Don't you guys remember that Nintendo is setting things up for their new Gameboy? Thats where I think all the 3rd party support went.

NO we don't remember because that was a false rumor.

Good...then the DS is done LOL j/k

Well, I am going to be getting the DS tomorrow. Somebody saw me bidding on eBay, and offered me theirs...we're using PayPal so he can't cheat me out of it. I'm getting it for 170 USD (including shipping), and it includes Mario 64 DS, Metroid demo, and Ridge Racer (which I'll probably trade in at EB). The only problem is taxes and duties at the border, but he's just going to say that it is a gift, and therefore it's not taxed.

And Kyuzo, I figured you'd like this - he's selling it because he wants a PSP.

I've already witnessed a couple of Nintendo trade-ins for the PSP unit. I'm not exactly GLAD thats how they are getting it, but I am proud that they actually want the PSP that bad.

I saw a guy trade in his GBASP couple of games, his DS and couple of games to get the PSP. Then I saw a guy and his child at eb, the son said "I want the PSP!" and the clerk said that they are all sold out. The father said, "How about the DS?" and the son said, "Fine.." and believe me, when he said fine, it was a deep undertone of disappointment. I'm not lying...

So I've been seeing a lot of PSP over DS people around my parts, and on GT i've seen a lot of DS over PSP... so it's all offset.

I remember that...

After all that happened, Kyuzo and I were playing Untold Legends with the clerk at Software Etc., and the kid come up to us, to tell us that he might be getting the PSP, then "maybe" get the DS for his birthday... then when on to tell us how cool the PSP was... while the PSP was in our hands... man...

That kid reminded me of my little brother, just not as enthuiastic...

Oh but your brother spent countless sentences bashing the PSP whenever he could. When he got a hold of it, he couldn't stop asking you to let him play... lol

But that kid at Software man.... as if we didn't know how cool the PSP was... especially with it in our hands.

I sold the guy out and went with an eBay auction from Canada... much better deal because it only came with Mario, Metroid, and the DS, no ridge racer.
