 | Oh, never playedd it though. 
Speaking of FF series, I'm going to pick up FF3 if it uses the second screen, but not if it's just a re-re-re-re-release of Super NES version. My friends all consider that and FF7 their favorites. My personaly favorite console RPG is Phantasy Star 2.
Any ways, I'm going to buy which ever RPG is released first.

| Nope, the DS FFIII is the Japanese version that hasn't been released in the USA before. I hope the leveling up isn't nearly as horrible as FFII's.

| *Grumbles.* I just talked to my friend that works for GameCrazy and he said it wouldn't be out until summer. I want a real RPG, not some overly released FF poo.

| I think there's a Phantasy Star 1-4 cartridge for the GBA out or something. It only uses one screen, but whatever. I like having the ability to choose which screen to play the GBA game on. The battery life while playing GBA games is really good, too.

| It's something to do when my computer is busy encoding or rendering. Exuses on my part, but if you go to Bainne, I did make some minor changes. Not only do I need to finish my new portfolio site, now I need to finish my corporate site. The portfolio site is close, I've come really far in the past couple of months even wtih an alredy full plate. See you got me rambling.
I probably spend too much time here posting, definately more then I do on my games.

| Xenosaga is a pretty long RPG series. Im pretty sure it started with Xenogears for the playstation, and then there was Xenosaga Episode 1 for PS2 as well as Episode 2. The games are really story line driven, and have awesome movies. There are parts of the game where you can go for 20 minutes watching the story unfold and not press a single button. I guess you either like it or you dont, but i love it. And when you are playing the game, not watching, the gameplay is pretty good. If you have a PS2 i do recommend Xenosaga episode 1/2 (I never played Xenogears, and i wasnt lost at all) I cant wait for the DS version!

| 20 minute movies.  Is it better then the horrid Final Fantasy movies. Square Enix no longer makes games, they make sappy androgynous cheeseball animes.
I like gameplay though, so I'll check it out and the DS's 256 meg cart will prevent them from inserting entire CG anime.

| LOL!
Im pretty sure a good company could compress the CG and i dont think we are talking about the amazing graphics that came from the PS2.
Who knows, its up to the companies now. But see your gamecube thread, i found interesting news. Btw, thats an awesome picture.

| The DS, at the 256x192 resolution of it's LCD, could do PS2-quality graphics if it was only on one screen. The initial games really downplay the hardware's power.

| Most of the initial games are kind of gimicy, not to say they aren't fun.
I bet you that if someone did need more storage for CG flics, they could include a GBA cart like the ones that holds a Gig or accepts SD cards and the DS could access it during the game. If that makes any sense?
Regardless, I'm hoping that Nintendos PALM OS will have access to the SD/GBA cart.
Jus to ramble like usual: Tiger Woods PGA Tour is a perfect example of how a PSP and DS vary and it really sums up their key difference. If you watch the PSP promo video on EA's site, it's all about purdy CG shots and not really about gameplay. If you then watch the DS promo, it completely emphasizes gameplay and also has the art tidbit. http://www.easports.com/games/tigerwoods2005/psp.jsp http://www.easports.com/games/tigerwoods2005/nds.jsp
***** You could look at the screenshots also. But note that the DS's screen have been scaled down and the PSP's screens are scaled up. So the sizes are not correct.
*****
Shogun on the DS looks awesome. I also found a scan of GoldenEye and it uses the second screen to aim, so KICK ARSE!!!

| Maybe the Palm OS cart will include a SD slot. I'm pretty certain that it will be on a GBA form factor cart for it to have a Mini-USB port.

| Yep, If they didn't have a USB port, then they could only rely on Wi-fi which most peep don't have.
THey have GBA carts with USB ports right now. They're for "rom" transfering though.

| Zach, its interesting you say that, as the device the DS uses to play Movies and Music uses a SD card that you insert into a GBA cartridge. Very cool, called "Play Yan" you can get it here, and it works too (from what i have heard, anyway) IGN tested it, and loved it. BTW, with Play Yan, there is also a small mini game you can store on the card each week, and they are free. Pretty cool.
