Wow, I feel stupid after these responses.... in a good way. I thought stereo was specifically left and right 2 speaker audio. Thx.
7.1? It clearly says stereo headset in the first pic.
@Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: I guess that's up to you. Just thought it was humerous that you're defending nintendo for something they've probably never (publically) said while I have to defend myself for something I've definitely never said.
@DominusSapientia: I hope they do. I dont like achievements either but the fact is that Sony and Microsoft have at least been trying to keep up with each either while nintendo seems to not care. 'Meh that sounds hard. We sold a kabillion wii's without it so why bother.' problem is this extends to HD, surround sound, custom soundtracks, system updates, etc etc, and everything else nintendo (and you) think they may or may not need.
@Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: I'm sure you don't say everything you think either.
This is just a bullshit excuse. Nintendo doesn't have the online identity and account infrastructure to pull something like this off so they just act like their games are too good for them. Theyre still dealing with friends codes, they obviously just dont give a shit and it's starting to look lazy. Even Sony isn't as guilty of thinking their farts smell like roses as they are.
Sooo..... why is the joystick thing white?
@GamerKT: My preorder said it was coming from Amazon.com LLC. Got super saver shipping too. So no doubt it's from Amazon themselves, they'd be the last people I'd think would screw anyone.
@nintendude73: How the hell did you find that? No amount of searching '3ds black' turned it up.
Elites (and presumably any enemy that melees with a weapon) can deflect plasma grenades. Guess you'll have to take my word for it though, cus that be one freak accident.
@yadspi: A lot of it isn't even about the color. $300 is a lot of money, and I prefer not just shoving cash down Nintendo's throat everytime they tell me to go get desert. They should have black and white by default for this type of thing. That way no one is stuck with an odd color. The lime green an flourescent pink people know they'll need to wait anyway.
@-MasterDex-: Sure as hell. I want a black one, and if I can't come across one I'll wait. I'm not going to give Nintendo of all companies $300 for something I'll be unhappy with by default.
I think the article title should have been 'Does the 3DS price really matter?' Followed by the body- 'IT'S GOT OCARINA OF FREAKING TIME.'
@subnet6: I was simply commenting on the limit. Who's to decide how big a gaming family could be? Someone had to make the call, no use reading into. I'm sure MS in no way thinks that a family is ideally 4 people. The limit is there because of profiles. They've already got a kajillion users making boosting accounts. If they could let anyone on the box make a new Live account whenever they feel like it things would only get far worse. At least this way they got stopped at 4. You've got to agree that there'd be a lot of people out there that would make a retarded amount of gold accounts for no reason other than they can.
@Shiryu: There are no drivers for them, but you can look up ways to get them working. Personally though I don't recommend it. I tried to do it through bluetooth on my laptop and totally screwed everything up. It would be way easier to just mod the 360 controller to your liking.
@subnet6: Oh come on. They can't just keep increasing the limit, they have to stop somewhere. This is going to get abused just like everything else.
@gurfinki: I'll admit, I'm a pretty big 360 fanboy. It really doesn't matter either way, if there wasn't an Xbox version I'd definitely be playing it on my PS3. Having a big game like this that I love on my 'games played' list is a joy to me. This is a game I want to make sure my friends see that I'm playing. ....anyway, I keep hearing these sensational headlines, and I was really starting to worry. But I watched that video and really could not see a difference. I squinted as hard as I could, and there was very, very minimal difference if anything. So yeah, if I can't tell a difference when they're side by side, I'm certainly not going to care when I'm actually playing the game. Even if there was a pretty big difference, it's not worth crying over if you don't know any better. Sometimes it's just better to be ignorant.
Sony's Bluray? As in for the PS3 games? Cus the eco bluray case out now looks like this.
