If only that phone could make its way to the good ol usa on a plan of course for a reduced price. I doubt that phone will work on the at&t network. Will it?

well the phone will work in the U.S no AT&T since it's "Quad band", but 3G/HSDPA will not since the U.S uses a different frequency for 3G/HSDPA.

the original N95 just got released in the U.S btw so you might wanna check it out.

Played two full matches and I've been defeated both times (against cpu).
I'm still very early, just checking out the various features and getting myself aquainted with the whole game and cards (downloading replays from top players and checking what they're doing..etc). I have had a grin across my face the whole time.

Just noticed yer queston re: crimson DS

I picked that up around the time that the NON-BUNDLED ones were just hitting Gamestops. However... they've been available on amazon since day 1, I believe (picked mine up in the Hamptons... NY).

Having not had a DS before... I have nothing to compare it to. Regardless... I am impressed. The games are very clear (esp. at night)... but also very viewable in heavy light as well.... I mean... I won't be playing it in heavy light but... it's good to know I won't be squinting in order to get a good view of the game.

Top screen is clearer (obviously)... but if I keep the bottom screen clean and I don't pound it like a small child might.. I can't imagine it staying that much duller than the top.

On a different note... I'm happy I got the Crimson version. It's different... when I took it out of the book it was very eye catching (cause I was thinking it would be RED... but... Crimson is a VERY excellent description of the color)... and when kept clear of fingerprints... it shines really nicely. Again... I'm not taking it out very much (if not at all)... but for my own enjoyment it's just fine :)

I used to have the big DS from around launch but sold it due to losing interest. Now I just got a DSL for 30 dollars a couple days ago. I am liking it much more this time around. Picked up FF3 to commemorate my purchase.

nice toys :D
I think i saw those plushes at FYE but i usually get those kinda things in chinatown in ny.

Congrats to everyone who got those the HD-DVD. Amazon has it for 179 w/heroes as well but w/o the 2 free movies. Some people have pricematched successfully with Circuit City. I picked up transformers and 300 ;). I heard its in the system now at BB so you should just be able to pick up the movies, heroes and the drive and take it to the counter. Too bad my 360 is red ringed! ugh

That was the main reason why I didn't pick up a DS way back when it launched... just looked way too bulky.

This one is VERY manageable... my only complaint is when I play Mario Kart... my right thumb cramps a bit from holding down the (A?) button. It's a "little" tight... but... defintely manageable.

And... yah... it's a much more attractive machine in it's LITE version.

Thanks for the info. I have started research on different breeds of pups... So far the puggle and the yorkie are my two favorites for baby pups.

Decided to finally post a pickup. Had to get those trigun boxsets... I LOVE TRIGUN. Barnes and Noble dented the tin can a little but since it is their final copy I cant argue. Plus Geneon is closing up shop and I needed to get them before they would cost me 150+ on ebay. Oh yeah. HELLSING ULTIMATE III rocks... Mr. Anderson figurine FTW.

By the way, if I go back to bestbuy will they give me the other two DVD's I did not recieve on Sunday or should I call corporate first and go get them?
