Well I got a 3DS on pre-order from Target, so I will buy Street Fighter IV, Pilotwings, and a possible third game up when I am in there, may be Ridge Racer or Lego Star Wars III, decide when I am there.

Yes your Wii is just going into standby, nothing really to be concerned about, you can always turn it off by holding the power button on the Wii console itself for 3 seconds.

There is no official date yet, but I heard something a few weeks back where it was stated by either Iwata or Miyamoto himself that they were aiming for June but its been awhile since I have seen that article.

However one minor difference playing them on the 3DS is you now got the option of using the Circle analog Pad.

Of course you don't get any actual analog control. It basically functions as an eight-way digital stick.

I know that, I just said the option is there if you want to use it. :P

DS games will be compatible with the 3DS right?RatchetV1

Yes, all games you own for your DS will be playable on your 3DS.

if so, we'll they be displayed in 3D?RatchetV1

Sorry RatchetV1, the DS games were never programmed to take advantage of the 3D capabilities of the 3DS, so only 3DS games will have that 3D feature, so your original DS titles will work no different then what they did on your old DS.

Well since their is settings you have to do when you start up the system I will probably be doing that, I will be opening at a friends house, so it will be set up, Mii, Augmented Reality, and then Face Raiders before I jump to either Pilotwings or Madden, Street Fighter IV 3D is coming the following Wednesday.

I have pre-ordered tons of times at Target, more so games and have had no problem doing so.

One thing I would want to point out though that they told me was your not guarenteed your color just a 3DS unit, so just a heads up if your don't care go that route, I myself don't care on which one I get.

I am a Mac user, but you have to be really dedicated to own a Mac, let me ask you a couple questions though.

1. Are you looking for a Machine that Viruses are very rare yet almost obsolete, although you get Viruses on a Mac, the chance of ever running into them are very slim, and since Malware and Spyware are written to Windows OS, you wont have to worry about that.

2. Do you plan on Dual booting, or even Triple booting, with a Mac you have the option to install a Windows based OS and even Ubuntu (Linux), which will allow you to run not only Mac Software, but Windows and Linux software as well, in the end more compatibility for your computer to run almost anything.

If these 2 things don't interest you then a Mac may not be for you, I would consider custom building myself.

Know to answer your question, does a Macbook Pro=Good Gaming?

I have seen games like Crysis, Ghostbusters, and Fallout 3 work on a Mac, you will however have to dual boot a Windows OS in order to play most of them, and with the Mac OS you can also buy games specifically made for Mac that you can pick up at the Apple store.

I think you and I disagree on the purpose. And you sound like a mac salesman; just 'cause you own one doesn't make it the best f'n thing.

If you're gonna game, you're gonna need Windows-based OS; Game-over get a PC.

I never said he had to go out and buy a Mac, I was stating that if he wanted a Mac you have to be dedicated to pay the price point, they are pricy if all your going to use them for is gaming, however if you want a good everyday computer and worried about getting viruses, malware, spyware, all that crap you get on a PC, then a Mac is for you, especially with the dual booting and their are a few decent games on the Mac as well, not many but their is a few,

however just mainly for gaming, just build something far cheaper, although I have seen these games run on a Mac using Boot-camp to dual boot a Windows OS they were at its lowest settings almost, not worth it if thats all you plan on using a Mac for.

I have a 20 GB hard drive right now, and I was running out of room and wanting to upgrade. I bought a 120 GB hard drive off of ebay, but it did not come with the transfer cable or disc.

I bought a transfer cable/disc off of ebay from Hong Kong, because it was reasonably priced and I didn't really care about quality, since I was just going to use it once. The cable came today, but with a burned disc. I put the burned disc in my Xbox, and it simply said "Mixed Media Disc," and I couldn't do anything with it. So now I'm apparently stuck with a transfer cable, a new hard drive, and no transfer disc. Has anyone had this problem? Any solutions?

hmm... I would literally consider searching Amazon for the right disc, screw Ebay, you always get cheated one way or another on there.
