    That's mighty impressive!!
    It's nigh-on impossible to buy one over the counter here. Some friends of mine have tried already, I'd be surprised if everyone's preorders have been fulfilled.

    That said, we've not tried today.

      I have mine pre ordered at Gamestation. They sent me a text to say it's reduced now to 219 quid but I feel like I am getting ripped off when it's standard price online is £196

      I don't know if I should cancel my pre order and order from Amazon. Worried they won't have enough stock and I am guaranteed to get the instore pre order. Also got 100 quid on trade in card to go towards.

        100 quid on trade in card more than makes up for a £20 price difference then... Just get the games somewhere cheaper if you can. I imagine they won't be very cheap in Gamestation.

          Didn't you have to pay a deposit anyway? you'd only save about £10 if you got one from somewhere else then, assuming it was a £10 deposit, not £20.

              How does the Final Fantasy DS Lite compare to a normal DS Lite?
              Does it have similar battery life to a regular DS Lite?
              Can we get an unboxing vid for the FF DS Lite?


              3DS stuff:

              heard the Select home and start buttons are membranes not touch sensative. Do they feel tacky and ZX81-ish or are they reasonable quality?

              Is the D-pad comfy?

              Is the menu better than the Wii and DSi's?

                Q1 they aint touch sensitive which i guess makes sense as you dont want to accidently touch them whilst using the touch screen. they havent got the greatest feel to them but does the job.

                Q2 i haven't really used it lol. i like the Slider

                Q3 i dont have a DSi but the menus are slick.. they can be adjusted to show more rows (max 10x6) There seems to be a bewildering amount of stuff which i will eventually work out what they do lol.

                  Does it rock? Is SF4 playable well with the 3DS d-pad? Does it rock? Is the touch screen sort of squidgy (something not really talked about but my DSi touch screen is really soft and squidgy, unlike previous DSs)?

                    Is the 3D screen actually worse/dimmer than the DS Lite's screen, as someone was saying in here earlier?

                      I will probably go for a US one when I choose to dive into the 3DS, but it won't be for now...

                        Yes, like above and in broken record style, how is that dpad for pulling off special moves in SFIV?

                        Comment


                          Would also like to know the answer to that question, too

                          Also, I'd interested to hear about your impressions of Ridge Racer 3D.

                            i found it difficult to play SSF4 with the DPad and unable to do supers regualry but was fine with the analog slider, i was able to do most moves i can do on a stick.

                            The touch screen didn't seen much different to the DSL.

                            The 3D screen seems to be dimmer then the DSL but not so much you would be able to tell straight away only when compaing the 2 together.

                            Ridge Racer is Ridge Racer lol. i love it. The graphics are much better then those videos and very vibrant. Runs super smooth and i didn't experiance any slowdown. If you like Ridge Racer then you will like this. I thought i'd put on Ridge Racers on the PSP to compare. They look quite different as RR3D uses much more variaty colour palate and reminds me of the colourful original PSX RR games, whereas the PSP ver has more of an industrial look. (if you get what i mean)

                              Excellent, cheers.

                              I'm looking to get Ridge Racer along with Pilotwings for launch day.

                                Cheers for the RR impressions. I think I will get that on launch with Pilotwings.

                                Regarding RR, what are the tracks like? I read it has lots of old tracks on it which sounds great but have you seen any originals yet?
