Ds light and a few games or Ipod touch...

***xxbodkinxx*** · 12-18-2007, 08:54 AM

So I have a ipod nano right now and I don't really need the touch but hey its my b-day and I have 300 bucks to spend on myself. I have read mixed reviews on the touch as far as the blacks being screwed up etc so I am kinda on the fence.

What it comes down to is this. Is the touch worth the money for the Wifi/internet and fun factor or should I just get the ds light with a few games for my fun times. I was sold on the touch until I read the reviews and got to thinking of how often I will actually use the internet feature. I have a top of the line comp sitting right here in my house. I have a computer sitting at work that I can use for my email checking etc.

Maybe I should get the ds light with a few games and just save myself some cash and keep the nano, Anyone with the ipod touch have an opinion on this?

Thanks!

Ds Lite all the way.

Get the M3 DS or R4 and you're all set with a DS . MP3, Videos, you can run a Browser and use the built in WiFi to surf the net on your DS. You can run Home brew games, and so much more.

If you already have an Ipod nano, get the DS, games baby! Games!

My friend is selling his ipod touch 16gb it was only used for less then a week. pm me if you are interested.

***xxbodkinxx*** · 12-18-2007, 12:55 PM

Thanks for the reply. I would get the iphone but for the cheapest plan its 60 a month. I don't talk enough to justify paying that a month haha.

Im getting the ds I think. Mario Cart, Zelda, and 1 other, just reading reviews. any suggestions?

New Super Mario Bros.
I've beaten it about 6 times and it's still a lot of fun to play through.

I've edited out the links. We don't want to endorse hacks on this site. But that doesn't mean you can't use a search engine to look up more information on where you can find these.

dont bother with the DS unless you want to play DS games. the hardware of the DS is too weak to do anything else properly. i had one, sold it. its so lousy its not even funny. if you are into homebrew go PSP.
