Thats too much DS. I dont like Hand-helds....
But George Harrison is dead! Tell him to do a new solo album.
THE DS ROCKS!!! lol. I still got the original, and unless it explodes, i am going to keep using it. Although my super mario 64 is corupt.....
Took them that long? O_O; I thought they'd blown that away YEARS ago...
I remember when I thought the DS was the dumbest idea since virtualboy. I think Nintendo are secretly paying people to buy them all up just to rub my nose in it. Bastards!
