"Yeah! DS sorted"

Well, I can't get in to the original DS for £130 post, so here's the update....

Finally got through to the Nintendo people for the VIP DS pack.

Bloke on phone "And how old are you?"

me "er.....32...."

Bloke on phone "So you won't be needing a parental consent form then?"

Anyway, he told me that it should be with me by end of next week, otherwise I should phone back, and that was without prompting him for a delivery time. Good news, it seems....

Ohhh. You go do that :) I've done it at uni and people love it :D

Come on DS....Come to Daddy....

I shall then take it to work and get reactions, thereby ensuring more DS sales...

Yes, a hefty delay like that, gives it chance to get some good games.

Also gives the DS chance to pull a headstart :D

5?? I really wouldn't be happy with one!

time to abuse GAMES refund policy if it's going to be the case.
but with reports of it getting put back to september :-(

still at least we get the firmware updates and the buttons that stay on the console

I've had no problems with the sound. Except that it sounds fantastic in surround with earphones on.

As for PSP, I'd wait for the UK release. Can't return it unless there's 5 or more dead pixels? Balls to that.

no dead pixels, but anyone find the sound gets tinny after a while? it's fine when you just nudge it either way.

I'm so tempted to get a PSP imported from china for £180 delivered. but the fear of a dead pixel puts me off. I dont want to take that risk again!

You guys probably don't care, but you could get a DS with Mario 64 and Metroid demo (no WW demo) from vgc.ca and still probably pay less than £130 or thereabouts.

Suppose it doesn't matter now though, best to get a UK one with warranty etc.

Well yesterday morning I rang the number and was told the computers were down and to ring back later.

I attempted many times to be met with an engaged ring tone.

Attempted again this morning to be met with the engaged tone three times. The forth I got through and was told was 9th in a queue. Around six minutes later I got through to some boy who's voice hadn't even broken who took my payment and advised I would get my DS pak either Saturday or Monday.

Indeed, better to be safe than sorry!

I was told I'd get mine at the begining of next week.
