Through this site, you can also order a limited edition pack, but only if you are a member of the nintendo vip club and have 1000 points or over. There are only 3000 of these and are going fast.

having played a PSP I think I'm going to get that instead. don't like the look of the DS at all.

Iv played the D.S. but not the psp. I was underwhelmed my the D.S., but have decided to buy one thanks to a nice price point, backwards compatibility, lots of software support, and a new instalment of Wario Ware!
The PSP screen looks amazing, but the main hurdle for it to overcome will be the glut of generic games being developed for it, and shoddy ps2 ports, and a supposedly poor battery life.
Only time will tell.........

Drawing penises on the DS is just plain fun.

Can you find that kind of fun on the PSP? Doubt it!

I've seen a few screenshots of some DS games, looks awful. I think I'll get a PSP instead, I like the look of it more and I can put music on it.

i like how the psp's battery life is so bad they've released a battery on a wrist strap as a back up. how crap is that?

the ds just looks more inventive. the psp will just be so generic and dull(like the ps2) and once the appeal of gta on the go wears off there'll be little left. whereas the ds with it's dual screen touchscreen microphone and wireless gameplay(in different rooms apparently) will rule supreme and it's backwards compatible so zelda will still work. and you get pictochat with it which looks like fun. and it's cheaper.

the PSP battery life isn't THAT bad. The one I tried managed to last across the whole office without running out.
