I have to get the game or it would be hard to find on the 13th of March. Same thing happened for me for Tales of Vesperia and Tales of Abyss. Although 'Abyss' was just ported to the 3DS, I do not want to wait more than 5 years to play it! My money is ready.

"Wouldn't it be better for everyone if the 3DS offered one large screen so you could fully appreciate the many great games in the library? Shouldn't Nintendo try to push gaming further instead of recycling old ideas that never took off in the first place?" I don't know about that. A better high-resolution screen would drive the cost of the 3DS which would be a disaster for Nintendo. Games such as Etrian Odyssey, Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, Brain Age, Nintendogs, Advance Wars would be cumbersome to play with only one screen because it will lose gameplay/interface interactivity. That being said, the PS Vita has a wonderful screen which I will pick up this week. I already have the 3DS and thinks that it was properly designed for what it is for its market. We all wish we can enjoy both the best of worlds(gameplay and graphics) in one system but the reality is we are required to buy different consoles/portables in this generation made by different companies with different visions.

Tried it playing DarkSiders demo using WiFi and its pretty decent. However, my computer is a gaming rig so I have to test it out on a laptop if it is what they claimed it to be. This is an excellent idea if they offer a DECENT 1 month rental fee but I will not purchase a game because if the ONLIVE goes 'belly up' your purchases goes 'kapoot' along with hard-earned dollars!

PC WINS! Kidding aside, I am not a fanboy. I have PS3 and Xbox 360 and I'll get this game when it will likely goes on sale later this year at STEAM.

There are a lot of questions regarding the feasibility and marketing of this product to gamers. The most important thing that is bothering me is how can you sell this product at a competitive price when you have to spend big money on maintaining a network infrastructure that must be a lag free experience containing the 'best and great' computer specs? Another thing is how can this product survive? How can they turn a profit if they are targeting a small percentage of the gaming pie? From what I read, the ONLive product specifically targets the 'hardcore' gamer with GTA and Crysis and other action/fps PC titles. Nintendo already expanded their userbase by tapping the 'casual' market and effectively shrinked the market for Sony and Microsoft. Tapping the same market where your competitors are Sony and Microsoft and without a proven userbase is suicide!

I am reminded of this idea when Netscape Navigator was the king of the web browser and its creators are thinking of a client-server PC: web browser will be your output(using applets) while the server(Internet) do all the processing work. This, I recall sent panic signals to the almightly Microsoft since the main objective of this idea is to get rid of the Windows OS. History shows us that Bill Gates moved fast with their internet R&D with some 'savy' business methods. The result: Netscape is long gone. Internet Explorer, Windows, Active X became leading software products in consumers and businesses. As long as Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are still in the business this service will fall flat in its face.

I have already used this but again the full benefits of Skype can be fully realized when you are using it to call a friend/relative overseas. If you want to use it as a substitute for a cellphone to call a landline/mobile phone within the US/Canada region, then this is not a good alternative. The connection fees are $0.60 per call and then per minute charges are then applied. I have a good rate plan with my cellphone/landline than this. However, if you do have friends/relatives that have Skype compatible equipment(PC/Skype phone/PSP) then go ahead and use it since charges will be absolutely be FREE.

Might as well get a new one. I can finally 'home brew' my old one to transfer all my psone games to memory stick.

dunno about this...if they can really minimize the loading times in some games, then i'll give my old one to my nephew and pick this one up and FF tactics:war of the lions at the same time.
