Nah, no problem.

I really thought it was news - did you not get the e-mail on the 15th?

I'm sorry if it sounded like I was having a go. I have no qualms about the post.

I'm not too bothered about it to be honest.

Doesn't particularly appeal to me.

No but they've been about for weeks. I'm not complaining. I'm sure it'll be a useful post. But I can walk into GAME and there are the boxes to all the up and coming DS games with the prices slapped on them and the release date too.

I can even play the system in the stores.

I'm surprised you didn't know.

Then why did I get an e-mail from Nintendo on the 15th declaring that "the news we've all been waiting for has been finally confirmed"?

Anyway - does it really matter?

As Hedfix said, it's not like there are any other threads just giving a simple run-down of what'll happen at launch.

Mav is the first person I've met on these forums NOT to know the release date of the DS.

See the "Nintendo DS" link in the corner over there? It tells you the launch date of the DS there, and has done for 3 weeks. That seems clearly labelled information to me.

No the release information was the 27th, I knew that would be the time we'd hear the launch info in early january because Nintendo confirmed it.

I can prove it to you. Look at the date for both of these news articles.

I honestly thought you were joking.

Nah, not convinced.

I got an e-mail from Nintendo on the fifteenth. You may have known certain details before, but the above is a more comprehensive and straightforward guide to the launch.

What!!! There are loads of posts on it, they were released on the 27th of february, I'll pop my post I wrote on it in a minute just to prove it.

Tilt further down the list criticises the launch line up, whilst there were several posts about those getting the DS from the stars catalogue.

The news is 3 weeks old.
