In a month or so, I'm going to be having an operation and will be in hospital for a few days (then off work for a month, zing!). I'm going to be bored out of my mind unless I take something to do. I was thinking of getting a few DS games then leaving them alone until I go into hospital.

However, it occured to me that there might be a problem with that. We all know that you're supposed to switch mobile phones off in hospitals because the signals they give out can interfere with hospital equipment... but does anyone know if this would apply to the DS as well? Seeing as the DS is supposedly constantly sending out signals; searching for other DS consoles to connect with (or so I heard), would these interfere with hospital equipment in the same way as mobile phones?

If so, I'll take my GBA and finish Astro Boy and Minish Cap... but I fancied having Kirby and Nintendogs keeping me and my bed-pan company.

No it only searches if the little green light at the bottom is flashing. Very few games do that and if they do, then you will be able to have the option to switch it off. Otherwise it is just gay.

Yeah, I just tried turning the option on in Kirby. Intriguing...

And so deliciously pointless! Hm, I hope someone in an 80 metre radius around me is playing a DS! We can chat on Pictochat instead of face to face! How fun!

Sorry, I do love Pictochat, but honestly...

It don't bother me if you do get a PSP.

Just with the majority of games available on the mainstream consoles, and the fact I've only bought 2 PS2 games, I probably wont be getting one myself.

Lumines ain't available on mainstream consoles :D.

The DS is quirky, but ultimately, I wouldn't say there's anything worth owning it for yet. I know that's my opinion, the killer app of Nintendogs just doesn't do it for me :S.

Except Meteos, before I get flamed, I wouldn't mind having that, but that's from the same people as Lumines so no surprise :).

HOW DARE YOU!! ;D

Yeah, Meteos is great, and so is Kirby, Mario 64 DS, WarioWare, Another Code...

But I totally understand if you ain't interested. I know you'll come crwaling back when the console goes online....mwhahahaha!

Is this on individual games or actually on the system itself?
