It will be priced higher than the current DSXL which cost $189.99. It could be $199.99, $229.99 or even $249.99 not more than that. Remember this is a portable much more powerful, will have new unannounced features and is making use of a new small 3d screen that no other portable device is using. Oh and i know that some may argue that that's almost or the same cost of some HD consoles but keep in mind that this is a portable, you don't need to hook it up to a $300 or $500 dollars tv with cables and connect it to a power outlet and so on. It is like like arguing about the price difference of a laptop and a desktop pc.
[QUOTE="soulreaper-4"]COLOR SATURATION > NUMBER OF CONTRAST.Gregoroth
Colour saturation is directly related to how good the contrast ratio is. Sorry buddy go and read some articles in CNET.COM. Contrast represent how black the black is and how white the white is. THE VIDEO ENGINE IS WHAT WILL SHOW THE QUALITY OF THE REST OF THE COLORS. Example from Sony: Bravia Engine 1, 2 and 3.
Either Sony will launch this phones like the PSP Go just to experiment or they are going the route of every other Nintendo rival which is retiring from portables dedicated to videogames. If the later is true it will be pretty sad because the PSP is a very capable handheld with great games.
[QUOTE="Tigarian"]Just be careful with cheaper lcd tvs contrast ratios. My parents bought a cheaper 32 inch Toshiba 720p lcd and it looks fine in bright outdoor scenes but night/shadow scenes can be almost impossible to make out. As for the resolution, it's not a big deal for this console generation, although you might end up deciding to hook up a pc or blu-ray player in which case you can tell the difference if you're close enough.Tigarian
It's not the contrast. The number of contrast has became more of a marketing trick. The most important think is the color saturation ( Video processor).
SITTING CLOSER = MORE PIXELATED IMAGE.
Yes contrast ratios, particularly "dynamic" contrast ratio numbers don't have a lot of meaning in the real world but the fact is some lcds, especially cheaper ones, have trouble with darks, especially in a contrasty scene. Those contrast numbers are always an exaggeration. A samsung or bravia with 5000 can look better than 10000 from another brand. Each manufacture calculate these numbers differently.
[QUOTE="soulreaper-4"]So if you have a 32 inches 1080p HDTV you will appreciate it and get the best image by sitting 2 or 3 fts away? Wow then when 32 inches with higher resolutions became available we will have to eat the screen in order to appreciate the details.

At those sizes, yes, although 2ft is extreme. The general recommended seating distance for 1080p on 32" is nearer 4ft. That's why the intended use for 1080p is either computer monitor (very close) or large scale TV's such as 50"+ (sitting further away but still benefiting from the resolution because of screen size) because the idea is that a TV is supposed to be watched from a distance. 4 fts is the closest if you want to but not the best distance.
I've been on the fence of getting one myself but haven't done so because i am afraid of spending a total of a little over $250 with one of the upcoming games and end seeing a new PSP announcement. I don't want to make a bad decision but at the same time i would like to play: Metal Gear Solid Peace Walkers, Valkyria Chronicles 2, Ys seven, God of War Ghost of Sparta, Kingdoms Hearths and many more. Maybe i waited too much to get one and now is too late.
Sadly if you really want to play like a pro and be execute many of the most devastating combos and moves the best option is the CC, CCP or a Fightstick. Avoid using the Wii Remote as possible because you won't be able to do everything you want like Boroque Combos and it almost does everything automatically.

You're right but not completely. Some LCDs doesn't produce darker colors right. One with relatively good black but with a superb or great color reproduction ability will always look better. Contrast = Darker Black color That's black crush, which is a common problem with LCDs, not a problem with colors. They go hand in hand though.

Well that depends on the size of the TV and the resolution. Sitting the same distance from a 32" 1080p to a 32" 720p, then yes, you might see the pixels, but you would not on a 1080p TV. Its not just as simple as saying what you are. So if you have a 32 inches 1080p HDTV you will appreciate it and get the best image by sitting 2 or 3 fts away? Wow then when 32 inches with higher resolutions became available we will have to eat the screen in order to appreciate the details.
