Finally got a new DS

So about a year ago, my DS broke. :( I won't go into details but yeah... tragic. I had another one before that, but I lost that one. Yeah, I'm bad at holding onto DS' so I decided not to get another. But then I realized all the great DS games I've been missing out on, and DS emulation isn't... quite there. =P Not to mention, a lot of the games I want to play aren't very "emulator-friendly" you could say. Anyway, a friend of mine is selling all his gaming crap for a PS3 so he can play Demon's Souls. At first I was like " :glare: That's stupid of you" but then he said he was selling his DS. So I was like " :creep: PROFIT" and I decided to trade him two PS3 games I didn't want anymore (LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm). And today he gave me it and Kingdom Hearts 358/2. Which is great because was going through that on emulator but I my save magically disappeared one day. >_>

Anyway, it's an old DS (The very first kind). It's red and it very great condition. There's a dead pixel on the top screen but that's all good. I can tell it was very underused since there was an 80 dollar price tag from GameStop still on there. And I ordered an AceKard 2i today as well. So yeah... I'm back into DS gaming! :yaynds:

woot congrats.
i bought a DS Lite for $20 from a friend. he said he had absolutely no use of it.
but still interested in doing a case mod though for my half dead DS Lite.
 
Wait a minute...you swapped LittleBig Planet and the original MotorStorm for a good quality DS?!

Seriously?

I dunno about you, but in my local store LittleBig Planet sells for about £10 and the first MotorStorm sells for £2.99. That's a friggin' steal if I ever saw one. Good work sir, I tip my hat to you....

No smiley for tipping one's hat, I see. Someone go and make one, I'm useless at that sort of thing. This'll have to do for now.

:yaynds:

BTW, Demon's Souls kicks ass. I've sunk 12 hours into it already (I can't use the PS3 much, my old man hogs the TV for days on end) and I've only beaten two bosses. It kicks my ass constantly but I love it. Strange but true.

Heh, good luck with that. I don't trust myself to do a case-swap. I'm afraid I'll mess something up. xD

Heh, thanks. My MotorStorm actually came with my PS3. Not for resale. xD

And yeah, Demon's Souls was made by Atlus and they're renown for their hard games. =/

Apparently if you have a dead pixel Nintendo considers it as a defect and you can trade it in for a new ds for free...
Correct me if i'm wrong, cause I have heard this somewhere,,

Sigh. Demon's Souls is developed by From Software. It was just published by Atlus. Atlus had nothing to do with the game itself, besides bringing it over into NA territories.

Oh, sorry. My bad. Didn't know since I never looked up any info on it and I've been pretty uninterested in it.
