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

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.

Despite doing so well?
Sure, it didn't outsell the PS1, but it still got pretty good sales figures.

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.

Erm, does anyone else find the 3rd link to be dodgy?
ahahahaha
Also, those Tekken graphics make my eyes bleed.

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.

Please remember that "anti-aliasing" is not the "new" technology that is used to smooth out round edges/circles on PSP graphics. anti-aliasing has been around for years.
Rather than hit back at your preference for the games on N64, I would say that the N64 would have been even better if it had used CD-ROM. You would have had more storage space for larger games, and that 64bit cpu MAY have had a decent chance against the 32bit Sony.
The N64 games were as big as they needed to be. All of the best games on the system are epics, so all the CD format would do is add crappy loading times.
I can't believe this argument is still going on. It's on a par with Forest Fan's ignorant ramblings with nothing to back them up.
Ah well, have fun, personally I'll be having fun playing my Gameboy. You see, some people actually play their consoles rather than inanely quote random technical specs that mean nothing whatsoever. Ever played Minish Cap? Even though it has blurry 2D graphics, it's probably still ten times better than anything you've ever played in your life. Weird that, isn't it? A game can still be good even with dated graphics!

Aye, too true. I still play my Megadrive - some classics on that machine. Oh, and it used cartridges - and the games were around 3mb's; doesn't make them rubbish though.
