Close proximity.

Chain Chomp, is that you?

[lawgik2000]

 Close proximity ~damn~ ok not buying here i come psp
does that apply to multi player

Wow. Your decision on whether or not to buy a DS was based solely on how PictoChat funtions?
I'm not sure, but PicoChat may have worldwide chat capabilities with Wi-Fi. I don't think that's been confirmed though. Anyone know for sure?  

[lawgik2000]

please i like to know to about that wi-fi world  capabilities
and yes my decision on whether or not to buy a DS was based solely on how PictoChat funtions
because i like to play games and chat you knoww kill two birds with one stone

OK pictochat can only be used at close range, but you cant play most other games online using wi-fi and in some of the newer ones there is talk about having a microphone to chat to others.
also i think some games may have chat functions using the touch screen.

Thats really stupid that you would change your mind about DS just because you cant use pictochat on wi-fi.  Plus PSP doesnt ever have a chat on it and it does have any games that use chat while playing.
So think about it before you go buy a PSP.

Built-in microphone > PSP.

[kirby_killer_dedede]

PSP = POSER they have a built-in mic too

As of now, there's no server set up FOR Wi-Fi, but I'm like five billion percent sure that there's going to be some sort of available download once one is so that you can use WiFi on PictoChat.

Yay really PSP just copied DS with the microphone idea, and im sure that they will make some sort of download or game thing that lets you to talk on pictochat on wi-fi.

so like i said before dont get PSP just because DS doesnt have wi-fi pictochat yet.

[kirby_killer_dedede]

psp is a POZER

ur a POZER 2 chain...er, jun...er, lawgik...

[kirby_killer_dedede]

Oh, and you may wanna look at THQ's Ping Pals...more jazzy then PictoChat, you'll have to pay your thirty bucks for it, but I'm pretty sure it has wifi...

Wifi isnt used by any games yet.  Nintendo has talked about bringing games online but it hasnt gone down yet.  I wouldnt hope for it for a YEAR.  Let alone in games coming out in the next few months.  

If you want to chat, go to aim.com and download aim.  Sorry, the DS pictochat program is a neat little thing but its main function seems to be for when someone is in the relative same area as you (same house, a floor or two up in a building etc) but cannot talk to you in person for some reason.  Seems kind of pointless in a way but I guess it could be used for classrooms (I wish DS was around when I was in high school ).  Besides that you cant use pictochat and play games at the same time.  So far multiplayer games dont seem to have chat built in, which makes sense considering somewhat limited screen space in a portable (yes even with two screens).
