I am becoming a consumer whore...

I really don't care for the PSP.  The new Nintendo DS Lite Console...  OMG, it's so hot and compact and blue and pretty and shiny...and goddamn EXPENSIVE! (Still not as expensive as the PSP)  Man, I think I want to sell my current one for one of these babies... Dude, I would kill for one that comes in a dark magenta/purple to match my frames...

When is this going to get ported to the US?  *says the girl that still hasn't finished Xenogears*

I must be a dork for still wanting this.

And Scholastic decided to just call me about the internship a few minutes ago.  OMGWTFBBQ!  Dude, that's like 2 months late.  I think she was trying to interview me over the phone, but I came clean and said I already had another job offer since they didn't get back to me when they claimed they would.

I know, the DS Lite is so nice *__* I'm gonna get one this fall in order to get Final Fantasy III DS. But watch, like, a year later, they come out with yet another DS (the DS Nano!) or something like that. That's the thing about Nintendo's handhelds, you gotta be careful with 'em, 'cause they keep coming out with improvements (whether an improvement on the current model or a completely new one) to surprise you. I'm saving up for one of those :3

And while I don't care as much about the PSP... it has a few games that I can't ignore >.> Like Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth and FF7: Crisis Core.

But the New Super Mario Brothers, Children of Mana, and FFIII should keep me busy enough that I don't fret too much :p You should get one!

I'm thinking I'll be making enough this summer to spoil myself with the new Lite come June. Or at least I hope. I can definitely wait for the $130US release instead of getting it at the current $240. Nintendo does rule the handheld front for a reason...

While Crisis Core is definitely tempting and awesome, I couldn't part with that much money for a PSP and that one game.

Phoenix Wright owns my soul. Who the fuck knew a lawyer sim game could be so awesome! >.< I highly recommend it! I'm still being constantly thwarted by the surgery game (Trauma Center) so that'll take me a long while to beat...

I've already got my DS Lite reserved at Gamestop. $25.00 down and the balance when I pick up. June 11th!!!

I have a regular DS, which is nice.. but.. it is heavy, and the backlighting is just too dim.. atleast compared to the DS Lite and the new version of the Gameboy SP. So the hubby can have that one.. or if he wants we can trade that one in for 2 DS Lites :>

Plus I doubt they will get any smaller... as it is any GBA games are going to stick out a bit when you play them.. unlike now where they are flush.

PSP.. imho.. not worth it. Nintendo has been the king of handhelds for so long. And the PSP while watching movies would be kind of cool.. it is too expensive for my tastes.. plus I got too many GBA and DS games :)

Cheers!

But the initial release of the Lite in the US is only in white right? I think I'm going to wait until more colors are available, like that hot navy in the link.

True.. it is the Glacier White or something like that.
Well... I get the white one now.. then when the hubby decides he wants a Lite maybe a few more colors will be out. :)
