I called my local Gamestop, and it's the same price in store.
Thanks! I got $11 back (@*#&$ Best Buy said I could either have the $5 coupon or the pricematch but not both, I thought I was going to get $15 back because I paid $35-$5 coupon but since I only paid $30 irregardless of the price, they would only pricematch. Oh well at least I got money back.

Definitely worth $20. I like the game quite a bit, but it needed a price drop.

I'd been waiting for it. For anyone with doubts: the stylus does make a HUGE difference for the better.

I don't own a DS but I saw some news today that Metroid Prime Hunters would be fully online for the DS with deathmatches and clans and all that. Pretty exciting news for DS owners.

I was hoping this was the reason for it getting released late in the year. Probably not a game I will get, but definitley a game many people are looking forward to.

I'm looking forward to Metroid: Hunters and Goldeneye as well. FPS's will have better controls on the DS due to it's touch screen. Coded Arms is gonna have all kinds of control problems. Polarium will be the next game to make me put down my PSP though.

Thanks for the info on Zookeeper...I'll probably pick it up tomorrow at that price. Been wanting it for a while, but I just couldn't see myself paying $35-40 for a freakin puzzle game.


EDIT: picked the game up at Best Buy today. It was 19.99 there, and I got to use a gamer gift card coupon....taking it down to 14.99 before tax.

I got the GBA Advance Player from Lik-Sang and I LOVE IT. While my memory stick comes back in stock I'm transferring all my video. It states it doesn't take 2 giggers but my 2 gig CF ($140) works great.

It has better battery life also so I'll probably use the DS or the GBA SP for movies and the PSP for Lumines.

Castlevania looks great!

Though the stylus stuff will probably just end up being annoying.

Yes there are jaggies (pixellation) and the PSP IS better, but it's pretty good for $30
I wanted to show how quickly you can go from the GBA SP off to it playing a video. The thing is FAST.

Will it work on the DS or only the SP? GBA games look a good deal better on the DS screen, so movies probably would as well.

What does it mean by "Plays FC Games"? Famicom? Because that would be cool.

It works on both the DS and the GBA/SP.
As far as the games, none of that talk here. But you can easily find it on the internet.

Please note: There were many changes from the old one to this one (this is the newer model, the older model was black and bulkier). When reading info, make sure you are not reading outdated info (Lik-sang's info is outdated, for one, it stated 2 giggers were not supported, and they are).

It wasn't a piracy question, I was just asking what FC stood for.

From your response though, I'll take that to mean yes.

So is that the player that Nintendo worked on, or is it third party? I didn't think Nintendo's was ready to roll yet.

I just picked up the new Nintendo DS catalog at Blockbuster. Project Code: Metroid Pinball looks SO good-the DS is the perfect platform for a good pinball game.
