Don't buy one if you're not happy with what comes with it.

Bugger, I actually wanted a lighter non-XL model.

20Mbps is plenty for streaming the video, it's the unavoidable lag of your controller's commands going up to the server and then showing up in the return stream. Basically take your ping to Sony's severs and double it.

Pretty much. Here's some info about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Pl…

Almost as good a deal as the one they had 2 weeks ago with half-off HDX7 LTE tablets. I got a 64GB model for $180, perfect for loading up with comics and other media.
