I know I never said anything that extreme, but I remember questioning it and thinking it may be rather overstated.DCharlie said:
And that of course means I just got fuckowned. Like really badly. Really. I mean damn. Sometimes you just have to stand up, swallow your pride, and say 'holy shit I was so fucking wrong'.
Nintendo = 1. Me = 0.
I want a DS Lite, really badly... d(^^

I am thinking of maybe switching my color to the dark blue... the more I look at it, the better it looks...
Perhaps this launch shortage might not have been such a bad thing...if Nintendo is able to create this much interest on a daily/weekly basis between now and the 11th, and then as more shipments come in, they'll get a whole lot of press for it.
I definitely want me a DS Lite, but unless my attempt at Warranty fraud works out, I can't justify the expense.

At first, the DS broke all sales records in Japan, and is the fastest selling video gaming device of all time.
Second: So the ratio Playstation to Gamecube is only 2:1?

To the people with DSL now,
Is the Speaker POP when you turn it off Fixed now or does it still pop?
Also when playing GBA at low volume is it still all crackly?

pop is reported to be gone or unapparent.

Jonnyram said:Quick impressions as I'm fairly late to work today
- audible speaker pop on power on/off is gone, or at least much less obvious
- larger touchpen feels really nice, much more professional
- interface is same and has the same DS pic on the menu where you choose which screen you want GBA games on
- d-pad and buttons feel great, firm but not clicky
- plastic coating attracts fingerprints like the PSP
- GBA cart sticks out quite a bit, but doesn't get in the way of holding it, so it's cool
- screen brightness and contrast... :O

Thanks for that, the low volume thing really bugged me. Speaker pop was just a thing, glad it's gone though.

So is it safe to assume that it was infact a DS lite in the brief case in pulp fiction???
Those screen pics look amazing, I want one now! I was meaning to replay Castlevania DoS again, but now I want to wait for the DS lite to play it. :lol
I wish Nintendo reduced the screen size like the micro to get the razor sharp picture, but because of the touch screen and it's sensitivity I doubt it will happen. DS Lite still looks amazing.

LOL, I don't know if it was intentional but I like that it's a Philips cd-i movie box you used there.
Nice little bit of Nintendo relation there.

I know some guy in Hong Kong who's offering me a DS Lite for just under £160. Seeing as a DS is £99 here, I think I may get it. He claims to have some to hand.
Anybody kept track of eBay for this stuff? I wouldn't mind knowing how much Lite's are going for, so I can decide whether to keep my Play Asia order as well and hopefully make the difference back when that one finally comes.

Ehm....Valkirie Profile can be a good game, but it remains a port...
Ehm....I agree with you that the PSP has some good game (more in USA & Europe than Japan), but the DS has a TON of good games, and another TON of AAA games will come in the future.
Mario Kart DS, Nintendogs, Castlevania, Kirby, Brain Training Series, Animal Crossing, Mario & Luigi 2, Advance Wars, Jump Superstar, and many many more and if we doens't count what we will have in the future:
Children of Mana, Final Fantasy III, Super Mario Bros. 4, Pokémon Diamand & Pearl, Metroid Prime Hunters, and a ton of A-AAA RPG, and another ton of good games.
And at E3 we will see sure more more games.
Well I think that you must understand that:
"It is not all gold what make light, and it is not all shit what it does not appeal to !!!"
that's a great admarc^o^ said:
in a bit of news from nintendo inside it looks like (babelfish) the total shipment of navy and ice blue ds lites on sat 11th will be more than the platinum white launch (but each colour will be less).
from the various reports the white launch had 80-100k.

And I'm looking forward to your report about the DS Lite-launch that will be published in RESET #13. Is it any different from the one you wrote here on GAF?

Cheebs said:I know. We had PSP ones and DS lite was brighter. MAF even admited it. That is why I said that.
Here is the image
That really isn't a fair comparison. The only way you can get full brightness on the PSP is to use the AC adapter to plug it into an outlet. When you use the battery only, no matter if it is fully charged or not, you wont' ever get the full brightness. PSP is designed to get full brightness only when you use the AC adapter and plug it into an outlet. It would have been more fair to compare the PSP's full brightness while it was plugged up with the AC adapter to the Nintendo DS Lite's highest brightness setting. The PSP screen would most likely be brighter.
