I plan to get one of these very soon with all the bad reviews its getting from the playstation fans NINTENDO Fans should be glad to hear its being very highly even from the xbox crowd.
With the Dual screens,stylus, Stero sound system, pictochat, and wireless gaming this is one Heck of a game system. Ive seen previews for games to be released and lets just say all you n64 fans will be getting a bunch of flashbacks from the good old days. All you pokemon fans out there should be happy to hear there will be 2 new pokemon games for this system Pearl is just one of them.
a must buy now April 5, 2005
this thing is awesome. the games rock and pictochat is awesome too but a few bugs like you can't go that far but no wires holding you back. buy this game system with ashphalt urban gt
NINTENDO does it again March 29, 2005

Here are my 2 cents worth.
The DS is light weight, highly portable, and fairly sturdy. When closed the DS is still small enough to fit into most jean or jacket pockets. The design of the system is very attractive. People WILL stop to see what you're playing with.
They may be shocked to discover that you are not just playing with yourself like you normally are. You see, the DS is WIRELESS multiplayer!! I have one, and my girlfriend also has one. We tested this wireless function and it is pretty powerful. Our apartment is pretty much set up with all the rooms in a straight line. so i went to the front room and she went to the back and we fired those suckers up. Worked like a charm. Not being satisfied with that test I went and closed a door between us. Still worked perfectly. I scribbled a note to my girlfriend, sent it wirelessly via the magic of the DS to tell her to shut a door on her end... that's when the connection was broken. However, I merely took 3 steps in her direction and my username instantly popped back into the chat room.
The graphics are better than a Nintendo 64 or Playstation 1 and the dual speakers really pack quite a punch. Sound is beautiful and in stereo.
I feel the system should have included Mario 64DS as a standard accessory. Remember the good ol' days when a system was packaged with a game? I miss those days.
The stylus is a little too small for adult hands, but you can easily use any stylus you like from other portable computer things. Other styluseses wont fit in the back of the DS though.
This past Sunday, i was at Easter dinner and my little cousin had her DS out. She was eating cheescake with her fingers and using her bare hands on the touch screen. I shuttered and attempted to take it from her for the sake of the machine, but then I thought "Hey, it's a Nintendo product and is going to stand up to cheesecake or whatever else gets on it." And I bet you it will, too!
Don't be fooled by the hype around the PSP. It is plagued with defective pixels in the LCD screen (they say all LCD screens have this defect, but the two DS's in my apartment do not suffer from this) and the PSP als has a button that doesnt work right all the time. The square button is too close to the screen on the PSP and will not work right.
Get the DS, save yourself the money that would be wasted on the PSP. Peace.
