I'm already planning on buying Advance Wars: Days of Ruin and I'll have plenty of money for an extra game. What game should I get?


Also, what color DS do I want?

Perhaps the color you like the most?

Just a suggestion.

Sigh.

There is no option for silver.

Since there's no silver option, I voted black. I've heard that Advance Wars: DS is better than Days of Ruin, but I don't know as I've only played DS (Which is BRILLIANT)

I had a black DS first. It looked awesome, but was a dust and fingerprint magnet. I'd clean it and within a few minutes it was quite messy. That got swapped for a white one which always looks nice and, more importantly, looks better when open - the black version has a matt interior which is quite dull.

Given what Warbie says I'd say White too. My black DS does get hugely smudged.

I'm considering modding my DS, or at least colouring it so it doesn't look so smudgy.

White is what I've got. I didn't have the balls to go for Pink.

The red ones look cool.

Get an R4 and a micro SD card :) Totally worth it.

I would get a black one, the white one looks like it would suffer what Macbooks go through, it'll eventually get discolored from grease, oils and dead skin cells. My white one hasn't because I don't bring it with me in public and when I play it at home, it's lying on a table most of the time.

I third the storage device, I personally use the m3 ds real, they're virtually the same though.

White. I have a black but I prefer my friend's white one. Probably get it swapped if it ever needs to be returned.

I swear.

Of course, you don't use it to play illegally downloaded NDS roms, you only use it to play legitimately paid downloaded mp3's off iTunes...

right?

R4? SD card?

The R4 is a flash cart that holds a micro SD card for storage. The card is the exact size of any DS game. Just load NDS roms on the micro SD card along with a few files from their website, insert the micro SD card into the R4 and the R4 into the DS just like a regular game and voila.

I have a 1gb card and I can hold like 12+ nds games and a few SNES games.

It'll take a few hours off your battery life, but it's really not noticeable. You'll still get like 10 hours out of your battery and best of all, it's like $50 total for the R4 and micro SD card if you find a good deal.

can't you make your own decision?

I can make my own decisions, but I wanted opinions... so that I can make an informed decision.

Well... to be fair, choosing color is pretty much entirely subjective. The choice is to suit what color you like best, not what joe blow on helplife2.net likes best.

If I were you, I'd just choose the color you enjoy the most. You can always get covers (plastic, metallic, etc.) for it if you're worried about fingerprints and whatnot.
