Anyone got one? As much as I love the whole interactive quality of the Wii, I'd rather choose between the 360 or PS3, but Im very tempted by what the DS has to offer. Looking to pick up the new Zelda as a nice bit of kit to keep me entertained while travelling. Thoughts would be appreciated.

I have one and I used to love it but I hardly have played it since I got a Wii at Christmas. There are some great games for it as well, and the new Zelda for it is supposed to be amazing. If you travel a lot they are definitely worth it.

Yeah, I reckon it'll get ditched when I decide on the console to go for, but if that's the PS3, I might just wait till MGS4 etc come out so I'll still get plenty of use out of it.

I only really play Final Fantasy 3 and Resi Evil on mine.

Looking forward to Zelda, too!

s'all true. the ds is great.
it's also really good for simple games too, such as picross and that 42-in-1 collection of card and board games.

The place I bought my DS 365games.com has got it in stock. Should be shipped today.

I must admit, those stupid brain game ads got me interested in the DS first. I like how they're doing something different than trying to port games across from the consoles. I mean what's the point?

Its better than Twilight Princess, and more fun than Wind Waker with its annoying having to change direction every couple of minutes.

I've got one which I take to work with me on the train, but I don't really play it that much.

I got bored of Brain Training.
Finished New Super Mario Brothers
Playing Final Fantasy 3 but I stopped playing it.
Have this Animal Crossing game but its so pointless I couldnt be bothered with that either.

I think I might get the new Zelda game, but I've read that its not very challenging.

It might end up being a bit basic, but I reckon, at least at the moment, there's more chance of me picking up a DS than there is of me setting up and then playing a console on a regular basis. Especially as so many new games seem primed for online gaming. I'm a bit anti-social when it comes to gaming, and far happier with single player.
