I also agree I have no intrest in 3d at all because

1.when I watched 3d twenty years ago it made me feel sick I think its all those things flying towards you.

2.I think it would mess with your eyes and from what I've been reading it does untill it gives you a headache.

3.I wear glasses when watching tv this makes it even more complex and theres no way I'm paying about £200 for them.

4.genral expence of 3d products.

As for the ds I'd rather get a old one that plays gba carts and games.The old ds system is also smaller and is cheaper.

Racketboy now has more than 6000 users. A full half of them joined in January 2010 or later (a 1.5 year period) while the other half joined in the 2005-2009 period (4 years). Why is the site gaining new users so quickly lately? Is the site becoming (gasp!) mainstream?

It's okay. If we go mainstraim, all the retro-hipsters will leave, and then we'll be a niche community again!

Well, it looks like I am cursed to never own a working Master System. I recently bought another one right here off of Racketboy Forums, under the condition that it had to be in absolutely perfect working order. When I got it, I plugged it in, and it was, unsurprisingly, broken. The power LED comes on, but there is no signal going to the TV; not even a blank black screen! I have tried different power adapters and RF cables, but none of them will show anything on the screen. For the record, this is the 5th Master System I have owned, and not a single one has worked.

Ok, you have to be doing something wrong. :P

What power bricks, RF cables, games, and TV are you using?

If there already isn't a wasabi infused mayonnaise called Japannaise, I'm going to be a millionaire.

I don't know, but there's a line of kosher Asian seasonings called "Soy Vay."

Did you know the phrase "Having a hair up your ass" originates from the early 1900's when farmers would have to chase rabbits out of mule ranches?
