You had the thumbstick on the top.  Most people didn't do that.

I need to sleep, I read that as "cats are the future," and I concurred.

[ThePerm]

cats are the future too!

and if someone said it with the right accent, no-one would hear otherwise!

I am very pleased with it. As someone who dosen't see in 3D, I'm glad to hear that they are offering a way to disable 3D. Sometimes there is a new movie I want to see on opening day but is only availible in 3D for the opening week, (Alice, Toy Story 3) and I have to wait a couple weeks before the 2D version is out, and I am glad this will be accomidating for me

Nintendo agrees!

By don't see in 3D, you mean you only have one eye? because I know some people have problems with 3D movies, but many times is because of the glasses and other factors, if you have a pair of functional eyes you might be able to see the 3D in the 3DS even if movies don't work for you.

So when the slider is off, are their *any* notable impairments as opposed to a standard screen?  Or does it just look "normal"?

[Jonnyboy117]

When the slider is off, the display looks totally normal. The graphics are still much better than current DS, of course.

[Kytim89]

Is the surface of the 3DS glossy or matte?

There are more possible reasons AFAIK, I've got misaligned eyes so the images are too far apart for the brain to interpret any depth information into them.

I'd love to know if people who can't see 3D with the glasses have a problem with this tech.  What's nice is they can try it out and see if it works for them and if it does, great.  But if it doesn't, they can still turn off the 3D effect and just play 2D.  Nintendo was very smart to think of that slider. They don't alienate those people this way.

The resolution stuff confuses me too, I figured that a higher resolution than the PSP was a no brainer for a device coming out in 2010.

My phone has a 800x480 pixel display.  However, I've got to say, 3D games really don't need that kind of resolution.  It looks a little nicer, but I'm much happier that they seem to have spent the money on GPU power and 3D tech (you need twice the polygon pushing power, fill-rate and the special screen).
