All true Iga, but Nintendo has trained us at this point to wait for the better version.

False Nintendo trained you to go out and buy the very first version. And then they trained you to bitch and moan when a better version is announced, only to buy that version too. Then the cycle repeats itself.

I don't care for 3DS redesigns, the launch model looks fine as it is really, not like the fat DS, so I'll just wait until it has a library I care about (which will probably be as soon as they get a couple of killer apps since i have a DS backlog to buy and play) and until it's comfortably affordable. if a new model comes along then great, that will help make the initial models cheaper faster. I don't even see how they can redesign it really, short of making an XL version as an option rather than an upgrade. Especially if it comes with an SD card rather than built-in memory that later models could upgrade in that case. And it will go online and what not by default from launch. So what will they upgrade outside minor aesthetic polish that will hardly warrant a new model name and could just be a stealth update to the form factor over time. I guess they could always improve the screens or battery like the PSP models did but as long as the current screen is good with no ghosting issues and things, it will be fine and not make you feel you got a gimped product. There will probably be third party high capacity batteries like there are for PSP too, or people will simply buy a spare to always have one charged when one is being used...

Woot, finished single player and hit HR40 online.

Made the Caedeus armor, which is shit but looks funky (mine's the first, male blademaster).

Beasties are starting to be pretty hard hitting at this rank online I failed an Uragaan fight just earlier after like half an hour of trying with another dude. Rocking Rathian + armor for now, which isn't so great either but at least has high defense and a good amount of gem slots (although a few are wasted on nulifying its negative skills).

While I appreciate THQ bringing games out at lower prices there really aren't many games they make that interest me even at $40.
Agreed. deBlob 2 is the only thing I can think of off the top of my head.
Saint's Row, UFC, Red Faction are some of their stronger core IP's. I wonder if they'll do this for Homefront (the new FPS set in North Korea).

Well I'm glad I got my DSi XL because if the price over here is anywhere close to that me thinks I'll be holding off on a 3DS purchase for awhile.
If GG was around he'd point out that the UK/EU always gets screwed with retail pricing as it compares to the US. The DSi currently sells in the UK for 112 GBP, which is $175 USD. In the US DSi's are $140 -- so there's $35 less -- that would put the 3DS at the $349 mark in the US -- okay that's still bad.
Here is a more hopeful example:
Wii bundle US = $180 (amazon)
Wii bundle UK = $280 (180 GBP at zaavi)

Oh yeah I forgot about Saint's Row and Red Faction. Both interest me but I never did get around to buying any of them yet. I've been looking at the Saint's Row Double pack for $30 though. I should try that. Also Itagaki's new dev team signed up with THQ so that right there is of huge interest to me.

Yeah I was factoring a bit of the price difference for the 3DS and was thinking of a $349 pricepoint for it here in North America. That's a touch too pricy for me for a handheld. I'm thinking more of a $299 price for me to bite.

A question? When you masturbate, do you think of me?

Of course thinking about me only serves to make yourself feel more inadequate. This in turn makes you go limp. Don't be so hard on yourself aspro.

So Sony is going to have a physical medium for the PSP2 -- not just downloads like the PSPGo.

Dude, how bummed are you going to be if there's not a Western release of this game?
