The Game Boy Color had exclusives as well. That doesn't mean it wasn't built on the same hardware, it just meant it wasn't forwards-compatible. I didn't say that the DSi wasn't made from the same hardware. It is however a different game system, as game systems have only one criterion to establish difference: and that difference is exclusives. Why would anyone by more than one game system without exclusives? |

I consider the DSi a pseudo next-gen system seeing how certain games only work on the DSi but it's like the same thing pretty much.

But since the DS isn't like the PSP (as in the PSP needs to upgrade occasionally to play new games) they just come out with an entirely new system instead... |

Well an upgrade (to me) is enhancing the previously established features. DSi however has new features and games that rely on those new features.
So in my eyes the DS Lite is and upgrade. The DSi is a pseudo new system. But not a real new system.

I agree Koopaul, it has exclusives, so it's a new system, but it's not marketed that way, so it's not really. But it kinda is. Or not.

 You are really starting to piss me off. Nobody likes the Grammar Police. |

Actually, OMR was not wrong. There is a difference in meaning between "Who cares!" and "Who cares?" in that one is an exclamation and the other an inquiry. As his intention was to exclaim his grief at this totally pointless argument, there is no mistake in using the exclamation mark.
If you're going to police grammar, make sure you know your stuff.

You are really starting to piss me off. Nobody likes the Grammar Police. But punctuation is important to meaning, take the following: Dear Jack,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy – will you let me be yours?

Dear Jack,
I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men I yearn! For you I have no feelings whatsoever. When we’re apart I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?
Yours,

Common sense should come into effect. No one would be stupid enough to fuck up the English language that badly, Spud.

O RLY?Nah. I know what you mean. Yes, but that was written by a retard. You're post implied that enough English was known to use words such as "inferior" and "yearn". Well that wasn't actually fucked up. It was simply demonstrating the ability to change the meaning of a paragraph using punctuation alone.  |
