I have a Nintendo DS in my house but I can't play it

My wife bought me a DS today, but apparently it is being considered a "Christmas Present".

She has basically threatened me with castration if I attempt to get it out of the closet and play it.

But, she is gone for the night at her mothers and I am seriously thinking about maybe taking it out to see if it works properly. (I wouldn't want to be disappointed on Christmas if it was broken so I think I should test it.)
 
If she's wrapped it, don't even try. She'll know.

In fact, even if it isn't wrapped, don't do it. She'll pick up on your lack of frustration and know that you've played it. She's a woman - thats what she does.
 
It's not wrapped.
I didn't think about her noticing that I wasn't complaining about waiting. But, maybe I'll play it and be so excited that the waiting will be exponentially worse.
 
But what if it does have dead pixels? Then he'll know about it without being able to say anything about it.
 
I can imagine how me trying to check for dead pixels would play out:

(I'm sitting in the corner of the bathroom enjoying a quick Metroid game and my wife walks in)

Wife: What are you doing?
Me: uh, nothing
Wife: Wait, what is that big bulky gray thing you are hiding in the corner?
Me: I'm just testing for dead pixels
Wife: Pixels won't be the only dead thing in this room when I'm through with you.

(at this point I throw the stylus in her direction to distract her and run from the bathroom to avoid the castration)
 
:lol @ this thread. Be a man! Open up the DS! Then when your wife gets home, you can (and probably, WILL) stop being a man. But, hey, you'd have a DS!
 
How common are dead pixels on the DS? I know that LCDs have a very low yield, but companies are pretty good about sorting that out and I haven't seen too many devices make it to retail with serious dead pixel issues.

I've heard a whole lot of complaining here, though, so I'm wondering if the problem is a bit more widespread...

Well, such is the GAF way to blow things out of proportion, you know. And I mean how "serious" is one pixel really to most people?
But Nintendo is replacing DS systems that have even one dead pixel, and from what I read, that's pretty good.
 
Ok, you're the man and she's the woman. YOU'RE in control; don't let that bitch tell you what to do. Bust out the DS and have a great time playing it. If she catches you, tell her you're a man and you can do whatever the hell you please. Then whip out your cock and make her suck on it just so she remembers her place. Then play some more DS.
 
My girlfriend bought me one for Christmas as well. But last night I had to break it out to check for dead pixels. I couldn't take the thought of it being broken come Christmas morning!

My results were mixed. There seems to be a dead pixel just below the center of the top screen. It's not black or white though, maybe a light blue color. I can see it when I really, really look for it on the Prime title screen. But during actual gameplay I can't notice it at all. At least, not it the Metroid games I tried out. Maybe it'll be more spottable during a game like Advance Wars or Fire Emblem, with more stactic screens? I'm not sure if I should bother returning it or not.

Well per screen, the chances of getting a dead pixel are probably about as good as the GBA-SP. However, since the DS has 2 screens -- you effectivly double your chances of getting a dead pixel. Hence why more people tend to be getting dead pixels.
 
Haha what a great thread. The dead pixel thingy is a great excuse to open it up and check it out. Just make sure the wifey knows what you're doing otherwise you'll ruin Christmas! :lol
 
Dude, don't open it, Anticipation will only make it sweeter come Christmas day. Also on you'll be jumping around giddy with excitement come Christmas Eve and how many long years has it been since you've experienced THAT hmmm?
 
what difference does it make if you play it now, or wait until dec 25th? Especially sinc eyou know what it is already... lol... :lol
i don't get people. but that's just me.

Go buy one, use it, and return the unopened one when she gives it to you.

I do this all the time, but you have to be sneaky so that she doesnt make you open it right then and there. Run out of the room as soon as you unwrap it.

She went to the store and the computer said they had 4 in stock. After 40 minutes of trying to find them they turned up horded in the managers office.

But then again demi, you might be right.

What? You mean I'm supposed outgrow this sort of thing?
 
Just buy an N64 with Mario 64...you can probably get both at EB for like $19. You won't have to squint and the controls will be superior.
 
Don't do it. She'll know.

Besides, the box has that super-tape over the edges where it opens. You'll either have to cut the tape or rip the box when opening it.
 
Don't open it! A neighbor of mine didn't listen to his wife back when the SNES was the hot holiday item and she went through with the castration after she came home one day and caught him playing SMW. Poor Mr. Bobbit.

Oh yeah. Probably more than you'd think. Its all a big game at the end of the day.

Never mind that 'I'm the boss shit'. Everyone knows women rule the world, they just let men pretend they do.
 
Good luck sleeping on the sofa if you defy her authority! :lol


so the question to you is: "choice"

1.) wife over NDS = keep your bed ( :smiley-rock )

OR

2.) NDS over wife = sofa ( :smokin )
