Pixel issues and reboot concerns hamper DS launch

OK. btnheazy03, Todd - ENOUGH!

One more post from either of you in this thread, and your account gets deleted.

You are both dicks.

agreed. i was getting tired of mr. MBA over there anyways. good show, spong. good show.

Awww. I don't have any kind of degree yet. I feel left out. :p.

Has anyone noticed that Nintendo now provide longer warrenties? They used to provide 12 months for games and now it's 24.

sorry for not reading everything. too much to read -_-.

anyway, the person writing this article was probarbly 5 years old and had some help from his mother to write it. i cant come up with any other explanation..

i dont understand all that bitching about nothing. sure you have to reboot, but are you gonna change alot of stuff ALL the time? do you have to make all these settings everytime you start the ds? nah, didnt think so. and like others said, the dead pixle problem isnt really a dead pixle problem. if you find one, BANG, return it to the store and get a new one. was that so hard? no, didnt think so. geez, you make my bitching look like nothing with this bullshit. im very eager to see what you are gonna write about the psp when that comes out. probarbly nothing bad, because sony only do good things right?

Ah, most of it was just two idiot banging heads.


That speaks more of your paucity of imagination than anything. The writer is a 25 year old long-time Nintendo fan.


You make a fair point. People are not necessarilty going to change things all that much, but having to re-boot a console is still a fairly unusual expireince. But the main "complaint" was that Nintendo seem to be taking a quite unusal approach to replacing machines with a dead or stuck pixel.


What bitching exactly are you talking about?


Well, you said that. We never did. We'll criticise anyone if we feel there's a point to answer... And hey, it's only our opinion, not the word of god. If you don't agree, no one is forcing you... and you can always make your point here in the forums.

then how come he writes all this stupid things? its a 5 minute period the first time you start the machine pretty much, then you are done.



it might be unusual, but pretty much everyone is already used to it with windows. and like i said, its 5 minutes then you are done. and i dont think thats a unusual approach. they say they will change the ds for you. whats wrong with that?




nothing here, just my regular bitching abour everything ;).



thats true, but from what i have noticed before on several pages is that they like to complain about whatever nintendo do, but if sony do the same thing they go WOW! i dont know if spong has done this before, im not here all that very much. if not, i apologize.

That's a matter of perspective. Just because you don't agree with something doesn't necessarily make it stupid.


Ah! There you go, we're Linux and MacOS users, and we're NOT used to it at all!



Again. I think it's a matter of perspective, Whatever we say, someone thinks we're beating on their favourite platform. Of course, it's understandable that when someone has invested a lot of money on something, they would like everyone to be nice about that thing, as a sort of positive reinforcement for their ego. Thing is, we praise 'em all, and we criticise 'em all.

If people get very upset, it might be best if they go to a single format web site that only praises their chosen platform, and only criticises other platforms.

We prefer to try and stay objective... but we're only human. SPOnG staff pretty much every platform though, and there's no real favouritism...

are you telling me you have never had windows? and that you never needed to reboot your pda or anything like that?



i check news on both single format sites and multi sites as well. while the single web sites do write bad things too, they often write more understandable things. multisites often jump on nintendo mostly. they dont give out info about a game and thats bad or they did this wrong in that and so on. i see almost nothing like that about sony. maybe you have had more critics agains sony that i havent seen. i dont know. i just think that when alot of critic against nintendo comes up its pretty much nothin blown up to hell big. and thats what i think is pretty s**tty.

No. I have Linux on my PDA and don't need to reboot it often. Certainly not after changing some settings or installing software!

Don't try and argue with the Doctor *mock shock*. He'll wear you down every time ;).

I have to agree. This is a load of bull. Every system is going to have something wrong with it at some point. But they are doing something about it. And again I agree he sounds like a spoiled brat who's never had to work for a thing in his life.

DoctorDee: "Do you actively try and make yourself sound stupid, or is it something you just can't help? Pubic hair exists on and around the pubis. I am sure you will one day discover this."

Obviously you're no doctor or you would know that this does indeed exist. And it's pelvis not pubis. Mainly women get anal hair but men can get it too. Really you're only making yourself look stupid.
