Serebii Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 You can't really complain about the "Sweet Spot". Even in cinemas, the angle you sit at affects the 3D effectiveness considerably. Also, what's wrong with the touchscreen?
or else you will DIE Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Also, what's wrong with the touchscreen? Like with the rest of the system, there is nothing really wrong with it, it's just another feature that could have been improved on. How? Having it be more responsive to fingers would be nice. Having multi touch would be nice. I'm not saying get rid of the stylus, but why can't we have both accuracy AND sensitivity? With the popularity and possibilities of say, the iPhone, the touch screen of the DS/3DS just feels limited and, well, dated.
Serebii Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 In my experiences with the iPhone, the touchscreens arent accurate and there's a delay. I prefer it like this
Caris Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I'm sorry but that is total rubbish, it's been physically proven in tests that the iPhone has the most accurate touch screen that's ever been shipped. Also going by the posts just above it looks like with the brightness half way, 3D on and WIFI on were going to get around 2-3 hours use. Which is exactly what I said months ago. As much as I love the console, that battery life is shit. Edited March 21, 2011 by Caris
Serebii Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 In my experience, it's not. If it were just on one, then it could be an issue with that unit, but it's been on every single one I have ever used
wooks63 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Had a phone call from my local Gamestation. Everyone who's pre-ordered through the store will get their 3DS. Also, they're doing a midnight launch event and everyone who attends will have their name put in a draw, with the winner getting their 3DS free! I asked how many they were expecting and was told that, so far, only 13 people had confirmed - that's huge odds for getting a free console. Wasn't originally going to go, but this may just have persuaded me. Plus if I get it at midnight, there's more chance me being one of the first 3000 to register and getting the free T-Shirt.
Serebii Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Anyone had theirs from GAME "shipped" yet? Mine's been on packing since Thursday
ReZourceman Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Apparently GAME are sending them out on Friday morning. LOLOLOLOL JKZ.

Ganepark32 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I'm sorry but that is total rubbish, it's been physically proven in tests that the iPhone has the most accurate touch screen that's ever been shipped. Wanted to pick up on this. The 'studies' I could find only tested other smartphones (HTCs, etc.) and didn't look at anything else so that's not a claim you can accurately claim. Similarly, they're not real studies. A true study requires some form of statistical analysis of empirical data to determine whether there is a significant improvement of one item over another in a comparison and the ones I found were conducted simply by people who had access to the devices and thought they'd test out the touch screen responsiveness. I'm not saying it isn't the most responsive, although my very brief experience has shown there is a slight delay between the press and the action being carried out with an iPhone, but what you're stating hasn't been shown in independent, peer reviewed research. That's all. I do agree, though, that they could have and perhaps should have improved the touch screen this time around for multitouch as it wouldn't have added much to the cost of the unit.
Caris Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I'll try and find the article I read, it was a while back now though.
Ronnie Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Our review! Click the box! Great review, thanks, really well written
Cube Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I'll try and find the article I read, it was a while back now though. The best I could find is this, which isn't exactly great scientific study into it. It also doesn't apply to the kind of screen used in the 3DS as the 3DS needs the stylus (which probably makes it way more accurate than the big fat blob you use on the iPhone touch screen).
Serebii Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 My friend's 3DS has apparently left the building Mine has not
ShadowV7 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 My friend's 3DS has apparently left the building Mine has not I have games on the way, the console is not ._.
Serebii Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 They havent even started processing my Pilotwings I had an email from GAME but accidentally lumped it in with my spam
Ike Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 My friend's 3DS has apparently left the building Mine has not It'll probably just be sitting in another building until Thursday anyway :P
Serebii Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 It'll probably just be sitting in another building until Thursday anyway :P Still, I'd like it to say "Shipped" I worry the email is something important and I accidentally deleted the thing that means I get my 3DS lol Has anyone elses from GAME not had theirs dispatched yet? If this is an issue on my end, I need to get it sorted. A friend who ordered after me having it "dispatched" already and mine sitting on "Order Committed" irks me
Goron_3 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Serebii, reading this page makes you sound like Canand and the whole 'has my heart gold copy been shipped' fiasco

A friend who ordered after me having it "dispatched" already and mine sitting on "Order Committed" irks me I got an email saying my 3DS has been dispatched! YEY!! Here's hoping for a nice surprise Wednesday or Thursday... Where was it said they would be help with the courier?
Debug Mode Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I imagine Game dispatches are going to be like the whole Black and White situation, they say it's dispatched but that's just to get the payment in for it. Black and White did the same thing, I got the dispatch notice like many people on the Monday but it was clear they didn't dispatch til Tuesday/Wednesday, even my friend with next day delivery didn't get his on Tuesday when it had supposedly dispatched Monday.
Serebii Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) Serebii, reading this page makes you sound like Canand and the whole 'has my heart gold copy been shipped' fiasco Ouch. I'll be quiet then lol I imagine Game dispatches are going to be like the whole Black and White situation, they say it's dispatched but that's just to get the payment in for it. Black and White did the same thing, I got the dispatch notice like many people on the Monday but it was clear they didn't dispatch til Tuesday/Wednesday, even my friend with next day delivery didn't get his on Tuesday when it had supposedly dispatched Monday. Possible. I think he ordered the Aqua Blue while I got the Cosmos Black so it makes sense. It's just the fact I accidentally deleted an e-mail from them which worries me Edited March 21, 2011 by Serebii Automerged Doublepost
ReZourceman Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Get a grip Serebii. Get a hold of yourself man. Didn't Dyson say GAME weren't sending out till (later in the week) (Thursday?)
