Makes you wonder what the hell took them so long! I've been seeing a lot of ads for LA Remix both on the net and on tv. The tv ads kinda surprised me at first because it's rare that you see Sony actually advertise the fact that the PSP exists. Hopefully they keep it up!

This is good! :D
I've noticed, at least on my channels, the DS hasn't had soo many commercials.

Yeah, the new DSi looks interesting.
Hopefully they'll be good games that come out for it.
I hate that they did away with GameBoy, though... :(


I read that article too, TEIN.

DSI has not been advertised yet. I dont like that nintendo is just changing what they already have, they need something new, like a wii with awesome graphix

Well, I don't usually base games off of their graphics.
I like originality and gameplay. :D

Wait...what's a DSi?

Wow, that looks pretty dope.
Too bad it doesn't have backward compatibility. :\

I really don't understand why anyone would go out and get a DSi. The camera is pointless, which makes the SD card pointless. The screen has crap resolution so who would want to view photos on the thing anyway. And while I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before it is hacked, it isn't now and flash carts are plentiful for the DS lite.

Nintendo, like Sony, took the former model and added some simple piece of crap to the mix to package the same product in an unmodable package.

PSP 2000 + Mic = PSP 3000
DS lite + Worthless camera = DSi

excuse me while I don't jump out of my seat...

The DSi can't load flashcarts but someone got some games to run through an exploit in the picture viewer kinda like the TIFF exploit from a super long time ago.

Yeah, I do know that it has been hacked, but IMHO, the DSi offers nothing to make me want to buy it. Yes, something has been loaded, but who knows when/if that will lead to an easy solution like the flash carts out for current gen DS's. And personally, for the dinky handheld that the DS is, any kind of time consuming hack is really not worth it.

The PSP acts as a PMP... a GOOD one at that. If I had to get in there and solder to get CFW on it, I probably would because it is worth the effort. Don't get me wrong though. I'm glad that it is being hacked a whatnot, because there are those who want it and would like to see it hacked. But I do think that a consumer boycott of the DSi and PSP 3000 would be nice so we can show companies that stupid pointless hardware updates like these 2 wastes of money have won't be tolerated.

The DSi will get custom firmware. The guy who discovered and exploited the picture exploit already started making Custom Firmware that would allow Flashcarts to be ran.

I did see that racing game commercial, and another where the game/movie would appear on the persons shirt while they had their psp in their hands.
