If you get a DS then you can get an R4DS card to get more games onto it via the net

I think youve already answered your question in your first post


I just rang a friend in the business of electronics and he says "fucking hell mate, last night was the bomb (shitly bad in his terms?), woke up in some random birds house, she was ugly as fuckk, oh yeah, you want to know about ds's and psp's yeah?"
Me "yes please"
Shane "basically the psp is superior technically, graphics, process speed, memory, but many people prefer the ds, as its more fun, like you with the wii, its a shit console but is more fun, and has life, now can i go back to my bed, im fucked"

The full conversation there lol

My missus bought a pink DS in October to take on holiday. She has hardly seen it as I am always on it. Mario Kart is brilliant and the sound quality is superb. I think she is buying me one for my birthday!! Not a pink one though. The battery lasts forever.

i check black, white and silver versions in Argos, all out of stock

Then the guy at currys says they got more phone calls asking for them than they did stocking coming was a HUGE demand over xmas he said, and went onto to say they wont have any more for 1-2 weeks

My little cousin got a DS on christmas day, i said i'd show her how to work it and that, and then just ended up playing it myself all day

Can't really comment on the PSP as i have never used one, but as said, Mario kart is good fun and the i thought the graphics were fairly impressive
