well. i guess its fine with the games. altho that pisses me off cuz i'd rather just get the main thing for cheaper, same with any company/console. but we wont get into that :P

Not bad of a price. I'd also prefer if you could purchase it alone, for a little bit of a lower price, but since I'm not interested in buying any handhelds...

Also...if Metroid Prime Hunters automatically comes free with every single DS, what does that tell you about the game? I mean, if it was a really cool, flagship title that people would want to go out and buy, they wouldn't include it free with every DS, would they? Just kind of seems weird to me.

This is exciting! I can't wait to buy it! I better start saving my money.

Where does it say Metroid Prime Hunters comes free with every DS??? The Nintendo site doesn't say that.

Perhaps they're selling bundles, for let's say $170 or something.

I'm really happy that PictoChat is embedded in the hardware! Now it will be used.

Null, I like the idea of communicating with people close to you. Let's say you're in a train and some other dude enters. You immediately get a message. You can contact him (practicly anonymous) and ask him to play a game together.

Sounds great to me!!!!

And it will be fun for friends.

Edit: the latest thing I've read on C-E (

) is that you get a demo of MPH.

The DS also has alarm functions. The full fact sheet is pretty neat.

"It's official. The Nintendo DS will also come boxed with a copy of the game Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt."

Notice how it says Nintendo DS, and not Nintendo DS bundle.

HA!

'First Hunt' is just a demo of MPH.

So you're getting 1.1 game for free, not 2.

Hm I wanted the gold Zelda SP, but I might wanna save up for this one.

They launched Mario with the nes and snes and they were good IMO, but hey we'll just have to wait and see about MPH. hehehe ( funny how that can also stand for miles per hour.)
