MOVIES on the NINTENDO 3DS??

[QUOTE="Kruiz_Bathory"]This is nintendo, they can do whatever they want bro. So movies on the go are ok now. gandaf007

Were they ever not okay?

Interestingly enough...People on here were always saying "its a GAMING device" "Its a GAMING device!" And the PSP was always dissed for having the ability to play movies. Now Nintendo is doing it And all of sudden playing movies is excepted. Now that Nintendo no longer makes gaming devices and now makes multiple media devices, is it safe to say that the PSP was ahead of its time? That the PSP was too early in the multimedia handheld trend....Because it seems to me that it is NOW excepted but in 2006 is was a bad idea.

ok id love to see you walk down the steet with a 50 inch tv on your back ,! mudh let alone with it on!

What's the point in watching 3d movies on a 3 inch screen?

I love how on the PSP, being able to watch movies is a huge plus, but on the 3DS it would suddenly be a useless feature. System Wars strikes again!!

"What's the point in watching 3d movies on a 3 inch screen?"

I highlighted the part you missed before. While I may not care for portable movie watching, I understand many people do like it. I just don't get the point of 3D movies on such a small screen. I guess it's my inability to see fake (or simulated) 3d, but even if I could, I would think that I would care about 3d in movies a whole lot more on a big screen than on a tiny one where nobody can watch it with me. If everyone else thinks it's gonna be awesome, that's fine. I just don't see the point. Hence me saying "What's the point?"

The point is that the functionality is present in the system already, so it's sort of a given that any video playback on the system is going to be 3D-capable.

Plus the fact that so few people own 3D sets at home means that the 3DS will be the only source of 3D video outside the theater for most people, until the full-size 3D displays catch on.

Obviously for me, I could care less about having a source for simulated 3d video, seeing as how I can't, well, see it. But I still think I would prefer 3d on a big screen with glasses over 3d on such a small screen, even if it is glasses-free.

[QUOTE="Dahaka-UK"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] Well, the top screen is only 800 x 240.jun_aka_pekto

The video quality on the PSP still looks great though after all these years.

That's Dogfights (The Last Gunfighter) playing on the PSP.

If the 3DS plays movies then it'll be great. I might buy one just for myself. I know my kid wants one. Just wondering what format will the videos be in.....

Edit: In case a mod might find the PSP video image questionable, I have the Dogfights DVD sets.

I like this post!! BUT I have to say the 3000 looks better than the PSP 1000..which actually looks good in your photo. The format will likely be copy written mp4s like what Sony & Apple sell.

I gotta co sign that. I know how it is.

[QUOTE="fastr"]it's a feature.. don't like it don't use it. For 3d movies, it could be pretty cool. I'd rather use a 3ds and get 3d without having to wear glasses and get a headache. ianuilliam

]Sounds to me like the 3ds won't work any better for you than any other stereoscopic 3d. ianuilliam

Stereoscopic 3d is not viable (or even possible) for lots of people, with or without glasses.

"Lots of people" Sure, a couple of million people is "lots", but you count these things in percentages, say 5%?? of the population can't experience 3D perfectly, it's not "lots of people" even if the actual number is huge.

True, I doubt it's any large percentage or 3D wouldn't get as much money poured into it as it is currently.

Even I can see 3D fine, and I have slight strabismus.

[QUOTE="ianuilliam"]I've never listed movies as a plus for PSP. I don't own a PSP. I do own a DS and an iPod touch. Personally, I think watching movies on a 3 inch screen would be pointless. I'd never buy a UMD movie. When I buy movies, I buy blu-ray, but I've never bothered putting the digital copy on my iPod, because I prefer to watch movies on a big HD tv with other people. None of that has anything to do with the post you quoted. Let me try to explain.

I have 5 movies on my PSP NONE are on UMD. iIts unwise to assume things. I have already made my point. I am one of the few gamers on here that does not get upset when a device evolves. I think its great for the industry. A movie is a movie, we all have our preference of how we want to watch. Its interesting that Nintendo is doing what Sony & Apple are doing. So again 5 movies....none on a hardcopy.
