from www.amazon.com
well i fell in love at first sight and me and my friend drooled over the sleekness, the sd card slot and cameras i knew i had to have it(considering my beat up baby).
from www.amazon.com
i also like how the dsi's music player organizes the music according to the folders in the sd card; it allows direct creation of playlists.

from Tim Stetzer, Bjorn3d.com
it's a game platform you won't mind taking with you, in a sleek package that is not out-of-place, even for an adult to carry around.
from Brian, reviews.cnet.com
the volume control is very precise and you can lower it to whisper level when you are playing (i played it while waiting for my car (having an oil change) in the waiting room).

Nintendo Wii Console

$405.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i don't care who makes it as long as it is fun, so this is in no way bashing or favoring a product based on the manufacturer.
from www.amazon.com
need for speed carbon: i got this one strictly as an experiment -- i have it for the ps2, and i wanted to see what the new control scheme is really like while playing a game i already know.
from www.amazon.com
it has a very easy to open door on top that allows you to connect your gamecube controllers as well as your game cube memory cards.
from www.amazon.com
i don't even care if the wii doesn't win this generation's console wars (though it deserves it).
from www.amazon.com
it's storage is sub-par with only 512 megabytes, if you download a lot of old nintendo or sega classics through the virtual console, you'll need to buy a big sd card.

interesting with this game, a lot of it has to do with the general weirdness of japanese culture, as this game both visually and conceptually seems like it was taken out of a japanese kids cartoon.
