No, this isn't a wind-up. 24 hours after getting it, I'm kind of bored of it.
There's nothing wrong with the console at all. Really like it. Just for some reason I'm well, just BORED of it. Perhaps it's a few more games that are needed but right now I've got a very desirable Door Stop.
Ended up playing Fifa 2005 and Project Gotham 2 on the Xbox instead...

I don't study English Language. And I'm sure you could work out what I was saying?!?!?!?!??!!? I am not natural with language, especially grammar, I can do it but it requires looking at after I've done something. And I can't be bothered. I just started 2 sentences with And and could have used a comma in one of those instances. Gonna pick me up on it? Go do something constructive with your life.
Sure, you had

APU???
That was my second choice. You need an A to get in there too you know. Just not as many ucas points.
Who cares if I make gramatical mistakes??? I study English Literature which is the study of texts from around the world not English Language. I'm not all that good with grammar, but I'm okay when I do extensive editing on my essays because I do know it, I just need to think about it first.

I used to play Doom on the bus on my GBA. A few mates had it to so there was always a bit of linkup fragging (sounds dodgy).

I know that, you play a DS for pick up and play games.
But these aren't just games you finish quickly or puzzle games...
It is platformers, RPG's etc... where you can get to your next marker point in lets say 15 minutes. A deep game that enables a quick blast getting you somewhere.
A bit like four swords. Each level takes roughly 20-30 minutes. But the game has depth.
Depth is important in any game. Even puzzelers need a learning curve.

To a point that's fine though cause I got this as a pick up and play kind of thing. There's no way I'll be playing it for hours on end with a PS2 and Xbox in the house. I think WarioWare and similar is what I need.

My first PS2 stopped reading CD's but DVD's are fine. Ended up getting a silver one in the end. And I promptly managed to trip over the controller wire and knocked it onto the floor.
Had the console 3 days. Had bought GTA San Andreas that very day. Disc got trapped inside, scuffed it to bits.
Took the console apart, took the drive apart. Used a GameDR on the disc, put the console back together. Works fine. And yet no doubt it'll randomly fail in a year's time for no reason at all.
