From the perspective of a 26 year old gamer, is it worth having? And what games would interest me? Preferably some decent RPG or strategy titles.

Your thoughts are most welcome.

Actually, there's 100% doubt that it'll play DS games.

imo, ds < psp < gba2

although thats quite a stupid statement considering the gba aint even closed to finished. however, theres no doubt it will play gba/ds games, so i might wait for it. snowboard kids could be the shizzel nizz though. i absolutely loved the n64 game. why? i dont actually know.

i know but if they combined them they could make a console with the great touchscreen idea but with the graphics and capabilities of the psp.

But the PSP is better. I have both and the DS really is poor compared. The only thing i like about the DS is having the old N64 games to play. I hardly use my DS but play or listen to music on my PSP every day.

I know, and it would get rid of all these stupid arguements about which one's the best. Sadly that would never happen :(.

In the way of RPGs you should probably wait for Final Fantasy 3 that was rumoured before the DS' release(it was apperently confirmed, but I forgot so I'll just say rumoured). And a few others that I won't mention as these guys already have.

You can import them already, though it'll cost about £40 if I rememer correctly.

I bought a cheap 3rd party one instead. Bigger, but about £15.

I'm hoping when (if) that GBA mp3 player thing comes out over here, you'll be able to use it from the GBA slot and play a DS game at the same time = custom soundtracks = w00t.
