Posted October 10, 2010 I too have a problem with GT videos on here except they do play but I can only see part of the video as if its trying to play the video on GT or in fullscreen through the small window on this site. First post and it appears my username stretches the forum, awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2010 Interesting little video. Must say that there is one question that I WISH people would answer. Is the thumbstick any good? Yes, it is. Now go and get your pre-order in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2010 Good to realise a few other people on the forum having this problem too! LOL, that'll teach me to bluff it! The video doesn't work for me either, but I just assumed I didn't have Adobe Flash 10! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2010 I really hope Nintendo allow you to play NES / SNES games on this at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2010 It really is quite fugly looking side-on. Not that it matters that much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 11, 2010 I really hope Nintendo allow you to play NES / SNES games on this at some point. Never. They'd rather forcefully make sure people need to own both systems to play the entire back catalogue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 12, 2010 Uhm, nothing is showing for me? I've been having this problem with GT videos embedded here for a wee while now.. and I'm pretty sure I have Adobe Flash Player 10 as I suspected that could be the problem.. What browser and OS you boys using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 12, 2010 The video didn't show up at first for me, but it did later. Using Vista and Chrome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 12, 2010 Hmm may well be internet explorer related then.No doubt about it man. Everything that goes wrong on the internet is IE's fault. I'm on good old Firefox, vids play fine for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 13, 2010 Like the real man I am, I'm using Firefox 4 Beta 6. I also like to ride ponies through the Himalayas while eating yoghurt with a fork. Anyway, occasionally I get the same problems as reported. Sounds like a dodgy player than needs upgrading to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 13, 2010 The front page story about Japanese gamers not liking the 3DS price is interesting. Maybe Nintendo will realise they cant get away with setting ridiculously high profit margins this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 13, 2010 Why would you people use Internet Explorer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 13, 2010 Stating that something is expensive does not equate to "disliking" it, per se. That's misleading as it suggests such a percentage of people will hold out from buying it, which is obviously nonsense. It's certainly not inexpensive, so I guess I'd have to say that it's expensive. There's no way of getting around that. It's a new console after all. That won't stop me from buying it on day one. Too few people take the time to weigh things up. Gamers can't have it both ways. They can't expect a console to offer something fresh and innovative with (crucially) significantly beefed up hardware AND fall in-line with an affordable-to-all ethos. Not that my point is really aimed so much at that Japanese survey, as I genuinely don't think it's as damning to the 3DS' price as many outlets are reporting. And don't even get me started on this embarrassingly contrived notion which is being reported everywhere that "it's only expensive because people liked it at E3". Give us non-ignorant people a break and let's try and move on from viral tabloidism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) I am fairly positive that Nintendo could sell it (and still make a very comfortable profit) at a noticibly lower price. Noticeably lower enough anyway to change the general perception that the launch price is currently quite expensive. I don't have strong evidence of this hardware cost wise I admit, but I don't see any reason why they'd have changed their business approach now. They certainly overpriced the Wii significantly, with the intention of making a large profit margin on old technology by heavily marketing its new features. It basically paid off for them, so I expect they want to take the same approach with 3DS (which I'm aware has far more impressive technology for its time than the Wii, but is likely still pretty conservative when it comes to hardware costs for the guts of the machine). I do think too that in 2010, many people's attitude (at least where I'm from) to buying something "expensive" is different than it was in 2004 or 2006 due to being in a tighter financial situation. I think older gamers especially are less likely to buy something expensive now than in the past. This is probably going to give Nintendo difficulties in recapturing its "expanded audience" again. At this price level so far it's mainly going to cater to hardcore gamers who'll pay any price for the system and those among the casual crowd who have a decent chunk of cash to spare. If Nintendo really want massive sales at this kind of price point then they're going to need one hell of a marketing campaign. Considering that they can't actually show the 3D effect in most ads without some kind of Reggie-face-being-burnt-off gimmick, this is going to be seriously difficult. I hope they've got strong plans lined up to get real 3D adverts in cinemas before virtually every family or teen oriented 3D movie in the near future. They really need to build hype as early as possible. Edited October 13, 2010 by James McGeachie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2010 Here's something I just thought about, only slightly 3DS related but I didn't want to make a whole new thread on the subject but what's teh chances of Sony now making their PSP2 with a similar non-glasses 3D screen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2010 Probably a fair chance now since it's Sony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
