For those interested, BBA for $12.99 is today's Amazon DOTD. Some DOTDs drop further in price throughout the day, others do not.

Maybe he meant "EBA" ... Elite Beat Agents ... but it doesn't look like that's today's DOTD ...

Edit: ... Nvm, the post above appeared while I was replying ...

I've never considered double dipping on the DS since I started with the lite, but this new one is sweet. Red/Black DS Lite

I know. Unfortunately my son has dibs on the next DS since he is still using a phat. He wants that one if it comes to the US as well as Canada.

Alright just got a ds lite, and I have two questions

1. anyone know where to get a good ds lite case? like in a store, I don't want to have to buy one online.

2. I heard that there was like a thumb nub that you would use for metroid primes controls, instead of using the stylus. I haven't seen any pictures of this and was wondering if that was true.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that only came with the older DS, not the DS Lite. At least I don't remember seeing one when getting my Lite.

that thumb nub was on the wrist strap of the Fat Ds. it was a black plastic thing that you could tighten around your thumb so it wouldn't fall off.

i never liked the thing, but i heard some found it useful when playing metroid hunters

I thought a month or two back i had seen where they were coming out with a bendable stylus that you could twist around your thumb to create a nub or to use like a regular stylus. It didn't interest me so i didn't pay too much attention to the release but it might be something you could look up.

my brother in law got 2 of those when he got his DS lite. They really are completely bendable and customizeable. I'd say its a superior alternative, though I don't believe it would fit in the stylus slot on a DS lite

If you want a play through case I can't recommend the Nerf one highly enough. It adds bulk to the DS, but I find it a lot more comfortable to hold and use for long sessions now and if you drop it you have a pretty nice case to protect it.

Common Sense Training? Never heard of that one. English Training? These aren't US titles right?

Also surprised to not see Metriod Prime Hunters on that list.
