30,000y = $386USD currently.
The premium model will most likely be $359. Electronics typically end up slightly cheaper in the US compared to what the direct conversion shows.
@shok GDDR5 stands for graphics double data rate v5, it is proprietary GPU memory. it is not used in Ram. Current Ram is DDR3, even PC's don't currently use better. DDR4 exists but hasn't been brought to market yet.
Tell that to the other comparable android tabs like the IPad, Galaxy 10.1 and Transformer Prime that have all been selling like hot cakes at the same price.
Gamers need to pull their head out of their backsides and realise the world doesn't revolve around them.
Not every electronic device that releases on this planet is automatically a handheld video game system.
They aren't trying to.
People seem to be forgetting this is an android tablet with an "attachable" controller pad, NOT a handheld video game system like the Vita or 3DS. $499 is the normal industry standard price point.
Samsung Galaxy Tab
IPad
Asus Transformer
All cost $499.
Despite being marketed with an emphasis on gaming, it is still a tablet computer not a video game system, the cost reflects this.
Tegra 3 = The most powerful tablet GPU currently on the market. Nothing gimmick about it.
400 MS points? What happened to giving out the little stuff for free?

Or are they trying to say this *Build a house* is one the the main "expansions"
IMO:
No particular order:
Mario Bros
Mario Bros 3
Super Mario
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the seven stars
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Galaxy
Paper Mario
Mario Paint
Super Mario Sunshine
Mario & Luigi: Bowser inside story
Also for anyone wondering, as much as i love Super Smash Bro's, i don't personally consider it a "Mario" game as it contains multiple...
SMRPG also. Can't believe someone actually did a best mario games list without those 3.
The DS3's sticks are convex, longer, more sensitive, and have a smaller dead zone, all of which improve response and precision.
The D-pad is much better.
The face buttons are analog (pressure sensitive)
I'll admit the 360 controller is much more comfortable to hold but when it comes to actual gaming performance the DS3 is vastly superior. The only aspect of the 360 controller i could say is technically superior is the top triggers (L2...
A most badass characters list that doesn't include solid snake???
And come on, everyone knows Vivi is the most badass character in videogame history. He lit a princess on fire just to make her stop pretending to be dead.
That and PVP is a huge aspect of D2.
Yeah im sure having a level 160 will make farming inferno nice and easy but other than that...
@blumatt:
LOL GTA fanboys are hilarious,
GTA Vice city releases, everyone says it sucks and GTA 3 is the best.
SA releases, everyone says it sucks and Vice city is the best. Major harping towards the excersise and eating mechanics.
GTA4 releases, everyone says it sucks and SA is the best. Complimets its excersise and eating mechanics.
$20 says when GTA5 releases, everyone will be hating on it and saying GTA4 ...
@Tony-A The PSP was $250 in the US and $299 in Canada when it launched so price isn't really a valid argument for the Vita's low sales.

They make good sandwiches also... aww shit another stereotype, now someone is going to write an article complaining about me also.
Thanks, i did look it up. Its not true 5.1.
It is an intresting take on surround headphones but still can't technically be considered 5.1.
Simply having 5 main speakers does not count as 5.1 audio, as i stated in a previous reply, in order to be considered 5.1 the setup must consist of a front center, front left, front right, side left, side right and a single subwoofer or bass unit. Surround headphones including the ones you are talking about, work simil...
So called "Sound Pipes" directing sound like that would introduce reverb and further degrade audio quality.
Is it 5 drivers total across both sides or 5 drivers in each earpiece, If its in each earpiece then its a pseudo 10.2, and even with the sound pipes it still is directing the sound to angles on the side of the head, not the front and back.
The illusion of having sound coming from the front or back is done through digital manipulation of the so...
There is no such thing as a "true" 5.1 headset. It is all just marketing BS.
A true 5.1 setup consists of-
A front center speaker
front left
Front right
Side left
Side right
and the .1 being a sub.
5.1 headsets typically have 3 low grade drivers on each side plus a low frequency driver on each side. That is basically a 6.2 setup with 2 front centers, All of which are smashed together on the si...
@quantae06:
Slightly over 6 years by the time it actually releases.
The Wii released on 11/19/06.
