"Watch out Nintendo..."

...you only have another 4 months until another handheld joins the market...


...I mean, September! Are Sony trying to pee the UK off or something?

Is it really?
Didn't think of it that was when I read the announcement thinger.

I just thought it meant it could accept wireless signals from your house (so you'd need wireless internet anyway)

So it can plug into a broadband modem and project wireless internet signals as well?

Nintendo's new Revolution system is supposed to double as a wireless router.

If it wasn't wireless, it'd have to be connected with a wire (heh, clever old me ^_^) but unless they release some sort of complicated port add-on, through the GBA slot or whatever, I doubt it. I even doubt that, I don't think the GBA slot could be used for that sort of thing.

You can either go somewhere that has wi-fi or buy a wireless aerial for your house which costs about £30.

Isn't there another way they could let you play online with your DS without having to have a wireless internet?

And not many DS games will support it ... well, about as much when DS Wi-Fi launches as PSP has now.
Blah, no-one cares.
And what's that got to do with anything?

Limited because not many PSP games support the feature. It is limited because Sony still do not have a big online service. It is limited because it is not being pushed as a major factor behind the console.

No, no it's limited because you'll only be able to play PSP games online. Duuh!!!!

How limited is that, then?
Being able to take it out the box and play someone half-way across the world straight away?

I think Sony know what they're doing, you know. They haven't just picked some random date - they know a lot more about this than you do just trust them stop being so cynical!
