Nintendo DS Star Wars Lightsaber Stylus 3 Pack

By Michael Kerner "Michael Kerner" (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.) - reviews

All in all, the Nintendo DS has definitely been the most definitive handheld video game system we've seen on the market in years, and still is selling even stronger than ever. But, one thing that keeps delivering, is that Nintendo knows how to make the system custom-made for the hard core fans. But that also is shown for Star Wars fans too, with the new Star Wars Lightsaber stylus pens. These unique stylus pens appeal well for hard core Star Wars buffs, but also to celebrate the release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars for the Nintendo DS. Sadly, there is one unfortunate dissapointment. I was dissapointed that you can't put these lightsaber pens into your DS Lite holder, whenever you bring you Nintendo DS or DS Lite on the go. Instead, you'd have to bring these Star Wars delights in a DS carrying case with you. Still, they are a fantastic buy for Nintendo DS fans that still say, may the force be with you.

DS Lite Action Replay

By S. Yung - reviews

I bought this product for my Pokemon Diamond for DS. As you have noticed, there are a number of complains about this product. To warn you; This product can be fragile. For example, if you touch the part exposing the computer chip of the action replay, part of the memory of the chip (codes) may be corrupted or erased.

Here is a little background on how to use it before buying:

To fix that, reupload the codes using the included program. To install, simply run the set up program(the mini cd)like you would normally do for purchased programs. When you launch the program, you may notice that there is one box where the codes come from code junkies automatically when you have internet access("Subscriptions"), another that is labeled "My Codelists", and the last huge box is labeled "Nintendo DS". To connect the Action Replay with the computer(Windows XP(home or professional), no mac, no sure about Vista), insert the action replay into the DS and turn it on. Use the included USB(Universial Serial Bus) and connect it with the computer and the action replay. The "Subscriptions" starts to list the codes that is in the action replay. From the "Subscriptions", you can drag the games or cheats to the "Nintendo DS" box to update the action replay with the codes that you want easily and quickly.

Adding Customized Codes:

You may have noticed that some users say that customized codes cannot be used. Yet, if you click software update(the ds game picture on the right), the software on your computer is updated, emabling you to add user-made codes that you want to use that is not on CodeJunkies. All you have to do is drag the game that you want to "My Code Lists", then to "Custom code list". Now there are more options for you, including adding games and adding cheats. Remember the 28-line complex codes that you want to use? Now, all you have to do is copy and paste the long code to the "Custom code List" under the game when you use adding cheats. Thats pretty much it for my before buying and after buying buyers guide.

I hope this helps people that are lost/mislead about the product, eventhough I agree that you don't get any customer support from them.

Nintendo DSi Bundle - White

By Raven (California) - reviews

I just "upgraded" from the DS Lite. I was hesitant on the DSi because it did not seem worth it and I did not like the colors that were out.

When I saw this bundle I jumped on it. I like the color and the Mario games were ok not what I expected tho. And if I did buy them I would have not been happy, but they were free so no complaints.

The color and texture was not what I expected it was better. I had the Onyx DS Lite and the Crimson/onyx one and preferred the crimson one because the bottom part was like a matte texture and felt more comfortable while playing games. One thing I liked about the DSi was they were all matte texture but I was afraid Metallic Blue would have a metallic texture but it doesnt its matte like the others. It is kinda shiny look to the color tho.

I like the bigger screen but have to get used to the button placement.

Camera I have not played with too much yet but it seems fun and you can mess around with the pictures and you can upload your pics to facebook or whatever so thats cool.

the amazing thing tho about Amazon was I was shopping the Black Friday sales after midnight and ordered this 12:50am on the 27th (yesterday) it was immediately processed and then shipped out around 5am and I got it in the mail this morning.

*Edit*

Wow I am so happy I ordered this when I did on Black Friday (staying awake to wait for gamestop to open actually) I got this for a sale price(under 160) and received it the next day.

Dsi Nerf Armor - Blue/Black

By Autism Mom (Florida) - reviews

This is the most protective case that you can currently buy for the DSi and I checked them all out. Your DSi snaps into place and is well secured. The armor is thick and spongy. It is a little bulky but the protection it offers is well worth the trade-off. I highly recommend this particularly if you have hard floors (tile, wood, laminate) throughout your house.

The Nintendo DS Lite manages to pack even more fun into a smaller, slimmer body that's less than two thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS.Nintendo DS Lite might be over 20% lighter than Nintendo DS, but it's a lot heavier on features. Nintendo DS Lite doesn't just play DS games - it also features an additional port for Game Boy Advance Game Paks.Nintendo DS Lite has twin ultra bright LCD screens that combine crisp, punchy colors, along with touch-screen technology on the lower screen to deliver some of the most groundbreaking gameplay ever developed.Nintendo DS Lite has powerful dual processors that bring impressive 3D graphics to life with lightning-fast rendering. Even the stylus for Nintendo DS Lite has been redesigned. It's longer and thicker and works with the system's improved controls to make gameplay even more fun.
