I just got back from buying a Nintendo DS Lite.

Why? I dunno. I was originally repulsed by the DS and the touch screen (too many years of PocketPC’s) but it eventually tempted me, and now the Lite is 1/3 smaller… more like the SP which I liked the design of. Maybe just cuz it looks neat.

What I did do, though, was turn in my GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, and GameBoy Advance SP along with five games and two AC adapters… kept Pokémon Yellow for old time sake. Turned out being under $90 for the DS Lite and the latest generation of Super Mario Bros.

Will I sell off the PSP? Nah – it’s still the best mobile video device that I’ve got right now. That isn’t a PC, that is. The iPod screen is too small for video and I don’t think the DS can play media – besides their screen isn’t all that big either. Keep it for gaming? Why not, I guess… I just sorta miss having Mario games around to play. The touch screen stuff? Still not too kean on that, but we’ll see how it goes… games designers seem to have started to make use of it, rather than it being a gimmick thing.

*sigh* At least it’s sorta cute!
