Ah!

I had one a few months ago from Hong Kong. Much cheaper over there (UK RRP about £130), and even then they are imports from Japan.

I thought about making a buck or two, but couldn't be bothered in the end.

What games you got? They are a good laugh though... for the first few weeks...

You can import the DS for about £100 + import duty from a few places on the web. You then need a UK GBA lead to power it.

The DS is impressive in specs, slighlty higher than the N64 home console!!

DS is in actual fact, thrashing the PSP in sales, both in America and Japan. To say that they have sold over 2 million units since launch is amazing. Took the iPod about a year to reach.

As scarface would say, "bang goes his new business venture "

Cheers for that!!

:D

Still made quite a bit of profit though and a lot of that profit comes from their handheld hardware. If they stop any hardware it would be the console but they are still working on their next gen console so it won't be just yet.

You guys go with what ever you think but the writing is on the wall for Nintendo.

You lie like a cheap watch!! Nintendo will pull something out of the bag. It's just these Brit suckers who like to make Billy Gates richer. As a company though, I can't stand Micros :tsktsk: it. Over hyped, over priced, unstaible junk. They guy didn't even write the first Windows software.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time. He bought the program from some computer nerd who thought there was no future in the desktop system.

Cough cough, going well

Point is, Nintendo will nver do a Sega because unlike them, Ninty sell there systems by the bucket load in Japan and America.
