cause there is a thing called the PSP and you can do alot more with it :D

Ah... but we all know ebackhus doesn't like the PSP, he just uses the DS for portable gaming.

It sounds cool yes, but i also wouldn't do it, i do have a DS lite, but as i also have a PSP, it would be pointless.

Some of us don't have PSPs. I know, it's hard to even think about, but there you go.

It would be a crappy video player at best; it might do MP3 ok but you would have to have the thing open in whole time wouldn't you?

They say Nintendo will be coming out with a multimedia DS so cross your fingers.

The video in FF3 is pretty good. It runs at about 15 fps or so, but it's split between both screens so I can't really complain.

OMG THAT GAME IS EPIC!!!
