The Nintendo DS thread v.2

I prefer to get games at Wal-mart so I can use my 10% discount. I will order a game online if a couple weeks go by and it still hasn’t shown it’s face at work.

I had to buy all 3 DS Castlevanias online because Wal-mart never stocked them for whatever reason.

lol, 10% discount off $30 + tax is still more expensive than $28 with no tax n free shipping.

I’m about to put my whole April Atlus order into the amazon pretty soon

i don’t know if this has been mentioned already, but why does square enix feel they can charge 40 deneros for their games when half of them aren’t worth the cases they’re packed in?

It’s the name that gives the markup, I figure. I still wouldn’t pay 45 for a game that came out nearly two decades ago.

It’s a question I ask myself all the time. Maybe it’s arrogance?

Because people will still pay for them. Not much else to it.

Last game I bought was PW2. Haven’t played ds since, I missed a few key titles and obviously all the new ones released in the past year or so.Can someone pm me?

The name alone sells. The sales guys figure out the maximum price they can charge and still put out the same volume the expect. If they know they can sell say, 10 million units at $40, they see no reason to bring it down to $30 if that still sells only 10 million units. If they figure bringing down to $30 increases sales to say, 12 million units, it’s not worth it.

They’re just maximizing the cash because they know fanboys will pay whatever the price is. If they can get away with ripping people off they will and laugh to the bank because people still buy it anyway.

Man, i’m addicted to Amazon! Seriously, it’s so sweet to come home and a package is waiting for you. Most of the time I don’t even remember what I bought :lovin:

The DSi has become it’s own platform, and will soon have it’s own games, like the Gameboy Color did.

gah, it prints money =[

That’s a bunch of bull if you ask me… Why? Cuz it’s the same shit as a DS. In fact, it is a DS. I hope whatever DSi games they make bombz hard. Greedy ass mofos…

One of these days you’ll open a box and find hat dildo you bought in drunken stupor.

Then the lolz will commence.

The DSi actually has more processing power and four times the RAM of a DS, though.

Cry more. You’ll buy them anyways.

And seriously, who DIDN’T see this coming? Honestly?

Really? That sounds awesome for the homebrew stuff.
If the DSi turns out to be able to play Quake 2(as current DS only can with ram pack), have better browsers and more emulators… That’s like the only scenario I would consider buying it.

I’m still on the phat DS. That thing is built like a tank, I love it.

qft. but after reading a bit more about the dsi, i might think about it.

i treasure my red ds lite myself, i said i wouldn’t get dsi but i know i probably will in the long run. I said the same thing about DS lite when it got annouced.

Haha, same here.

After getting a 360 recently though, I don’t think I’ll be getting another console anytime soon - so I’ll probably miss the DSi for a while. DSware seems to have potential, though.

If anyone’s interested in buying it at Amazon, there’s currently a promo where you can buy a DSi and Rhythm Heaven w/ $10 off. Rhythm Heaven is already selling at $25.96, since you can save on shipping and tax, I’d be saving about $28 if I bought everything in store. I’d have to wait a couple more days, but I think it’ll be worth the savings.
