The graphics are nothing special, and it's going down that "Everything is 3D, so it's better!" route, that portable gaming has avoided until now.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Thats a good point, plus i hardly ever find myself away from the house wishing i had a portable game system. I suppose i could actually play it while at home, but there are still a ton of cool games for the PS2 and PC that i havent even gotten to yet laying around.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Well, i didnt agree with that point, only the one were everything will be 3D now because "3D is better!".</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Ummm, yeah, graphics-wise.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The entire appeal of it comes from the fact that it's going to offer a different type of gameplay. If you don't like that, don't get it. Graphics are around PSX quality, is that a problem?</div>

[Lox]

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Ok, I was just making sure you didn't mean the PSP instead of the DS or something.</div>

[Lox]

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>And supposedly the DS isn't the successor to the GBA so who knows what they're doing next.</div>

[Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It's "technically" not, but the thing can play the GBA games to help it make up for the few titles at launch and there's gonna be tie-ins to GBA games (Pokemon Dash), so it's gonna be seen as one</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Yes yes, touch screen, I'm aware.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>A portable PS1? Maybe, Only with many more capablities and a completely different line-up of games.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>oh it takes me 45 minutes to get to my office, only i live in suburbia so i drive. If mass transit was more widely available i would consider it.</div>
