my thoughts are the same. i buy nintendo for first party. third party what? :) however i've been sick of mario for about the last 4 years.. prior to that, i was a total mario fan for the previous 16 years... ;)

wow, i had the exact opposite experience w/my pre-order 3DS. i sold it after only 2 months because the 3D was crap and gimick and the lack of games at the time was killer. I'm very excited for the PSVita and all it has to offer from the get go (gps, 3g alone had me)

true.. plus, none of the reviewers mention WHY they make proprietery cards. Consistent performance and experiences.

wow.. just wow... so Sam, do you have both an iPhone and an iPad? also, what would you give the 3DS then? 2 stars?

and we are the ones who spend the most money on games too..

i believe another reason for the proprietery that most never think about: flashcard speed requirements and the fact that not all memory cards are made the same.

odds are its one of those fancy iGadgets too (remember this was a giz article and they suck the balls of anything apple.. )...

:) hehe, i just hate the $10 50GB bluray discs.. but sure is cheaper than $70 on ebay. hmm, so again another reason why piracy exists.. i can't even buy this dang movie and would gladly pay for it if it was available. industry fail...

that's a pretty optmistic and naive view on SOPA. like Krackato mentioned, their past doesn't seem to be in line w/your thoughts.

only those Panasonic 3DTV owners are sick of Avatard in 3D. the rest of us can't buy it yet (exclusive to Panasonic 3DTV bundles)

as others mentioned, LG and Samsung 3D TVs from 2011 can do this.

agreed! Skyrim is more realistic in that you do remember the ones that you interact with a lot but like in real life, forget the ones you just meet once or do one task for.

haha! lolz!

you can take an arrow in the knee.. :P

hehe. nice

i am a graphics whore and i want 1080p AA textures. ;) yea, those graphics look even bad for PS2 era imo.

a waste? really? i'm glad to see sony give the PS Vita all of the unique control/inputs as it has from the start rather than realizing after the release they should have included touch screen or a 2nd analog (*cough 3DS).

here's my contribution and link to deviantart page: [seamonkey420.deviantart.com]

can't go wrong w/Mario RPG :)

agreed. my original phat 60GB died last year w/the YLOD. i still think thats why they got rid of the emotion chip/ps2 compatibilty; just too much heat inside and the non lead based solder isn't helping either.
