I went through my massive pile of DS games, and did some serious culling of the herd. Unbeknownst to me, EB is have a trade-in promo. End result: $171 in store credit for games that were sitting on my living room floor, collecting crud.
I win.
I win so hard.

I’m thinking of buying a DS. Do you recommend?
Oh my stars, yes. I adore my DS. It is a very, very good time. Get one! :D
DS = teh good!
Catch: I use mine on transit almost exclusively, which makes the Mario game and the Zelda game The Suck, because they only save at specific points. This SUCKS. I need to be able to stop at any point and save and get off the bus and go Do Stuff. I hate doing the pause & close thing, because then I leave it for a week and lose my game anyway.
However, Mario Kart is awesome. I LOVE Mario Kart. I don’t care if I’m not done my grand prix, because … whatever. Grand prix. *turns DS off and goes to Do Stuff*
I want to get Brain Age, too. Because I’m a giant nerd and I want to exercise my brain AND my thumbs.
