Been out looking for a Nintendo DS, man these things are getting hard to find. Everywhere is sold out but got the last one in Virgin.:approve:

Went to John Lewis, they have over 300 on order from customers and a further 400 on top to meet demand.

Mate of mine is wanting to try and get a Nintendo Wii when they go on sale on Friday, not sure what the demand for that will be like. He thinks there will be a big demand for it.

They may be hard to find, but they are an absolute hoot :) Keeps me amused for hours while working away.

My boyfriend is a huge gamer. He got his Wii from play-asia.com. You'll be able to get a DS from there aswell though. Just watch out for import tax though,will set you back another tenner....I know, I've just got the High Definition DVD drive for the XBox 360...the postie nearly felt the hairy side of my hand! Or as we say in penicuik, ah nearly pure gied um a shmack eh

Had a play with a DS when they first came out. Maybe it was just me, and my inability to multi-task, but I found the two screen system confusing and annoying.:( So I went for a PSP instead.:D:D

Bought a brand new Nintendo DS Lite from Ebay - got it in a few days! Perfect! Loads of them on there!

I went with the PSP too. Very handy for holidays with the WiFi and the fact that it can play MP4 movies.

The reason I went for the DS was that the games are more original - the PSP (to me) was just a Playstation you could take with you. I love Mario Kart etc and it's just a really nice change to be playing those type of games rather than GTA again.

I'm getting seriously tempted to get my paws on an Xbox 360..

Especially since This (http://xcm.cc/xcm_xfps_360.htm) wee gadget should soon be available.. so I can play FPS games like Gears of War, call of Duty and possibly Halo 3 PROPERLY.. witha keyboard and mouse, rather than the crappy controllers! :cool::cool:
