    This is for sure gonna be a classic!
    i'm pretty sure most of the people have already purchased one, but if you still haven't bought one, what are you waiting for?? Maybe it is a little bit pricey... but here's an idea. Shop at Shoppers and save up Optimum points, and buy a DS lite with your optimum points!!
    I'm probably going to start saving up more optimum points to get another DS. The one I currently have is a bit damaged. When you're playing with the DS, be careful not to bend the top backwards too much. I don't know how I did it, but one side of the notch chipped off, and now I need to support the top with my hand while playing my DS... ya.. ghetto... but it still operates! It's so portable, and convenient to carry around when you're going on a little trip.. or even when you have a bit of waiting time.

    As a two year DS owner, I'm happy to say that the system has provided me with hours of fun and enjoyment. I have many games for my DS, all of which I love. It is truly something that you can never get bored with. Some of my favourite games are MarioPartyDS, Diddy Kong Racing, and Brain Age. I mostly use my DS when I am in the car on a road trip, on a plane, or even at night just before I go to bed. The price is quite reasonable. The only thing I wish it had that it doesn't is internet capabilities, which the new verson does.

    A Nintendo DS sure looks like fun. I guess at first it was fun at first but later on it got boring. There aree many games tht you can play with a DS. I still reccomend this to those gamers out there.

    I have to have my DS with me when I travel! It's a MUST if I'm flying! It kills time while waiting to board a flight and if I'm not interested in reading a mag, I love taking out my DS and playing Sudoku, Super Mario Bros, Sims, Brain Age, and Brain Challenge! I also have to say I get a kick out of hearing kids say, 'mom that lady has a DS'! There are so many DS games to choose from so you won't be hard pressed to find something that appeals to your taste. The cost of the DS is roughly $130-$140 though they are sometimes on sale for as low as $120, you just have to keep an eye out for the sales.

    I love My Ds that my fiance bought for me. though I have the older model from two yrs ago We still bring it every where! It nice and compact and the battery life last pretty long! I also recently bought a ds tt from a friend at work and now I can simply download games on and off anytime I want. and depending on your memory card you could put lots of games on there without having to lug around game cases everywhere! Trust me you could never be to old for games!

    Hmm... this is my best friend when i travel. I move back and forth from uni and home...so when i take the bus...im on my ds. There are a lot of games, and with the touch screen interaction ... even me, who's a really horrible gaming...can play and have fun. There are endless games on this so you'll never get bored. I also love how you can play against other players....my favorite is tetris and mario cart. I compete against my friends and i love it. I definitely recommend it! I also keep it in my purse!

    I think this is a wonderful game system. It has a wide range of games to purchase for it. I bought them for my children and they enjoy them more than a home game system. They can take them on car rides, use them while waiting at appointments, anywhere you want something to keep them entertained. Every now and then I play with one of theirs.

    I was a little skeptical at first since I am not really that in to video games but I had seen the commercials. I had also recently read an article about boosting your brainpower through crossword puzzles and things such as Soduku. I happened to get a Best Buy gift certificate for my birthday and I thought, "Perfect. I will jump in feet first to the video game world." So I did and $200 later (yeah this thing with a few games will set you back) I am the proud owner of a Nintendo DS Lite.

    The games are pretty easy to play for the most part but a few have gotten me caught up causing me to restart. I am not a direction reader and prefer to learn by doing. That is not always easy when it comes to the DS Lite games. I had to do a little reading but it was quick and then I was off.

    I play Soduku daily, do a few crossword puzzles and play Brain Age which is incredibly fun although sometimes humbling. I do often have to fight my children to play with it because they love it too.

    There are several recipe programs which are fun and a Spanish language disk that I am working on now. I love it! The price is a little overwhelming and the games seem a little high sometimes but I am otherwise pleased with my purchase.
