I've seen recently some that have set 3 monitors up the same size in a row for like Unreal 2004. and normal display in middle. then he could see extra out to each side on each monitor left and right. helpful to know whos coming that you wouldnt normally see.

only question i have is whether the gimmick will wear off on DS. because obviously the standard is not to have 2 screens and its not really needed because i doubt consoles will ever do it.
I think that's the point of having a second screen to offer an experience you can't get on consoles or in this case other handhelds.

Of course, it all depends on how the second screen is used, I mean thus far it only seems to be used for maps and the likes, but I'm sure it would help in other genres.
