Nintendo DS

[PkmnTrainerJ]

I know they are out in US and Japan and possibly other places too. But not here, and as I got one shipped to me via eBay, I just wondered if anyone else had one. Anyways, they're great. I have Super Mario 64 DS and Mr. Driller Drill Spirits.

Some kid had one in a pub I was in on sunday, little shit.

[PkmnTrainerJ]

Do you mean little shit as in the DS is crap, or little shit as in you wanted the DS?

[PkmnTrainerJ]

Stupid internet explorer. Being slow and making me double post.

I'm assuming you paid through the ass for it, how much we talking?

[PkmnTrainerJ]

No. I only paid £100, for DS (factory sealed), Super Mario 64 DS, and UK adaptors.

That included P & P.

Call me stupid...but what is a Nintendo DS? I'm to lazy to Google it...

[PkmnTrainerJ]

Thats a Nintendo DS.

Touch screen technology, built in microphone, tilt sensor, built in wireless adapter, gba and ds slots, ds to gba functionality (meaning you might be able to put a GBA game in as well as a DS one and do something extra on the DS game.)

The DS comes out in the UK in March. Anything you've seen so far is illegal or imported.

[FunkAsPuck]

I can't fucking wait for the DS to come out over here. I think it looks so gorgeous.

Im not paying more than £100 for it though.

PSP is the future, Anyone with half a brain-cell and half a bank balance will get that one.

Ability to play movies and PS2 Graphics?

Yup...PSP wins this one

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

Has the PSP been released in the US yet, whats it like, any good? and what format are the games?

[Dan]

Not just the graphics, the whole PSP is awsome, The ability to use it as an mp3 player, Movie player, Games console and Sony have been talking about a patch which allows an email browser, web browser and much more.

Edit :

In reply to mudda, It's not out in the US till march, but its available from Japan and is region free. The games are on little disk things called UMDs, they hold 1.8gig compared to the DS catridge which holds 1gig.

Another Edit :

And the fact the battery life is so shit you won't be able to watch a movie in one go, be able to listen to only a few songs and have to keep saving your games to stop the battery going flat on you halfway through a level.

DS is where it's at, with it's better games and better battery life. I have a DVD player and CD player anyway, and I'll choose game quality over graphics anyfday.

PSP > DS

Though more then likely when i get enough money and if it has any games that interest me i might get DS. But then again there is still plenty of Advanced games that i am interested in getting. But i think PSP is a must buy, and i am curious as to how exactly the metal gear game will work. Inshort i believe Gameboy may get overthrown for once in it's existence.

[Guest Mr McFarlane]

Metal Gear Acid = Card Battle Game

A FUCKING CARD BATTLE GAME
