I think that the China Export thing is just an urban myth, the CE mark basically states that the product passes relevant safety guidelines and so can be exported to and freely traded around the EU.

Gaming devices and their RAM. It also tells which console has shared RAM/VRAMsasimirobot said:whats this about?

It's simply the amount of RAM those devices have.sasimirobot said:whats this about?

Interesting to see that the 3DS has more memory than the Wii. I'm guessing, like several others, that it's actually a 128MB chip(makes sense from a cost perspective, instad of 64+32) with 96MB available for the user/developer.I think we'll get some nice results from this.

It looks like the ds lite you folks already have!
But dipped in gloss.
Nintendo has a habit of making their first versions of a new handheld to look like their previous handhelds.
The first DS used a lot of design stuff from the GBA SP, and the first GBA used a lot of design stuff from the Game Boy Color. Their buttons, D-Pad, design style, screen, were hand-me-downs. It's usually not until the first revision that it gets a style of it's own (DS Lite, GBA SP).
If they actually used a 128 MB chip then at least it's a slightly more sane hardware configuration.
Anyway, glossy areas on parts of devices that you are supposed to touch are one of the most idiotic design trends ever. And it really is ugly -- I hope no must-have game comes out before the revision.

I would not mind seeing some jail time or a fine for the dude in the video, sure I'm jealous but stolen goods is stolen goods no matter how much of a fanboy I am

indeed. maybe he found it in a bar and thought it was a DS Lite in a case.sasimirobot said:

No where the hell did ign get there specs from ?
From their exhaust port?
Since Matt was the only one I knew off who actually had real inside information, and he's gone, I don't trust IGN anymore regarding their leaks. I can't see their credibility.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same since we started seeing real pictures of the thing.markot said:
Ehh. I'm not one to have paid such close attention to specific button designs and whatnot, but the whole vertical layout thing makes me look at GBASP as a lot more like older GB/GBC than GBA is.willy105 said:

I'm sure that it's a 128MB chip. It would actually probably be more expensive and power consuming to have 1 64MB chip and 1 32MB chip (unless 1 chip is faster than the other like the Wii & GCN)
96MB is fantastic! Having 64MB available to devs was already great (better than GCN) but 96MB is fabulous (better than Wii and it'll be put to even better use than the Wii since the 3DS runs at a lower res - yes even in 3D mode)
Having 32MB separate for the OS sounds about right as well, especially if it can run the browser while multitasking a game!
I'm not a fan of the gloss though. I wish it was matt like the DSi.

tell that the the one dude waiting in line at launch soon he is next in line for his 3DS and they are sold out now because one is missing!
nah seriously I don't like this I want leaks (photos and such) but damn taking a whole unit out of the production line to feed my hype, that is a bit much

Look at that jump in RAM from DS to 3DS - by a factor of 24 no less!!

They may try to start it again-
Wait look at the bottom screen it says press start to go to CtrMenu!!! OMG OMG OMG HE HAS TO PRESS START. The Dev name for the 3DS is CTR so CTR Menu is either the 3DS Menu or the Dev Menu. Either way i very want to see it!
我说楼主你按一下Start键试试看-try the push the start button!

32MB reserved for the os is pretty substantial, although it does have to run a web browser with that so its understandable. Still crazy to think a Nintendo handheld has as much RAM reserved for its os as Microsoft's home console.
