Too bad they don't get out of the house.
Maybe it's meant for the bathroom?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

... but ... but ... maybe now they COULD! Don't you want to see their unkempt, unwashed selves, frantically searching the city for where to buy cheetos and greasy pizza? Marvel at their lack of real social skills as they never tear eyes and fingers away from screen and keyboard?

Yeah, you're right, I don't either.

To quote my friend; "They should call it the Hiroshima because it's going to BOMB."

I still kind of want it just to have it. I like owning ridiculous things.

- Hey man, wanna come with us for a coffee at Starbucks?
- No can do. I'm playing WOW now.
- Are you an idiot? You can bring your Jungle with you.
- Oh, right! I didn't thought that! I'm on my way.

And that's how your social life is saved! :D Oh, wait... :shock:

If, by some miracle, Panasonic is able to have Blizzard port WOW to the Jungle, then this will certainly be a force to be reckoned with in the next generation of handhelds. But, that won't happen.

Heh, I see the number of traffic accidents due to a driver being in the middle of a raid for epics increasing.

If this gets World of Warcraft and/or League of Legends, it will outsell the PSP2. I'm almost kinda nearly completely certain about this.

I'm seeing it more for homebrew capability. Imagine old DOS games on this thing. Planescape: Torment to go!

Panasonic priced themselves out of the game last time with the 3DO. So if they want to play ball this time around, they'll need to keep it close to their competitors (iPhone, PSP, DS/3DS), if not go lower
Iphone? You can't be serious? You want it to cost $800? I don't!
What are you talking about - you can get an iPhone for $300 or less depending on what model it is and where you get it!?

That was the price to buy one without a contract, although I'm sure he was being facetious.
