from chunky to cool

[swordstalker]

everybody knows the old look ds looked a bit of rubbish cos of the chunky style nintendo went for

now nintendo have answerd eveyones prayers and changed the design of it to look cool and slim

now i think the nintendo ds will be on everyones to buy list, it is already on mine

How much are they going to cost?

[Cap'n 1time]

I dont think nintendo has anounced anything official. but i read somewhere $180 usd. not sure how much that is gbp. It is quite a bit for a handheld system... heck its alot for a brand new console.

-edit: concidering that it might be like a fully functional pocket pc.. mabey it will be worth it. does anyone know all the functions it has? I think it does more than just play games.

looks like its made out of bakealite, very old fashioned, that portable dvd player looks very groovy why cant nintendo use the same size screen much bigger and the unit is cheaper too.

I have no idea what you just said... the DS dosnt even use dvd hardware. It uses some kind of memory cartridge.

The screens themselves are marginally more high resolution than the GBA, with two 256 x 192 resolution panels included in the spec., compared to the 240 x 160 panel in the GBA.

The whole reason I didnt wanna buy DS was it ugly ass design and its low power. Now I just dont wanna buy it because of its extremly high price for extremly low performance when compared to PSP.
