    Not out yet down here.

    Will cruise the Ehm... market (cough *smuggled goods* cough) next week, and see how much the price is inflated over there.

    I'm not precisely made out of money, nor do I have a tree, though. So I'll probably wait till i'm paid in early december to see how much I can really spend.

    I saw one today in Toy'S R US :-D Very nice indeed. I had to fight of shit loads of Japanese kids to get to it though :smt043 I've got to wait another 3 weeks or so before I can buy one. I think the DS will keep Nintendo up there at the top of hand helds simply because it offers something "NEW" that the PSP doesn't. Sure the PSP has better graphics, bigger screen, plays movies and so on but what's new about all that? Nothing at all. Movies on the move can be done via a PDA. Great looking games are on PDA (Not as good as PSP butstill good), MP3 via god knows how many options and so on. The DS after playing it may be cheap looking compared to the PSP but it sure offers more fun !! Blowing on the screen was really odd at first but seeing your breath have an effect on the screen is such a great feeling. I'm not a Hand Held fan at all but the DS is looking to change that.

    I am going to get a Nintendo ds but only for the Nintendo in house stuff and maybe some Sega stuff, I think the psp will be out on the move with me more but I will get a ds just to have the peice of hardware.I'm going to wait a few weeks until they release a limited edition model of the ds though, cause the grey one is just so god damn ugly it hurts.

    Indeed, but the DS will be costing Nintendo a lot more money than the any other GB. Two hi res colour screen, mic, touch screen, WiFI etc.

    I think personally that a lot of people are in the same bandwagon... Probably going to get both, myself.

    Aaaawwww! That's... the CUTEST thing I've ever seen.

    Wonder if they'd make one with kitties.... or BUNNIES! That would be so RAD!

    I at least would to buy the cartridge if I had the money but not the space to have pets.

    My two cats are insane, though, so I have enough "entertainment" in a screenless manner.

    ?? Japanese don't eat dogs. That's Korean people.

    I was going to say the same thing, but I didn't know if it would offend anyone - I've had so many Japanese friends here make some comment on the Korean people and dogs as foodstuffs. :smt043
