I haven't bought one yet, but I've heard they're gonna be *the* toy this year for christmas, supposedly all the stores had sold out their pre-orders, and Nintendo's only got 2 million of them ready to go worldwide, with another 2 million coming in the first 3 months of next year.  Supposedly, the games themselves are expected to sell out in many places this first week, so it'll be interesting to see what happens between now and Christmas.  If you've got one, or want one, and if you want some of the launch games (6 as of today), you'd better buy quick, they'll probably be hard to find until February or so.

That's a very good idea. I remember when tickle me Elmo came out. My friend worked at Wal Mart at the time and bought like 10 of them. He made a few grand selling them all.

iM LOVIN' IT


it sucks because I didnt buy a game so im just playing the metroid demo but just holding it and messing with it is fun the graphics are like late PS1 early ps2 games.  Metroid is tight so I reserved one for the release in March it is big when its closed but when it opens and the two screens light up it actually feels so much smaller first game i am going to buy will be Mario 64 DS.

also the lady at the gamestop where I bought mine said they are expecting another shpiment for ssale after thanksgiving which I highly doubt, doesnt seem like any of the people there know what they are talking about
fags.

Metroid (and Zelda) is/are the reason/s I always bought and probably always will buy Nintendo consoles...  but not too sure about the DS... I´m not into the handhelds...

I went to Toys R Us tonight, the DS was sold out, but they still had games left.  I went to Best Buy, and they had DS's left, but were sold out of Mario games.  So it looks like it's gonna do pretty good.
