Maybe you should take into consideration that its still in BETA....sheesh...I'm doubting what you see in his hand is the final size/style. Plus, most live portables by XM aren't all too tiny, either. I'd expect a nicer looking pic of it later down the line as we near the date. Take what you see here as a treat, but don't consider it to be the end product.

Let me pouint this out (I beleive it was said before, but people ignored it). You can Disable the shadow that shows where the peice drops. As far as seeing 5 peices ahead. This is irrelevant to me. I hardly took time to "plan" with one peice ahead, let alone looking at 5 of them and writing a blueprint? Come on.

I own this game, and was hesitant, but it's great. I spent the last week before buying it playing NES and GB tetris. I found the DS version to be just as, if not more fun at times. Especially online, with items. It enhances it.
