Topic: How did I ever live without the DS Lite?

[Shin Gallon]

I'd be more inclined to shop at EB and Gamestop if they didn't have a practice of trying to shove extra sales down your throat. I know how to take care of my games, I don't need to buy "insurance" for them. That always sounds kinda creepy to me..."Nice game, be a SHAME if somethin' were to HAPPEN to it, ya know..."
And yeah, their "We'll give you 5 bucks for a game then sell it for 5 dollars less than a factory-sealed copy" business sucks, too. And don't get me started on how they'll sell you the floor demo at full price despite it being opened and having stickers all over the case.

You might also want to try a Google search.

Ack!! Stuck Pixel

ShyGuy post at the bottom has a link on how to fix stuck pixels.

circular linking FTW!!!

Thanks to all you guys for trying to help me. People like you are why I love this website. Hopefully one of the things you guys (or girls) suggested will work.

Anyone seen the new web-ad for the DSL? It's brilliant. I know GameFaqs has them. It goes:

You know you want to upgrade to a DS Lite
So upgrade your dad's brain too
Give your dad your old DS
And throw in Brian Training

Smart.

[SlayerZero]

in case anybody wants to know, if you got your DS Lite at any Gamestop, and it has a stuck pixel, if you bring it to them within 7 days they'll exchange it for a new one free of charge. I got my new one today and its stuck pixel free!

[Artimus]

Finally got it today! I thought the design would be my favorite...but those SCREENS. Man they're beyond stunning. So worth upgrading, there's just no screen to screen comparison. Even the lowest brightness is crisper and better saturated. AWESOME system.

anyone know where i can import a black ds lite from?
anyone have a hand euro to dollar convertor? or would it still be pounds? i like pounds.  

[ShyGuy]

MaryJane is back!

I'm about to get mine in the next 30 minutes!

yahoo finance would have a currancy exchanger.  But unless you've got a friend in europe, you still probably looking at $200 dsl. I'd just say get a polar white and a couple of games and be happy

[MaryJane]

I live life in excess quite often, so I'm gonna go for the black ds from play asia, i shouldv'e thought of using that friend option when my friend went to europe last week, although i'm not sure she wouldv'e remembered anyway... amsterdam has a way of stealing your memory.  

[KnowsNothing]

I caved guys ;___;  I picked one up.  I didn't like white at first, but it's not that bad.

Everything is awesome, except I really expected the screens to be a little brighter....not that it's BAD, but it's not "death."  Also, the D-Pad seems a little loose in it's casing, it slides around a bit...Is this normal?

[MaryJane]

When you buy from play-asia they give you the a USB charger free!
Sweet a 4.99 value for a 200.00 system, at least its something

[nickmitch]

Plus, you'd be the only kid on the block with a non-white DS lite.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Daisy Citrus Explosion DS Lite plz.

[Athrun Zala]

gahhhh.....

my sister is going to Europe in a couple of weeks, and I'm *really* tempted to tell her to get me a black DSL..............the problem is, if I di that, I wont have enough money for the Wii :cry:

[31 Flavas]

Trade in / sell your old stuff on eBay. I just looked, looks you can get $80 - $90 - $100 for your used DS if its good condition.  

[Athrun Zala]

yeah well, the main reason I'm interested in the DSL is because I don't have a DS to begin with...

[KDR_11k]

I wouldn't be too worried about the Wii yet, we don't even know which games will be available at launch and I'd guess if you bought it on day one you'd just hate yourself for buying a system without games.

[Athrun Zala]

mmm.....it doesn't matter anyways, as I just found out that a music store here carries anime OSTs at very decent prices, so I'll buy some of those instead rool: (yeah, the temptation is too big, I mean, Mai Otome, Gundam and Hellsing OSTs? who can resist such things! :massivedrool: )

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

And if those anime CDs retail for around $10-$15, rest assured they're bootlegged.

Legit anime CDs, after the cost of importing from Japan, aren't cheap.

Hardly any CD from Japan is cheap. Looking at one right now that is a soundtrack to the latest "One Missed Call" film that retails for ¥3,059.... and that's just the retail price, forget adding on shipping.

Makes collecting soundtracks from the country so damn expensive, although I just can't resist...

obviously NOT SO cheap, but $34 for Gundam SEED Destiny OSTIII seems pretty reasonable to me.....

thus far it seems they have OSTs in the 30s, Singles in the 20s, and the only CDBOX they have as of now (Cowboy Bebop) at 122......

obviously, there isn't a huge catalog, but the simple prospect of being able to buy them here (instead of importing and being raped by the customs) is simply.....marvelous ^_________^

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Good store, then.

I spent nearly $40 on the Love Hina TV OST and the Wind Waker OST and Metroid Prime/Fusion OST, each.

Unless of course you are buying the legit R1 CD anime soundtracks from Geneon.  While it's not a huge catalogue, they have a good number of exellent discs at srp of only $14.99.  Check Rightstuf.com, or BB has them as well.
