The 3DS is in Metro Manila
Datablitz, our version of Gamestop, didn't get the 3DS on March 27th so no day 1 purchases here. But we have news that it has finally arrived.
According to n00breview, the 3DS is priced at P13,500 at Datablitz and P13,990 at gameonegadget. I have yet to visit these shops in person but I'm taking his word for it. Thanks to n00breview for the info.

Some 3BS
No, you haven't misread the title nor is it a typographical error. It is what it says, 3BS. If you don't know the meaning of the abreviation "b.s." then you need to get out more or play some CoD online.
One of the new features of the 3DS is the ability to suspend games and software and allow you to access another program while keeping your current game progress intact. But apparently a number of users are getting an error message instead.
Of course Nintendo being Nintendo, the message displayed is completely unhelpful telling you there is a problem and you need to turn your 3DS off. Don't fret as it does not cause harm to your game data or breaks your 3DS.
It has been reported that these error messages have appeared while playing Asphalt 3D, Super Monkey Ball 3D and Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition.
Here we have another reason to not get a game system at launch. Though I still want a 3DS right now... *drool*
The creator of QWOP brings you GIRP!
Remember QWOP? That ridiculously frustrating yet addictive disgrace to mankind of a game seeped through the internet and made you want to throw your keyboard across the room in frustration? Well the guy who made it has a new game for you.
The new game is called GIRP. This time you control a rock climber instead of the track and field runner from QWOP. You press either the left mouse click, the CTRL or SHIFT key on your keyboard to shimmy yourself up and use the letters on the key board to hold onto the grips on the rock wall. Imagine playing Twister on your keyboard while yelling out swear words and having people stare at you for being too damn loud.
Just like QWOP, its simple in concept but the controls are just maddening at the same time. And yet you still want to retry over and over and over again. Does that make us masochists?
