I wonder what that UMD logo is for?

 

[The Bookerman]

What the hell is the white thing? A battery pack for psp? /troll

I'll buy one nonetheless .

 

[Guns N' Poops]

You have to carry those huge things on your belt to power your PSP! Nuclear fission happening inside.

nintendo should be HUMILIATED and DISGRACED by their ds development kit.

 

[JoDark]

And the DS dev kit looks like...?

 

[neptunes]

 

[WarPig]

That's actually a DVD drive in the PSP kit there, if I estimate the length correctly. It would jive with the lectures from Sony's dev people at GDC, where they said developers wouldn't actually use/need UMD burners...

DFS.

I've seen this picture before. Is it real or a Photoshop?

 

[neptunes]

it's real.

I knew of that, it's just that the unit was marked with a UMD symbol. I was hoping only a select few could use/test umd's

 

[Renegade]

Jesus. Where is the DS dev kit SP? That thing is hideos.

 

[Renegade]

Isn't that slot on the upper right of the PSP dev kit a UMD drive?

 

[Insertia]

:lol :lol
that looks like a car battery.

I onced asked my manager at work why there was no paint on the walls int he staff room. He said there was no point in wasting money on paint, the customers would never see this room.

Looks like a Memory Stick slot to me, actually. I think the UMD logo is just a logo, unless that whole squarish panel opens up or something.

A friend of mine once saw this gigantic first-generation Saturn dev kit at an arcade shop in Japan. Sons of bitches wouldn't let him buy it, though.

DFS.

That guy sure knows how to make his employees happy

 

[DECK'ARD]

Looks like a square blanking panel where a UMD drive could go in the future to me. Looks big enough for 2 of em though!

 

[Kon Tiki]

Indeed. When I question him on that, he said we cost him money not make him money.

 

[Beezy]

They're using the old DS model for the dev kits? Thumbs down Nintendo...

 

[joshschw]

and Nintendos probably cost 1/10th of the amount...

totally. the people who develop the games are going to make them look like such utter shite because the dev unit is so ugly. and never mind when I play the game! I'll always have this ugly dev kit in mind and will weap for the poor developers who had to look at it.

If a dev kit is for a certain system, don't you think that it should at least look like the system? And with handhelds, it should also feel like the system.

That pic is ancient. Pre-remodeled DS.

So not all dev kit units are like that?

The actual DS does not.

Alright. Thanks.
