Upgraded about a month ago. Now I've got Electroplankton hooked up to my receiver, it sounds great in 7-channel stereo! ![LOL](/images/smilies/lol.gif)
Looks like right now the upgraders are just about matching the newcomers.

I'll get a DS Lite the first chance I get to find one cheap or bundled. It'll be my first Nintendo purchase since I traded in a GBA for a GBA SP. I was going to trade in the SP, but will probably give it to my daughter instead.

So... it outputs in 6.1?
I don't believe that for a minute.

I've bought two DSs before my Lite, both as gifts. I waited because I didn't like the form factor or complaints over past handhelds. I'd own a PSP if it was in the same price range. There's plenty of games on the PSP I would like to play (now).

Im now looking for a sweet deal on a DS. I will be doing a lot of long distance traveling soon, and the DS sounds like something id like to give a shot. My phone plays NES games well, but it eats up a lot of juice, so ill just get the ds lite instead.

I'm not sure if it's age (awful lot of posts from people driving out to check stores etc.), I think it's also just that there are more hardcore gamers there since it is a gaming site, and that it's a deal site so theres more people that buy every console and tons of games both because they're more hardcore as a whole and they buy shit just because it's a good deal.
Where as this is a game forum on a DVD site, so a lot of people who post here (myself included) are more casual gamers who are more into movies etc.
But who knows for sure.

The $70.00 at EB/Gamestop ends today. It's really a $50.00 trade but they're giving and extra $20.00. I traded in my old DS and transferred my Wifi settings and traded in my PSP for $130.00 including the extra 20.

I will be a new customer if I get one (I think I will).
BTW, how is the DS for left-handers? Are there games that require you to use the stylus with your right hand because you need access to the D-pad?

i.e. in Metroid for left handers you'll use the 4 face buttons as your d-pad with your right hand and stylus in your left.
