The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
On The Gadget Show tonight, they had a top 10 gadgets of all time and after they looked at some things that could be future greats.
1st up was the PSP and the DS. They completely slated the DS, they said it had 2 screens and was by Nintendo but they failed to mention the touch-screen, microphone and wireless connections.They also said it looked and felt cheap, which
I suppose is sort-of true.
However, they said the PSP had wireless connection and looked amazing, they then plunged into the Sony fanboy realms of topscore and macintosh and continued to say how great it is(n't) and that everyone will want one.
Methinks Sony gave five some extra pocket money this week.

That flight sucks.I didn't sit near the toilet but it is still a crappy flight.It was made worse by the fact the food was shocking and I couldn't sleep.

I criticise NGC's DS scoring system. I dont find scoring out of 5 is very accurate. They do write quite a bit on each game but to summarise and give it up to 5 stars seems a bit strange when they score Cube games out of 100.
T4cast this morning. Rated three games.
Timesplitters FP : rated as a PS2 only game which is highly annoying got a 'Moderate'
Some Xbox racing game : got 'Hot'
and Super Mario 64 DS was given a 'Scorching' review.
Not as high profile I know, but publicity all the same.

DS sells like console-shaped hotcakes

Crikey. Nintendo tell us they've just flogged 87,000 DS handhelds over the weekend, which is pretty damn impressive. Anecdotal evidence seems to back this up: we've already spied genuine members of the public playing on their DS. We've still got our reservations on the actual hardware but the more games we play on the handheld, the more we're starting to see its potential (*sound of one Stuffer eating humble pie*). And £100 is a good price, too.
sorry i would have posted the link i just cba with the click here thing.

Sony are the worst offenders for shoddy build quality. Loads of my friends have had their PS2's break on them!
And I got an email from DVDBoxoffice.com saying that they won't be checking US PSP's for dead pixels because they aren't covered by the warranty anymore. I guess Sony can't be bothered to keep their consumers happy.
