Damn it! Now I wish I hadn't ordered it online, now I have to wait for it to arrive in the mail, when I could go to Oxford Street T_T. Although ordering it also means there is a possibility that it could arrive a day early... or a day late >.< ___________________  |

Hehe, nice idea, I mighta gone for it down in Oxford St had I not got my VIP pack 4 weeks ago. Be nice to be able to finally pick games off of the shelf - haven't bothered importing, just played Mario 64 DS and the 2 demos, along with a few GBA games. |

Lucky UK bastards ___________________ I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. -Thomas Jefferson, |

From what I've seen so far, Nintendo is actually the only one of the big 3 consoles that actually seems to pay attention to Europe customers. After complaining about Europe releases etc they noticed and got us Zelda: Minish Cap before it hit the US. Too bad that probably won't happen again with a game any time soon  ___________________ |

That's a cool thing Nintendo arranged for that one lucky person. But I count myself lucky that it'll be my birthday next week, and that the week (and a half) after that, the beautiful white DS will be shipped to my house, which will be paid with my birthday money... I've waited this long, I can wait a few more weeks longer. |
