If these pictures of a 3DS with a super wide screen are true, I will be extremely happy and look forward to buying one after we've had several months for a game collection to build up. However, I'm skeptical that that can be true. For starters, that screen size is twice the size of the Sharp's 3D screen that seems almost certain to be part of the system. And second, it seems unbelievable to me that, without 3D glasses, you could get a 3D effect on so wide of a frame....especially given the fact that you supposedly have to have your head in just the right position to see the 3D effects.

I don't know why but I think this is bogus. I tend to not believe anything when E3 is close.

To me, 3DS looks more like a mini mobile TV. But, it's bogus.

Hmm, interesting. I think bogus, simply because I think the 3DS will have an analog stick.

Bogus, two reasons. There's supposed to be a control stick right? AND think about closing it, the buttons on that would damage the screen.

An analog was added later actually. And this isnt the real thing. Just a sketch made from the hardware. As you can see it just looks like a photoshopped DSi, which it basically is. But on e3 im sure the design of buttons and stuff will look different.

I'm sure it's bogus too, but the button thing is silly. In the current DS model, the buttons don't touch the top half of the console when you close it in the first place. So there's no reason to believe that it would be different in the "mock up".

This is bogus. I would think that the graphic power of the 3DS would be closer to the Gamecube's than the Wii'sand isn't there supposed to be a joystick?

That is a fake. The bottom screen just looks like the bottom screen of a dsi.

Well if true he's already risking enuff threat to his livlihood, he probably got payed a bit for this sketch, and i'm not condoning that sort of behavior
