Canyourunit just gives you a very general idea if you can or cannot run it. I failed the test yet it ran flawlessly at max fps. It failed cuz it says my GTS 450 is too weak but Im running 2 GTS 450 in SLI and it never lags nor stutters. I would take what they say with a grain of salt because there hasn't been a single game that I couldn't run at max/high settings so far with this setup. You never know until you give it a try although its a shame there is no demo.
Nah i always have it sitting vertically so theres no movement at all. Its just that everytime when it tries to read the disc, i can hear these nasty sounds coming from the drive and when i take the disc out theres brand new scratches. Also i guess 'chewing' was not the right word to use in this case i meant scratching but anyways thanks to those who helped.
My xbox 360 has been having many problems recently, mainly freezing issues in less than an hour. So at this point, i'm considering buying a brand new xbox 360 most likely the arcade bundle. I know that the newer 360s now come with the lite-on dvd drives and if anybody knows what kind of drive they have, do you guys know if the lite-on drives still chew up game discs?
I've owned 2 samsungs and 2 benqs and all of these drives can chew up discs within a few hours of play, but the games still work its just that some games start to become unreadable and i dont have disposable income. Any input is appreciated.
Yours sound like its too warm as to why its 'yellow' but I dunno if nintendo uses the same screens for both top and bottom but on my ds lite the bottom screen is slightly dimmer than the top screen whereas my XL its the exact opposite. But i wouldnt be too worried about it,unless of course its so warm that if ur suppose to see 2 white screens and the other one is clearly yellow than maybe u shud try ur luck again.
One thing that actually concerns me is the way the hinge sways even when its locked, there seems to be about 1-2 cm of play when it locks,whereas on my lite its pretty tight and theres no play(movement)even after 1 year. So my concerned is that in time it might get worst,however i bought mine from amazon so i dont wanna play the exchange game and get something worse.
My XL also has the wobbly hinge but it doesnt really bother me as when im playing a game it sits peacefully on my lap anyways. My screens are also kinda off, the top screen is slightly dimmer than the the bottom screen so it makes the bottom appear brighter but its not noticeable unless u are aware of it and tryin to compare them.
So those are the two issues i've found with my XL but it also seems the majority of owners are expieriencing the same thing so its practically considered the norm,although i have none of those issues with my ds lite so.....anyways just be glad you dont have stuck pixels and/or dust under the screen as that can actually affect gameplay.
Yea they didnt increase the resolution only the screen size so it causes more noticeable pixelation, but its more noticeable in some games, and not as much in others. Games like professor layton looks better on the XL, whereas games like HGSS looks worse.So i guess what im trying to say is that if u mostly play puzzle and text games it looks better cuz u can read the text better.
If you guys think about it, the 3DS will most likely be a prototype, or a test system, just liek what they did with the DSi.So there might just be a 3DS XXL in the works right after they release the 3DS. Another thing, its unlikely that the 3DS will arrive to the states by the end of 2010. Looking back at Nintendo's history it will most likely release in Japan first and will come to the states probably 6 months later. So the March 2011 release date may be for the states at the earliest, or that could be the release date for Japan, who knows. Also, it would be a dumb move by Nintendo to release the 3DS so close to DSi XL's release. That'll piss off a lot of loyal customers who might've gotten the DSi, now the DSi XL, and a few months later the 3DS. Well there are already pissed off customers who got the DSi who also gotten the DSi XL only to find that the games they bought on the DSi are nontransferable. Way to screw the pooch nintendo. I mean we're all aware of the way M$ likes to screw over their loyal customers, but i never thought nintendo would do the same. Either way, its just business as usual.....right?
