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.

And your mother shall remain forever my king.

Gah.
GC/DC/DS
Same thing.
But he got his DS, yes, looks great.
...Didn't Ashman get his DC today?
He said he'd post first impressions - damn him!
All in jest, your mother will forever remain my queen.
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.

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