Compared to the competition its pretty underpowered as well. Not too mention it needs to render a scene twice on the top screen and render the bottom screen.
Also in my opinion 3D is really gimmicky I don't like it in movies and im sure I won't like it on a console either.
Oh and one more nitpick it's too much like a toy. The little switches everywhere really are not modern. The PSP2 and the iPhone 4 look a lot better aesthetically.
@ Yeah, friends code are present the 3DS codes are only 12 digits in length. ;) Much more manageable.
that's why it'll probably take a couple of years for those to be as comfortable to use (as TV sets)as glasses 3D is today
based on what DJ just said, it seems glasses-less 3D isnt anywhere near ready yet. the whole "sweet spot" thing just seems rediculous, especially for a handheld, where chances are you WILL move it slightly while playing, i mean, 2-3cm isnt exactly a lot. otherwise it looks nice. just a bit too expensive for what it is. will probably do as i did with the DS, wait for the lite version, and get it for less.
Thanks alot DJ for the videos =)
End.
I'm surprised that moving the 3DS like that is so detrimental. All the news coverage for this handheld has been SOOOOOO positive. How is that possible?
