chris_lynx1989 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yes,I agree that is simple logic,but,I'm reading elsewhere on other forums that some are going to try and play both sides of the fence. Some are supposedly going to try and grab one at $250 at Wal-Mart and etc. and do their price matching stuff (after 8/12) to get it at $170 and also get the 20 free games before the deadline.Sneaky,huh? It just might work for some.I just don't know if I would go to that much trouble for 20 free lackluster titles! To each their own.Free isn't THAT good.

Rex Dart Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Going to wal-mart twice isn't really that big a hassle. I wish I'd gotten mine closer to the price drop date so I could pull the same scam. edit: Edited August 6, 2011 by Rex Dart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickNixonArisen Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I should mention that I rarely use the 3-d for very long, because it hurts my eyes. Even a few minutes AFTER using it for a few minutes, I have actual pain in my eyes. That... doesn't seem right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to think that enlarging the screens is a ridiculous idea, but I swear it'd help a lot of the vision issues people are having.

toptenmaterial Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I have to admit, the 3D makes me ill. No way around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickNixonArisen Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yeah. I don't really trust it, to be honest. I only turn it on if there's like something new to see that looks like it'd be really cool, and then only for a few seconds. I've showed 3-d pictures to some of my residents (nursing home) and a few of them have tried to like, feel if they were actually raised.

Tr3vor Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 DSI XL: if the screens are bigger and the resolution is the same size, how could it be beautiful? Its more like a pixely-ass mess IMO. IDK. In my eyes, they should just completely drop the DSI with the 3ds's price drop- so that people won't want the cheaper thing and say "its a DS".

Animan Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I saw one of those DS line displays at Walmart, and I saw this written up for the 3DS (well, roughly): -Amazing 3D graphics and screen quality without the need for special glasses -Enjoy robust built-in software and online features -Chat, send 3D photos, etc. with friends No mention of exclusive games or anything, and the fact they put it right where the DS systems are only made it worse. No wonder the system is selling like crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen one? It works. They're chunky-looking games & you're not going to "hide" the pixels no matter how you look at it, so why not have a nice big screen? Funny to see people complain about pixels on Atari Age, home of the pixeliest pixels what ever got pixed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr3vor Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yeah, but were talking about a modern video game console, not the atari. Besides, old games only look pixely if you play them on an huge 50 inch LCD. I think that the DS lite looks best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say the N64 looks best on a 2.8" screen? Oh, and old games will look pixely not just on huge LCDS, but on nice CRTs with nice connections. Put s-video on a classic system & behold them pixels. Edited August 11, 2011 by Rex Dart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you haven't played one.. it looks fine if not fantastic. The games remain the same resolution of course, but it's not to the point they get pixelated. And this goes for even lower resolution titles such as Gameboy titles. This pic is meant to show how absurd Nintendo is selling Donkey Kong for 4 bucks but not having SGB border support, nor color. But it does show how nice the XL screen can be even with lower res games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animan Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 -Chat, Just curious, is this voice chat or do they mean texting? Text, I think. Now that I think about, it probably said "communicate" instead of "chat". I'd have to go back to Walmart and take a picture or something.
