Ok then. I`ll get the xl version.

I like how Nintendo is getting bigger with theire stuff while sony get slim versions of theire consoles out

edit:

I just searched on amazone. Is there a DS XL version with the joystick or is this just the DSi. and what is DSi anyway?

[Philippa]

and what is DSi anyway?

Basically a normal DS but with a camera and a few very basic applications like a voice recorder. Same buttons, same layout.

And no GBA port either, sadly. That's what encouraged me to stick with my old DSlite until the 3DS came out.

As 4/20 draws to a close and the marijuana smoke begins to clear, we prepare for 4/21... Also known as national surprise drug testing day.

Hope you drank lots of water.

Hey look, Mr. "don't be evil" is trying to find excuses to gobble up more rights of American's in the name of "privacy" all the while supporting a bill that will allow his company to hand over any personal info they have to government agencies for a ****ing profit!

I'd suggest anyone here who still gives a sh** about telerobotics make a big deal about this asshole, and anyone who agrees with his words.


Eat sh** Schmidt.

I don't need communism in the US.  Ban those damn spy bots.

And while we are at it, lets arrest all those damn people who use their phones to record high res videos.  Ban and remove all those embarrassing youtube videos that are recorded without consent.

I just think it's funny that he calls them "drones."

****ing idiot needs to keep his mouth shut until he reads a book or two. Or a Wikipedia article for that matter.

just bought the Nintendo 3DS XL. The  last time I bought a nintendo console was the Gameboy Advance SP. But why do I have to buy the charging cable for 10€ seperatly? Nindendo became really stupid.

You should have realised that Nintendo is run by autistic monkeys after they released the Wii-U, after they made huge losses on the Wii.

They sold loads of Wiis. But they make losses on the consoles, they make their money and software sales. Poor third party support due to the pointless and annoying gimmick (motion control) and a lack of popular games due to crappy hardware lead to very poor software sales in comparison to the Xbox and PS3. IIRC, Nintendo made huge losses on the Wii.

They made profit on every Wii. It's the 3DS and Wii U that killed it.
And I knew the 3rd party argument would come up. There are some great games if you dig enough. Last Wii game I bought was House of the Dead: Overkill which was... so much fun.

WTF?  Mine came with the charger.  Nintendo must not like Europe.  I've been looking at the games library, and I think they've finally announced some games that would compel me to buy a Wii U; Game & Wario and Pikmin 3.  I'll probably wait till a price drop or the newer version, but a new Paper Mario would get me to buy it in a heartbeat.
