Shouldn't be long until we know more, the timing in relation to E3 is probably not a coincidence.

Softmod worked great for me to get arcade emulators working (installed via the Splinter Cell exploit), though I've not yet gone for a larger hard drive. I bought the USB-dongle adapter from ebay (along with a component video cable) and went through a pile of old 4 gig and smaller USB drives until I found one that worked with the exploit. If you can find a compatible flash drive, it's probably the fastest way to go about it and cheaper and easier than a mod chip (which I don't think would give you much in the way of additional value in your suggested scenario). I'd ask around to see if you can easily score some old flash drives, like promotional items given away at trade shows and the like, the kind of stuff people might have lying around. Trying to find a specific drive with which to perform the operation seems like it'd be a huge headache (i'm not sure if there's even a list of known working ones).

Possibly he's arguing that being a console is a gimmick in itself and PCs are some kind of platonic ideal that all gamers should accept as their lord and savior by that superior logic. It's an argument I've heard time and time again.

Seems to me that the base unit is a passive dock with power and HDMI connections, and the brains of the unit are in the screen, how could it be otherwise?

Congrats on the pickup. I too own a pink DS Lite, though in my case, I changed the case for a knockoff one from ebay (dark blue, left the buttons, screen frames and so on pink), which is an option if the color gets on your eyes after a while. It's not terribly difficult, you need a triwing screwdriver and steady hands, though. I'd also recommend Puzzle Quest, I've found it the perfect kind of simple timesink for bus rides for example.

Damn, I'd been meaning to get that, but it's gone now. Forever, too, since it was a digital exclusive. Such is the way of the world.

Speaking of specific games, I think Shovel Knight will be remembered fondly as one of the great indie games of this generation.

In my particular case, i felt the extra weight of the motor was actively detrimental since it was attached directly onto the joystick lever. Not sure why they thought an arcade stick needed rumble at Hori headquarters, but I was glad to be rid of it.

Almost certainly. Just superglue some standoffs onto the bottom of the case if necessary. :-P

I took rumble out of my old PS1 arcade stick, because it was incredibly distracting when playing Centipede. Just a simple matter of clipping the wires and physically removing the motor.

I was under the impression that game purchases from your account could not be transferred to one from another region, and having two accounts with their own game lists would be just the kind of minor irritation that would drive me to annoyance, plus it sounds like the kind of thing the terms of service would probably prohibit.

Oh, clever, that's a potential boon for users.

Damn, I wish that was available to me here in Europe, I'd gladly get Super Puzzle Fighter and Okami, even if the rest of the bunch isn't really to my taste.

There isn't anything Nintendo could do to entice PS4 or Xbone users to switch systems. We already have every reason to suspect the specs won't be a noteworthy improvement on the WiiU and certainly nothing that could compare with the Neo or the Scorpio (assuming that those two can indeed play games at 4k). What can the NX offer that's worth the expenditure? If you have a PS4 this year, you could buy the VR with roughly the same amount of money that the NX will likely cost and chances are, that'd give you way more exclusive games. Xbone owners can either upgrade to a Slim or start saving up for a Scorpio, or even start building a killer PC now that Microsoft is releasing Xbox games on Windows 10. Nintendo's only chance is a hail-mary pass on a truly mindblowing unique feature, but after the passing of the Wii U, the Wii, Kinect and the PS Move, I feel that the market's never been more hostile to gimmicks. What consumers and developers overwhelmingly want for the future is something like the PS Neo or the Scorpio, and Nintendo can't compete in that console race anymore.

Planescape Torment 3dified with some open world elements to really bring Sigil to life. A man can dream, right?
