Thanks a ton.

Impressions:

The graphics are pretty good, but definitely not PS3. More like 'slightly better than Wii', which is nothing to complain about. The specs seem pretty great, honestly. I might consider getting this, now. Please, please, PLEASE let there be some badass titles for this. Metroid Prime: Hunters remake/sequel? : )
Of course it's not PS3. It's a DS. When that interview was regarding the 3DS, they said that "It can process roughly what the PS3 can."

But, for a DS, the graphics are good. :)
