Haven't shared this with some of you...but about 2 months ago I lost my DS lite and cannot find it...so, after much debate (and checking my wallet) I've decided to buy another one (Black preferrely since my first one was white)

So, let there this be a lesson for you kiddies...to be careless DOESN'T PAID!

Instead, you pay more.

my mates kid got her ds (old model) stolen while she was shopping in ikea but I guess they got worried as they left it in the store and someone handed it in.

then it broke and they took it back to the store that she bought it from and because it was the old ds and that model was not being made anymore the guy upgraded to a ds lite for just £10!! 😱

I haven't lost anything of mine yet... I keep it all in my dslite bag I bought from ebay.
and I hope I never lose that cause like Lana, I'd also lose everything, and I can't afford to buy another ❌

what are you all mostly playing at the moment?

Phoenix Wright: Justice For All and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.

Portrait of Ruin as well for me, nearly done with it I think.

i need some serious suggestions...i havent played any in a while....and because i am on my third ds lite (first one cracked like i said earlier, the second one was thrown in the toilet after my boyfriend caught a jealous rage...and believe me it suxs...i am sooo poor and to dish out cash for a third one really hurt my heart and purse almost considered not getting another one.)
anyhow... the only game i have actually retained is princess peach and a few others so...any suggestions?
FYI: lana as for the decal girl skin i jyst ordered this one

I was playin the Mario game...my DS was fairly new so I didn't had a large library yet. I was considering picking up age of empires...but that's when I lost mine.

[update]
After visiting 3 different Best Buys and 2 Fry's Electronics and my local Gamestop....I couldn't find a DS lite. No black Onyx. Ony pink available.

I'll keep searching....

Yeah. I was in the store the other day and surprised to see no DS's available at all. I was shocked.

When did it get like this? I use to see them all the time.

It's been like that since about...the first week of December.

What could have caused this upsurge in the demand for Nintendo DS's?

Do they even make the original DS's anymore.

Whenever I get a DS Lite, I still plan on keeping my Original DS because I'd like to keep it in my collection (Who would I give/sell it to anyway?) and because of sentimental value.

Quite simple, Innerrise.

Wii's are popular and hard to find, people who wanted a Wii but couldn't find one found out that Nintendo makes another system with a similar gimmick/style that is available for cheap, they all bought it since they couldn't find a Wii.

Thus, no more DS's are available.

I don't believe they make the original DS's anymore considering everyone seems to want the DS lite.

I would have to say the upsurge of demand for DS's would have to do with the Pokemon games that's coming out for it in April. That's my only guess.

Except the sudden high demand started long before most people were aware of new Pokemon games.

It just really became wildly popular this past holiday season - not that they weren't already, but even moreso, and probably a lot more than most people would have thought.

Strangely enough....Gamestop and EB Games are not taking orders for any DS lites....well, at least local ones aren't....hmm

I would have thought the demand for Nintendo DS's would have died down by now, especially since Christmas was 4 months ago. 😬

I guess it took the Nintendo Wii to be released to bring to light the Wonderfulness of the Nintendo DS.....maybe. 😬

I still have no idea when I'll get a Nintendo DS Lite if ever. By the time I decide to get it Nintendo will probably be coming out with the next Generation HandHeld.

I really see no need to buy another Handheld that does the same thing that my current one does but with brighter light.

I still want one though. glare

Updating the thread.

VG Chartz is reporting that the DS have now reach the estimate number of 40 millions sold World Wide! 😱

I'm still without my DS Black Onyx. 😒

Do you have a Nintendo DS at all?

anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

They're getting easier to find now.

I can't get the one I want. There is no waiting list for them....I'll have to settle for the white DS. Darn! It really eats me alive that I lost my first one.

Really?

I was amused the other day because at my store we actually had more pink and black DSs than white 😛 which annoys me because I wanted a pink one, damnit...

I've tried all three major video game retaliers (EB games, Gamestop, Gamecrazy) and no luck. Mind you I'm a stubborn dwarf.

Just bought a black Lite. 😄

I'm excited.
