Well, after waiting 2 weeks for my DS to arrive from a US seller, we have both come to the conclusion that it has been stolen en-route. (or that he never had it in the first place!) If nothing happens today, i'm getting a full refund.

Now I only have one very hectic week to get a DS before Christmas. I'm thinking about gbax.com, but it has no Metroid demo, which is a shame. Does anybody here have a Japanese DS? If so, can you turn in to proper English? I don't want a DS in part English, and part Japanese Symbols.

Just be my luck that I'll order a Japanese DS, and I'll get a dead pixel, or a Wi-Fi problem, i may have to bite the bullet, and wait till after Christmas. Its just a damn shame I have 2 DS games here, and no DS.

Do'h !

So now you've changed the language, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two, apart from the obvious label?

You've made my day now. I can look forward to playing Feel das Magic, and Mario 64 come Monday.

Looks like i won't be biting the bullet after all!

It was already opened as GBAX.com took the jap charger out. No biggie. I just went on it to change the language for the person it is to be given to. And yes, it was US-JAP as my DS is American :)

Cheers mate!

Well wi-fi works pretty well. I used both DS's to Pictochat and it was completely painless to connect.

I know, I was only joking !

I just hope all the Wi-Fi mumbo jumbo works - and the future online mode. All will be revealed i suppose.

It's exactly the same size as the US one, don't worry :D


And Ashman, it's a gift for someone. It's not like I spend all day Pictochatting myself, is it, IS IT??
