Hello there.

I'm interested in selling my Xbox, in exchange for something new and probably cheaper.

I'm a little unsure about this "Nintendo DS" lark however; is it the next step up from the GBA or what? Or is it some sort of 'novelty extra' like the GBASP was when that was released?

Yes, I should be crawling google, but to be honest, you guys know your stuff and it'd be a great help to understand what this DS thing is.

I guess I've been kind of out of touch with this whole gaming thing, but I've only really heard a few snippets of information about this DS lark; no one seems to be making a big deal out of it.

Moving on...

...Didn't Ashman get his DC today?

He said he'd post first impressions - damn him!

I think, Mr. D, that we both fell into the trap of being completely sarcastic and not at all serious while failing to realise the other was doing exactly the same thing.

Maybe you were being pedantic. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure who's on their period this week either. Can you tell me?

Do you think, that maybe, just maybe, I was being perdantic???

You know, nit-picking, like criticising spelling mistakes.

Christ look whose on their period this week.

Ok, these are purely my opinions, but:

> Splinter Cell 3 - not gonna bother with.
> Republic Commando - not gonna bother with.
> Conker - Cannae wait for.
> Kameo - incredibly skeptical...didn't interest me when it was supposedly in development for GameCube. Might be a bargain-bin game for me in a year or so time.
> KOTOR II - not gonna bother with.
> Jade Empire - not gonna bother with.
> Pirates! - ?
> HALO 2 - got - brilliant game.
> (HALO 3?) - It will happen, but for Xbox?
> HALO - got, good
> TimeSplitters 3 - Not sure which system I'll get it for yet.
> Oni 2 - In my opinion it's what that whole Febuary 9th deal is about.
> (www.ilovebees.com) - not gonna bother with.
> XBOX LIVE - best part of Xbox.


The Xbox has some great games, I'm not disputing that, but some of those choices are just a bit...generic.

I can't afford Xbox games, I can't afford Xbox Live and to be honest, it doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Last year I would be saying different, mainly because then I enjoyed to play Xbox-style games, now I prefer games which I can just lose myself in instead of the whole "realism" aspect. Halo 2 might be good and everything, but I'm always constantly feeling 'I've been here before' and well, I've had enough of 'realistic racer #20236'...

Don't get me wrong, the Xbox is a great console and everything, it's just it doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Ninty games have that 'thing' about them, you know? I was playing Zelda: Minish Cap earlier and it's brilliant, I'm really enjoying it at the moment (borrowing a mates GBASP)

It's got that 'pick up and play' value that I can cherish my gaming time with, instead of having to sit through those monotonous loading screens on Fable.
