DS Worth it?

[bl4ckfl4g]

I bought mine from an Amazon marketplace seller. I think I paid 57.00 which is more but I got it in 2 days.

What kind of microSD cards are you guys getting for your R4?

 

[daveymark]

kingston if you want to play some sort of castlvania game. every other brand if you don't.

 

[bl4ckfl4g]

Kingston Japan 2gig

Strange most people say that. I have a sandisk 2gb microsd card and haven had any problems playing through any of the castlevania games. I did notice one stutter while saving at the last part in Portrait of Ruin, but other than that it was all fine.

I use Sandisk 2GB cards as well ($24.95 at OD) and I've never had a problem at all.
Just remembered - my fiancee's R4 uses a PNY 2 GB card, and hers never has any problems either.

the DS Lite is way too small. yeah, thats great for portability but nto for playing. my hands cramp up just looking at it. thats why i never bought one. i don't own any other handhelds at all.

I bought one for DD and had the same experience. then I bought her this to protect from drops/scratches and it gives just enough volume to it where it's now comfortable for me to play it.

LOL. Same here Queasy. I can't find any in-stock in the US though. All are overseas.

EDIT: Just found two at realhotstuff.com

If you want to do more than game, get a laptop. What does the PSP have that can compare to Advance Wars, Age of Empires, and Panzer Tactics?

Daxter, GTA VCS, GTA LCS, Tekken, Burnout, Socom, Wipeout, Metal Gear... should i keep going?

i prefer the psp over the ds, i have both, basically the only thing i like better about the ds is the load times... i would really go for the psp... once you finish all of those games i mentioned, new ones will be out that look awesome too. just my opinion though...

I'm looking forward to a God of War version on the PSP.

How about through Amazon? I paid 60 for mine. Granted, it's a little more than other stores, but it's paid for itself 100 times already. Think of it as two games you'd buy

That is what I did. I paid extra. 57 dollars but got it in 2 days.

Received my two R4s today from RHS. Ordered it Friday evening and got it this morning. $41 apiece shipped.
