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.

Don't sell your XBOX.

You'll regret it..

Splinter Cell 3
Republic Commando
Conker

Oni 2 - In my opinion it's what that whole Febuary 9th deal is about. (www.ilovebees.com)

I'll be shoving my first impressions up tomorrow when I'm expecting it with Mario and Urban Asphalt.

Hopefully anyway.

Sorry, I didn't realise they had computers in Dringo's Special Retard Centre for those who don't have the mental capcity to understand what someone actually means.
Pragmatics? What? Some kind of Czech calculations?

They could have just made a mistake.

They're calling everyone who's got a DS on the way. Me and Ash had our calls yesterday. Just a few hours to go..

I just got a phone call from FedEx, and apparently my DS has been sent saying its worth only £20. So whoever sent in, swift or something was trying to fraud the UK customs.

It better not stop my DS!! Had to email some FedEx guy with the original price of the DS from the email I got when buying it.

I was quite surprised.
