...ok, so I was wrong, it is going to have 3D.
I just saw a picture of the 3D concert here:
http://nds.tgbus.com/news/etc/200907/20090722152656.shtml
The movie is obviously faked and pre-rendered - since when DS has lighting effects, if the amount of detail isn't an obvious giveaway. But look at the pictures. Those look believable. Then again, considering the graphics power of the DS, we'll still in for some trouble. 120 thousand polygons per second versus 33 million on the PSP...
And something strange isn't it... if they have 3D, why do they have normal conversations in 2D? Why not in 3D like the previous 4 generations of IdolM@ster series?

Lady user
Seriously... what's the point of saying "Lady user" in sales ads? Lady user = take better care of their things issit?
If they dun scratch up their things by dumping everything into their handbags.
I've seen ladies that are rowdy. I have seen gentlemen that take good care of their things too.
Heck, I see more males spending time to polish their cars (or LCD screens) on their weekends. I seldom see females do that.
Because it is the male spirit. It's in our genes. To love something.
And the best part is that when you deal the seller turns out to be a he instead. Maybe it's a she-male, wouldn't know.

Actually... what is a tube DAC?
Tube DAC tube DAC, this term keeps popping up now and then, people choosing them for either the tube sound or the tube presence.
What would be the most accurate thing to be called a tube DAC?
Tube, like transistors, are semiconductor devices. You can make a computer out of it.
So instead of using an IC containing tonnes of transistors, you use individual tubes to make the DAC stage instead. Tonnes of individual tubes.
And that's why tubes are never used in computers anymore.
So a tube DAC doesn't exist.
What we have are IC DACs with a tube buffer.
If one argue that since it is a DAC with a tube inside can be called a tube DAC, I can say that a chip amp with a tube inside can be called a tube amp. Some people will go crazy over this statement. But it's the same logic.
Of course, some people think that a hybrid amp is the same as a tube amp. I won't try to argue further. I never do in pointless situations.

Don't we love it when noobs respond to pros and try to act pro and treat the pros like noobs on the internet?
But I think you know that already.
Can't we just strangle all the noobs?

Idolm@ster coming to DS
EDIT: See part two here
...as Idolm@ster: Dearly Stars, some kind of a side story to The Idolm@ster (well... not as if The Idolm@ster has any storyline).
So no Haruka, no Yayoi, no Chihaya, no Azusa, no Iori etc for you, not in your control.
And don't expect it to have 3D either. Since certain dancing games on the DS have proved that DS is total crap when it comes to rendering a character. In comparison, the PSP is... half crap. At least half is better than none.
So no concerts either.
Well wtf. What's Idolm@ster without the concerts. It'd be like a pussy breeding type game for girls.
Although I love Idolm@ster alot, I have a feeling that this thing is doomed to failure. The Idolm@ster SP is already a highly cut-down version with limited clothing and song choices and pretty bad graphics. Now how much can you fit into a DS cartridge.

More Burson madness:
"We have done direct comparisons with some of the leading brand names in the market. We can’t disclose the technical results on the Internet for obvious legal concerns. However some of the so-called “2ps, even 1ps” “ Low Jitter” claims, we found to be exaggerated. Our listening test confirmed that we couldn’t detect any differences between our clock and those costing five to six times more. If you can detect any differences, please let us know."

To use their words back against them, one can easily say that one couldn't detect any difference between their clock and those costing five to six times less. Hence its performance is found to be exaggerated.
"We can’t disclose the technical results on the Internet for obvious legal concerns", haha yeah right, sales concerns maybe.
