@bleiss "I'm glad nintendo is finally entering this gen" is hardly what I would call impartial. It's more along the lines of just disliking Nintendo because they had tremendous success by catering to more than just the gaming nerds and losers.

@AceUnbound Well, Sony openly used the DVD format, and Nintendo also used it. So your argument doesn't have many legs. Not to mention that Blu-ray was developed by more than just Sony, and that Sony doesn't "own" the format. Sony was just the biggest backer of it. That doesn't mean the competition won't use it when it's clearly better than any other optical media out there that is available for consumer electronics. Using Blu-ray is hardly endorsing Sony. The only people that associate Sony with Blu-ray are the tech nerds, and they often mistakenly thin that Sony owns and controls the format (it's 2011, honestly catch up on the facts). It's not like Nintendo will be using MemorySticks or MiniDiscs.

@shoop008 Who said the buttons were on the touch screen?

@erockfitz No. The DS number is for the US only. North America includes the US, Canada, Mexico, and those Tourist traps in the Caribbean.

So for US sales, the DS is number one. It's probably number one for North America too if those numbers were available.

@182 They didn't.

@Volcon I was told by customer service that if the old machine was tied to my Club Nintendo account, and I had to replace it, if I tied the new console to the same account, I would be able to download all my games again. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but it makes sense.

Amazon in Canada sucks compared to Amazon in the US. :(. We never get these kinds of deals.

I love that Nintendo does this kind of thing. Most of these are very fascinating.

Man, that blue DS Lite is sexy. I am glad I still have a new unopened one in my closet, even though it's too small compared to my XL.

@darkinchworm : I like Crecente as well. It's the rest of them I could do without. Especially Plunkett. He's quite immature with his article "trolling".
