Am I the only one here that actually likes the pink DS? I already have the original (fat) one, but if I ever decide to upgrade it's totally a toss up between this or the black one.
Oh, and my "gut" tells me that business is business and that companies will try to emulate what's successful until the end of time. Meh.
I am a female that uses male avatars while playing Guild Wars.
I am not interested in your items, nor your attention (in-game). I just want to play; this is the easiest way to do so with the minimalist amount of drama involved.
I understand that video games is a male-dominated pasttime, and that females aern't even taken that seriously in many websites. I would love to see a bit more understanding in this front in general.
Guys, if female avatars in game are trying to get stuff from you, they probably aern't worth your time. But, if they're working hard to be an integral part of your guild, why can't you look past their gender and welcome them the same way you would any male member?
Pretty much. YTMND's community has grown VERY quickly, especially over the past year or two.
Apparently people thought it was the end of the world because the site's IP address matched that of some terrorism webpage; I thought it was just some viral marketing.
I will probably start buying used games, or wait for price drops; I'm from Canada, where new (PS2) games are already $60-85. I feel that any more would be a bit much.
I don't think my opinion matters that much, but (scores based solely on game selection)...
PlayStation 2: A ...There's a decent title for every bad one. It deserves an A, imho. PSP: D ...I got one the day it came out. Now it just collects dust in a drawer. I have yet to find a game worthy enough to even upgrade the firmware up from V1.5. Xbox: C ...Too many games were ported from other systems. Xbox 360: C+ ...I almost wanted to skip grading this one because it hasn't been out for that long. There are a handful of good games, but nothing really big yet... We'el see how things are at Christmas time. GameCube: D ...It's pretty much dead already. Zelda: TP is going to be it's last hurrah before sinking into oblivion. Game Boy Advance: A ...I would give this an A+, but there are too many ports of games that you can already get for your NES/SNES at a fraction of the cost. Nintendo DS: A ...After a slow start, the DS is hitting it's stride. Many fun and original games earns this console an A.

Male gamers: Female avatars FTW!

Who really cares what gender they are?

How much would you spend on a PS3 game?
