Why is the DS the first handheld they have used a 3D chip in?
Come on it's not like 3D chips are new

Aha.
He says the N64 couldn't do FMV at all, then says it was rubbish at FMV when it did it.
Shame the N64 had around 35 top quality games.

You mean Resident Evil 2? The one game with FMV that was ported to the cube?
> All the games had this blur affect on them.
You mean anti-aliasing? The very effect that the PSP uses to reduce the jagged edges on the games? When was the last time you looked at a PSONE game? Seriously? You seem to be living in some fantasy world where Playstation games were as crisp and defined as Xbox ones, and where CDs meant that graphics could be better. Newsflash, ratboy, the N64 had better graphics.

Are you sure? As far as I am aware, £70 was the release price for Turok only, and my brother paid £15 for his.

Aye, for I'd rather watch games than play them.

It was a RAM upgrade. Not just for graphics. As for the 'blur' - I didn't notice it when I played games.

Sure, it didn't outsell the PS1, but it still got pretty good sales figures.

How much did it cost, then ratboy? It is better built and has better quality DVD playback than any PS2 that you're going to buy, and, to boot, it can actually play some half decent games! The aesthetic appeal was much higher than any of the current three consoles, the only problem was that Panasonic only released it in Japan, and released it too late after the GC launch for it to make much of an impact.
As for CDs being better than cartridges, who cares? Surely the games are more important. I can think of possibly 3 PSX games worth playing, but I can think of well over 15 N64 games which were absolute classics.
You know, you should try Myst 4, you'd cream yourself over it. It comes on 4 CDs and has the prettiest graphics you'll ever see this side of an Nvidia tech demo. And to boot, it's like paying £30 for a digitised crossword!! WONDERFUL!

Oh yeh and to top score or macintosh whoever replied to me (you both as dumb as each other)
1)The Q was released only in Japan so how the hell is it meant to get popular in the UK which im guessing is where you live.
2)I myself am a cretin. I didnt want DVD playback, i have a DVD player with my big tv in the living room. I wanted the Q because it was shiney(sp?).

Point out all the disadvantages you like, but there's only one difference worth anything.
The carts had decent games put on them, the CDs did not.
