I could have got myself one for free lol.

At lunch i ws in Game and my mate was playing the game cube. Just to the side near the window there were some boxes with sterring wheels in and a DS with no box and a game in it, on top of these boxes lol! One of the member of staff left it there.

But i was good and gave it to the bloke behind the till

Besides, i wouldnt wanna be in possesion of that peice of **** anyway rofl!

i know 2 ppl with them and they both only own mario. that is gonna be the only sticking point for the ds so far.

I imported mine from the states. Its brilliant, especially Metroid Hunters, the control is so amazing, but alot of people havn't had the chance to play it (or spend enough time to really get into it).

Yeah, I didn't think I was gonna like it till I played my sisters metroid hunters. I was hooked. I bought one for myself. Only, now I'm probly gonna trade it in for a PSP, sniff, sniff. I wish I could have both!

^^ no good games are out yet...wait 6th months when we have good games out.

yea i agree they really should of put a stick on it to control with. the touch screen is a good idea but not really helpful when playing a game tbh. im sad to say but i like the psp tbh.

The touch screen doesn't as well as the joystick; the touch screen has abilities that the joy stick can't match though

I just read someting on Slashdot that said someone got the Linux kernel to boot on the DS. Thats kinda cool, a pocket sized linux box.

I have a DS, and I love it.

I just bought Puyo Pop Fever and it is a great game.

You should put Linux on it. That would be tight.
