Although this has nothing to do with my distrust for the system.
Seeing the fourth in the Wario Ware series (lol and in under 2 years) on the release list had persuaded me to get the system last night.
Yet I was caught up in the hype, excited for the moment, when I ordered my £130 DS last night. All I have to do is call Nintendo, give them my credit card details, and Wario ware demo, Metroid Prime demo, DS system, a t-shirt and Mario 64 DS would be on its way.
It sounds fantastic but then I realised something.
Although I CAN afford it, I shouldn't buy it. I was already worried about expenses, considering the recent slew of Gamecube software and other such stuff in February. Spending £130 will not help at all.
Also I have tonnes of games to play as it is, waiting till the launch day might be worthwhile enough but even then might be too soon.
I am delighted to see 4 Nintendo games at launch, that's a fantastic result. It includes a Pokemon game too, so the PSP will have a fight on it's hands. The price is great, it is before the release of the PSP and the system is actually looking damn attractive.
The advertisement campaign regarding a boy doing things to the world he inhabits with a finger seems wonderful and the campaign is massive. Also releasing 3000 DS' into each European region, getting a few numbers out there before the launch, is a cunning ploy indeed.
I'm looking at that deal and really wishing I could afford it. But I shouldn't. My wallet would never forgive me. I guess I'll just wait for my birthday.
Damn.

Did you read the post? Did it not discuss my thoughts on the launch line up?
Wait I think it did.

I'm gonna keep the $50 for when Australia get the PAL version of RE4, then I only have to pay an extra £15 if I'm correct.
I ordered my DS from there a few hours ago. I'm getting SM64 DS and Wario Ware Touched as my two games *sits by door waiting for DS*

Hell, should I make a post about why I haven't bought a certain CD in the past week?!

Don't forget the £12-ish P&P.
Man Dringo that deal sucks compared to the one I found. I'm going to import mine from Australia. I found it on dvdcrave.com
Basically for £120 you can get a DS with the MP:H demo, any 2 games of your choice for it and $50 worth of vouchers to use on the site. So if you used those to put towards a PS2, GC or X-box game you'd only have to pay an extra £15!
Plus you'd get your DS sometime in Febuary! I'm going to be pre-ordering it today!

Or at least cut in price.
It'd been gone by now if they had reduced the price.
