I'm not sure why region locking can't just die.  It mainly serves to piss people off and encourage piracy.

Amen!

I won't pirate games, but the region lock really Pisses me off. I planned to import that Star Wars game from the US. >:(

Managed to pre-order my 3DS for £169.99! Lucky me!

After reading this and seeing features I didn't even realise were on the system makes me want it even sooner!

Who else has pre-ordered?


I've pre-ordered mine too. Is £169.99 the deposit you put down or the actual price you are paying for the system?


It's the actual price, it was originally £196.99 but I had a £50 voucher for my birthday which was lucky!

You might want to double check that £50 voucher.

I can understand region-locking for games you actually intend to release in all regions (that way one region can't leech sales off another, which would, say, hurt NoA's numbers or NoE's numbers in the long run), but you only hurt yourself as far as games you never intend to release outside Japan. If only locking could be applied on a game-by-game basis, then its utility could be optimized while not discouraging sales of region-exclusive games or encouraging homebrew



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Has anyone said anything about okemon black/white on 3ds? Does the game not take up the full screen? Does it still look good?



Have you talked to other people about their 3DSes? Does the overall opinion seem good?

I was never truly hyped for 3DS' extra features until now - Actually, I had never bothered to look at the extra features until now - I guess I was blinded by seeing the new Paper Mariooooo reveal! :D

I especially liked the video about AR games and 3D pictures :)



A little easter egg was found in a Nintendo 3DS Teardown

When the microphone picks up the characteristic noise of wind blowing by the device, it will spin the background live icons in the top screen as if they were in a tornado. :D

Also I didn't notice the 3DS had an IR port. What is that used for?

EDIT: To asnwer myself. Just noticed it might be used for game backwards compatibility or to use with the pedometers, maybe an additional way to obtain coins? They could release compatible software online now since there is no need for an IR port in the card. Hmmm, thought on buying these before but the use seemed limited.

You say tomato, I say tomato 

"¡Viva la Ñ!"

The mic thing is a nice addition. If you blow or talk into the mic on the music screen you can "see" your voice. Maybe I should up a video of that?

That IR connection might have a lot of uses. E.g. with my cell phone I can send pics to my printer (without the need to take the memory card out), maybe that's possible with the 3DS too after an update.
