TalkBack / Platinum SP Warning

« on: February 20, 2003, 04:03:30 PM »

Wow. That's shockingly awful. I just preordered my SP in platinum, too. I mean, this is a Nintendo system, folks. This just isn't supposed to happen. Where the hell was the playtesting department during all of this? I wonder if they'd issue an official statement if pressed...

Considering the  AUS $200 pricetag, they had better remedy this problem before March 28th.

One question though, is the SP unit 'textured' ala the GBA 1.0? By this I mean, does it have that slightly sand-blasted plastic, or is it perfectly smooth? Because the Platinum GBA 1.0 was textured, and it never scratched.

A possible correlation?

You know, it's funny you should say that. Even in Oz (where I'm based), it's difficult to get any sort of 'official' recognition from NOAus. I think they tend to shy away from fanbases, as odd as that seems. I tried to get a bit of support from them for the site I work for (GameBiz) and they declined without comment or justification.

I think it's interesting that it took this long for Billy to finally visit (or be allowed to visit) Nintendo's office in Seattle. One would think they'd appreciate the free publicity a little more.

Odd.
