TBH though once homebrew is possible, so will piracy. I wonder whether a balance will ever be struck. MAybe another 5 years in the future.

So who wants an UK 3DS? Or are you lot holding out for the US version? TBH games can get really cheap in the UK once they have clearance sales (except for Ninty games though - they never seem to have a price crash).

Quite poor, esp when compared to the DS lite. It's about 3-5 hours with most of the bells & whistles.

Found a link to a recording of the US press conference - http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=147927

I nearly convinced myself to buy this on day one when I saw that Japan had sold out their pre-orders.

Then I thought, "if I was still in KL, it would cost me more than a month's rent to buy it". That helped put things in perspective.

I can wait. I can wait. I can wait x 10. (I can always look up Kyo if I really need one )

It went for roughly RM900 when it was first launched. I bought my DS phat for RM890 then.

I just saw that they've got 3DS demo stalls near my office in London - woot! Time to get some 3D gaming on

Be sure you just the battery capacity of those 3rd party batteries to make sure that they're indeed larger than the 3DS one.
