Ok, just like my other thread, would you pay $150 for a DS? Keep it simple. Yes or No? And please keep discussions to a minimum.

I'll go first:

No. I can't even remember the last time I touched my SP and I even bought the original GBA and then subsequently upgraded to the SP. Goddamn........

 

[skip]

yup.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Yes. It comes with a game, even tho it is just a demo.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Of course.

 

[Deku Tree]

Depends on the games, but probably yes.

 

[olimario]

Yes.
Especially with pictochat and hunters.

 

[Insertia]

no
I haven't seen any games to justfy the price and a portable n64...not for $150.

 

[DrM]

yes

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Yes, at half the price of a psp oh Hell YEAH

 

[CrisKre]

Yes (if I wasn't getting one for free that is )

I liked what I played of it, and the list of games comming (plus Wario Ware DS and the potential Advance Wars need to be mine)

 

[Goreomedy]

No.

Not until I see some more software, and proof that SOMEONE will take advantage of wireless online play.

 

[B'z-chan]

PIctochat sounds really cool. I'm looking forward to it, but not at 50 bucks. Though on the other hand i'm buying one of these DS's cause i dont know it kicks my ass and i like it.

 

[Baron Aloha]

No.

 

[UbiSoftologist]

Yes.

 

[bobbyconover]

Yes.

 

[Link316]

nope cause I rarely use my GBA and a SP's only $79

 

[SolidSnakex]

No.

Not until I see some more software, and proof that SOMEONE will take advantage of wireless online play.

That's my stance on it right now.

 

[Trevelyon]

$150 AUD

Yepers!

$299 AUD

Nopers!

Heck... the SP only just hit $149 over here.

 

[Falch]

Depends on the games, but probably yes.

Same.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Not if the games are $50. No matter how much I want it.

 

[GermanOfficer]

Yes I certainly will buy a DS.
Even if there will be only one Fire Emblem game for the DS the 150 bucks are well spent

And I like the WLAN idea

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Hell yeah! I haven't cared about handhelds in a loooong time. I've been against the GBA generation of them since I first played it. I just didn't think it was a big enough leap from the Gameboy Color for my taste and I really didn't have much use for a handheld. But this generation of the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP really has interested...I need both, they are "Le Sex."

I'll pay $150 for the DS and $300 for the PSP, bring it on! I need some little gadgets.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

No, handheld gaming is a fad.

 

[shpankey]

No. I am VERY tempted (mostly for Madden), but GT4 on PSP just makes me it's bitch, so I will wait for PSP.

However, I will be buying one for my daughter, who loves Nintendo and has already told me I am to get her a DS for her birthday (which is in November).

So I guess yes and no.

I don't like the double screen concept (as well as the small screen sizes) and the control scheme + stylus is a turn-off. If it was designed like a traditional handheld with a single large screen, it would be a better deal than PSP in every way. As it is I have no interest in it.

[that means no]

 

[FoneBone]

No -- not until more info is released on the game lineup.

 

[kaching]

Yes.

 

[DSN2K]

yes.

 

[AirBrian]

Yes.

 

[Shiggy]

Yes

 

[Spazbiohaz]

Yes. Touch screen and Internet gaming for 150 I'm there.

[that means no]

So less screens and no touch screen = purchase?
I don't understand.

 

[Banjo Tango]

Ja. (Wanted to make sure there was some Swedish in this thread as well).

 

[Spiritreaver]

Yep, I have no reason to think otherwise.

 

[funcojoe]

Nope.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

No.

Not until I see some more software, and proof that SOMEONE will take advantage of wireless online play.

IAWTP.

 

[Miburou]

Hell no. Maybe if it were GBA2.

 

[heavy liquid]

Yes.

 

[CrisKre]

So far it clocks in arround:

Yes 24

No 12

 

[sohka88]

Nope. I think nintendo is screwing people with this HW.

I would not pay $300 for the psp either.

 

[SantaC]

yes

 

[jiggle]

nope

 

[duderon]

Yup.

 

[Cloudy]

Umm, no....

 

[shibbs]

Yes.

 

[SaitoH]

Add a game, sales tax, exchange currency to Canadian dollars, and I'm looking at close to $270 ... way too much for a portable.

 

[Drexon]

No.

Not until I see some more software, and proof that SOMEONE will take advantage of wireless online play.

 

[SpoonyBard]

Most likely yes.

 

[Dram]

No

 

[SKluck]

Negative. I will never pay more than $200 for a console and I won't be buying another portable ever. GBA was the last.
