Nintendo DS to play music and video (mp4) now
The "open mouth and insert foot" award goes to Nintendo on this one.... After going on and on and on about how they are all about games and how convergence devices were for "morans" they backtrack and release a music and media player for the DS. You can't tell me this isn't a reaction to all the media player hype that the PSP is getting.
I think Sony should release an add-on touch screen for the PSP now and karma would be restored to the universe.

That's typical Nintendo....putting thier foot in thier mouth. My favorite nintendo quote is "we're in the video game business not movies" ....this was about CD's on video game systems.

In other news:
Sony fanboys again attack Nintendo. The reasons why are still under review, but most insiders suspect some form of inferiority complex. More as it develops.

I'm not sure this is an insert foot situation, the Movie/Music is certainly not the focal point of the DS and I think this is just a cute add on. Personally I'm happy that I didn't have to pay for features I wouldn't use and wouldn't be integrated into the games. If I get a PSP (and I will if something worth playing comes along) I seriously doubt I'll be watching movies on it anyway.

Jeff, you jump into every PSP thread and piss all over the place too 
Who are you kidding?
The Franchise has posted a good article and was discussing how Nintendo is jumping on the PSP bandwagon with music.

Silly thread.
Good business move on N's part.
Why do people take these game companies so personally, as if it defines who they are.
I'm sure if N said they won't do this there would be a similar post saying how stupid they are.
And by the way.. it's spelled "MORONS", not Morans.

As for "moran"... I guess you just don't get it....

Well, they already had a TV adapter, now memory cards for movies and music.
What I want to know is where the hell is the damn headset.

You are such a fanboy you can't accept it when people are simply discussing the FACTS of a situation.

Not putting there foot in their mouths. That kind of stuff should be available seperately for "morans" who want to listen to music or watch movies on a portable gaming system. Saves people like me with no interest in that crap (or who already have MP3 players, laptops etc to do these things) for being forced to pay more for the game unit b/c it's full of non-gaming features we won't use/don't need.

This thread seems like an informative thread, but it's really just a jab at Nintendo for something every company does (including Sony and Microsoft).
jeffdsmith, it may seem like a fine line, but we draw the line at name calling.
Get Me Coffee, if "someone needs a Mario hug!" isn't trolling, I don't know what is.
Anyway, closing thread. If anyone else wants to discuss the merits of the Nintendo DS playing music/video, then feel free to open another thread.
