Buying a DS

Canyarion · 04-05-2005, 10:44 AM

Ok I'm on a mission here. I really don't know what exactly to do here.

In 3 weeks, I will get me a Nintendo DS. The cheapest DS I can get in stores costs €135 (with coupons) (can someone change that to dollars? Should be around $170).
I could also import a new color from Japan, but then I won't get the Metroid demo (is it worth it??): US$ 189.90 (€147.29). http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3591
Importing gives $30 extra shipping costs.

Now about the games, all I want right then is Polarium. If you can find anything cheaper than €32, please tell me.

Last thing I want is a carrying case. I can buy one from this Dutch store: http://www.dixons.nl/Store/productLi...0&startrange=0
Or from Lik-Sang (if I also import the DS): http://www.lik-sang.com/list.php?nav=over&category=276&
I want an original Nintendo bag, not some 3rd party thing!

Edit: I like this case: http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?cat...ducts_id=6095&

So what would you do? Or do you have any other ideas?

thanks

spring for a psp... lol jk...

i'd import a color DS cuz the two tone black & grey is ugly.

If you import, get the white one... that one just looks soo good...

As for the Metroid demo, you dont need it persay (sp?), but it really demonstrates the abilities of the DS

Yeah I was thinking about the white DS.

This blue case:

$235. €185.

The white DS looks very sleak and nice, almost up to par with the PSP's glossy design.

Yeah.... definitely would go with importing a color. The black and grey is just the ugliest color scheme the DS has.

The white makes the DS look sexy.

personally, i would go with the PSP (I AM NOT A FANBOY!), i just don't like any games that nintendo has made in the past several years except the Metroid series. so meh...just me though. and with the video, pictures, and music capabilities...well, nuff said.

Hm, I usually like reviving old threads if they're still very relevant... but reading my posts from 5 years ago is a bit weird.

(I can see that my English has improved. And that I'm single now.)

Anyway, I finally bought a DS! A DS Lite, black/red, €88 incl. shipping. It might be one of those refurbished ones.

It's extra cool because they never sold the black/red one in Europe.

Those were exclusive to GameStop which I'm pretty sure they don't have those in Europe. They had black and blue ones too iirc

That might be correct, I know there's a blue/black one.
After I bought it, I realized my phone is in the same colors.

You revived a thread where the last post was about your virginity...

So how's that going?

TheSlyMoogle · 04-15-2010, 07:31 AM

He just bought a DS... My guess? Virgin.

Angrist · 04-16-2010, 10:34 AM

Hey as I've probably explained before, it's a conscious choice I make. I could have, but I didn't.

So... I hope to receive my DS today or tomorrow. I can't wait! Oh wait, I can.
