Hey everyone,

So yesterday I preordered my DS from videogamesplus.ca. I've bought games brand new from this company on eBay, and knew what the service is like, so I ordered from there.

Today, I realise I'll also need some games. However, there seems to be no launch games that look... appealing.

What has everyone else preordered? And I swear they had Mario 64 DS on their site yesterday...

They'll all be around £20-£25 I'd imagine.

Just ordered mine from Importmadness.co.uk for, plus Mario 64 DS and delivery which all comes to about £140 quid. If I find a better deal elsewhere I'll cancel, but I know this way it's getting FedExed to me in 2-3 days which ain't bad.

Bah!

All the games except for Mario are £30.

A little more than I was sort of hoping for but never mind...
Do you think that'll mean they translate as £40 in the highstreets over here, and £30 from online retailers?


I can see it doing well though.
I can see hundreds of kids just buying it for the sketchboard alone.
I reckon more artistic software might be in the works as well...
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to draw animations and stuff?

And then once they've all bought it for the sketch board, it'll only take ones of them to get Mario 64 (single cart multiplayer) for the rest to get hooked, and Bomberman too...

It'll be contagious...

The PSP is on there for £220! That's exactly double the DS... I knew it was going to be expensive, but Christ! I'm just glad I don't want one!
