When the next version of the 3DS comes out and I get one I'm just going to turn on the 3D for each new game I get to look at it then turn it off. I'm glad they gave the option to disable it.

Sort of like how they should always give the option to not use motion controls. Zing!

"But Zach, that's the entire point of the system, they can't give you the option to not use it!!11!!"

Well, they just gave us the option to turn the 3D off of a system called the 3DS.
Argh don't wanna take the bait, its like a dangling carrot

But I don't think user interface is the same as visual output.

3D in my mind is similar to HD in that it enhances the visual clarity of a game, and that's about it. And I assume you know that both PS3 and 360 can output in SD just as much as HD. No difference between choosing your level of 3D on the 3DS.

The better comparison would be if you could turn off the touch screen/motion controls of the handheld if you didn't want it.

Lol it was some article from some tech website I saw through a link through 4chan.
Well that just sounds 100% credible.


Anyways, to those who have it - how is the 3DS?
Strengths/Weaknesses.

Pretty simple, almost everything is a strength right now. The weaknesses are battery power (which is tough to fix without spending money) and the lack of games. I'm perfectly happy with the gaggle of built-in software, Ridge Racer, and Steel Diver though. I may pick up PilotWings eventually and I'll definitely be getting Zelda. (Insert "all of them, over and over" Penny Arcade joke here.)

So, seriously, nobody here has this? I'm looking for friend codes that aren't random scuzzy internet people. My 360 and PS3 are full of those.
