Topic: Why Nintendo Doesn't Get It (Regarding New DS Rumor)

Just cuz I crap on it, doesn't mean I don't love it. Besides, that's why I buy saran wrap.

Instead of a DSi XL I bet you wish it was a XL DSL, then there would be nothing to complain about.

this conversation is really "deep"

I don't think anyone but tech geeks care about the number of pixels, and that's mostly irrelevant to gaming anyway. What I'd like to see is a resolution increase, to make it equal to the standard television resolution of 640x480 (or whatever widescreen is, 800x480?).

It's funny you say that because the entire reason HD TV looks better than standard def is because of more lines of resolution per inch.  If all we did was make a 480p set 60% larger, it would have just looked like a huge grainy piece of crap.

They used to make televisions like that, they looked fine to me.

heheh that is true. They did used to look fine. I never liked rear projection TVs, but they had a way of making a continuous image without making it too blurry. That the thing about high intensity light though, that when theres a degree of dispersion from high intensity light, it doesn't look so bad. I never liked playing games on them though. Too blurry. One day my friend bought a rear projection tv and i scolded him, and he replaced it with an hd tv. One trick to lower resolutions is higher frame rates.
