Just wondering if anyone is seeing issues with their DS after a bit of use.
I am seeing 2 things but they are both most likely due to issues with the
game cartridge. I have Urbz for DS - and have lockups at the end of the DS
only mission as well as sound cutting in and out.

I've been playing Super Mario 64 DS and the control pad on the DS is
useless.  You have to use the Thumb-nub'in (tm) on the strap with the bottom
screen to get decent control at all.  I'm certain all true 3D games on the
DS will be this way... analog control is a must.

The only game I picked up with my DS is Urbz and it's great... I wasn't
expecting too much but I am really enjoying it. The graphics are spectacular
but that's the game not the DS... The game is completely addictive and uses
the touch screen pretty well.

I just got Advance Wars 1 used and I want to erase everything and start
it fresh. How do I go about this?

I've got a manual scan for Mario 64 DS on my site
http://blakesroms.uni.cc. Nintendo has only put up the hardware manual
which is a bit disappointing. I've also got manuals for other nintendo
consoles which will also be coming online. I'm mainly covering

they made a good point.  since PSP in Japan is about $185, I could see a
$150 launch price here in the U.S.
then Nintendo would have to drop DS price significantly.

What are my chances of picking up a nintendo DS without a pre-order in mid
dec?
I am visiting the usa for a holiday and would love to go back home with a DS
