My shiny new Nintendo DS came from Hong Kong today (along with Mario 64).

If you have any questions about the system, just ask!

Yeah I do:

"why does the system always keep the man down?"

can you fuck it?

ps - why does the DS look like it was designed and built in the 1980's? it looks like a big version of the old nintendo Donkey Kong (2 screen) game....right down to the really basic control pad.

From what I have seen of the Sony PSP it looks modern....just a bit cooler. (no offense to the Nintendo community) - That said I hear the DS is a great device (am just talking about asthetics) congrats on the buy!

Because ...and... that's why.

Not yet, there's a 3rd party dongle being released in January.

It looks much nicer in the flash (plastic?).

flashcart?

and will nintendo release decent games for adults? the playstation games lineup looks much sweeter.

Personal preference I suppose. I don't see how any line-up could beat Mario Kart alone!

Jambo I am sooo jelous of you. What's Mario like? Did you think the release games were a bit crappy? That's the reason I didn't order one yet, I am wishing I did though :(

Is it very heavy? Is the touch screen cool to use?

[StygiaN]

ps. is that a button aboce the D-pad and what are the buttons above the 4 buttons? Start/Select?

Mario is better than the N64 version (because of the 20-odd mini games).

My brother has ordered a DS with Ridge Racer (Wireless multi-player gaming will ensue!). The rest of the line up is pretty shitty.

It’s not heavy.

The touch screen is very responsive. I just use my thumb rather than the included stylus or thumb-strap.

The button above the D-pad is the power button. You have to hold it to turn the machine off.

Correct on the Start/ Select assumption.

I’m loving it! (waits for the Macca lawsuit…)

Edit: It seems quite a few of you want to borrow my DS. That's fine as long as you pick it up. My address is:

101 Go fuck yourself,
Fuck alley,
Fuck fuck,
Other nasty words,
Ohio.

where did you order it from and how much was it?

[jambo]

Lik-Sang (http://www.lik-sang.com/) for £130 (inc. Mario 64 and shipping).

if you take it apart are there individual parts you can fuck?

No. They were going to add that functionality in but it would have pused the release date well past xmas, and that's not good for the big N!
