Dazzla Veteran Posted December 19, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted December 19, 2004 Desperate? Not quite, I'm buying it for the same reason I bought the DS at launch; the GC, Xbox and PS2 at launch; the N64, PSone, SNES, MD at launch. See the pattern? They're just toys, it's the same reason I waste money on stuff like TFTs, DiNovos, iPods. Other people fish, others read books, my hobby would be buying overpriced geek toys asap.

Dazzla Veteran Posted December 20, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2004 First little snippet, I can't seem to get it to accept .m3u files, and it can't see music in folders more tan 1 directory deep. e.g. it'll see Album\song.mp3 but not Artist\Album\song.mp3. As a workaround I've used "\Artist - Album\song.mp3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachman123 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Dammit why does the U.S. release have to be in March?!? I have $390 in E.B. Games cards saved up for one :D dazzla, is the battery easily removable? I'm probably going to buy a spare just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted December 20, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2004 It's extremely easy to remove, you unclip the cover and pop it out :D No danger of it falling out either. This seriously is a colid piece of kit, I was worried after reading all the defect threads but this is solid. Messing around with movies now, only like 29.97fps movies (NTSC), 4 viewing modes, Original, Normal, Zoom and Full Screen. For 16:9 encoded stuff Full Screen is ****ing amazing, for 4:3 Zoom is a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
