Let SteelAttack massage his ass with it?
That's got to render it toxic and thus a biohazard risk right?
It is the original red DS and if it's breakable I haven't seen it. I threw it at a concrete block yesterday and the only thing that happened was a smal crack . . in the concrete.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileI have a plan. Throw you DS Phat against the original Gameboy. It would be like the unstoppable force against the immovable object. Do not do it at home, the forces released would destroy it.
personally i was pretty sure i was going to get one despite owning one each of phat and ds until i heard the price. i mean, i know it is more of a new handheld than a silly facelift and that it is more of an upgrade than it first appeared to be but still i think nintendo should just bite the bullet and sell it at the current DS price (after all it was released in 2005 and the price hasn't gone down a cent since). so i think i will get one eventually but the price makes it far less the impulse buy it would have otherwise been

Yeah that's probably what I'll be doing. The red brick officially becomes the boy's and I'll pick up a nice new DSi at some point. It'll be a little hard to convince my wife since technically it was a gift and she has a thing about me not keeping her gifts forever, but I'm sure she'll come around.
Plus the reality is, I probably won't pick up a DSi till the summer so the boy has plenty of time to break it until then.
I'll be buying at least one more DS Lite b4 the DSi takes over. I like having GBA capability more than having a .0004 megapixel camera.
Iga -- great poster.
I would like to buy a DSi. Not at launch mind you, but at some point before the holiday season. It's a nifty little device, and if all the VC options for it are true, it should be quite fun to play. Especially if it will use its WiFi to work in place of those old hook-up cables for multiplayer games.
But all that is neither here nor there. You see, right now this would be a very hard sell. In 2005 my wife got me a DS bundle with Mario Kart for Xmas. The big red one. Wonderful gift. I had oodles of fun with Mario Kart DS and until I got the Wii last year it was my primary gaming device.
However it's a big red brick and it has the old screen so I'd like to update to the newer model, particularly since I never bought a DS Lite. But this is a hard sell around here. It still works just fine so I can't just toss it aside you know? So to get around that I formed a brilliant plan. . . get the 2 year old involved. My boy can break anything. He's a two year old boy, that's what they do. Hence that's why he's been playing the DS and those dumb cat games (he's since moved on to Kart now because he likes Yoshi).
But it hasn't worked. He now considers the DS his and spends time with it every day, which invitably involes it getting dropped onto the floor at least once. Sometimes slammed on the floor. But the damn thing won't break.
DAMN YOU NINTENDO FOR MAKING A DURABLE PRODUCT!!!!!!
And if anything the kid is starting to handle it better and not be so rough with it. It's never going to break at this rate. . . crap. I need a new plan.
