Hold Up…That Shiny new DS Lite may have to wait.

Posted on November 16th, 2007 by Ed / Add Comment »

If you were going to buy yourself or your spoilt rotten kids a shiny new Nintendo DS Lite for Christmas. Avoid the screaming sessions and, think AGAIN. (Possibly. See end of post for final decision)

As soon as your little boy/girl realizes that her/his brand new DS isn’t as shiny as the new facelifted model, what will he/she say? Oh Yes, Nintendo maybe making a few tweaks here and there so you may want to hold off. According to Gamespot, as soon as the sales of the current model slow, BAM! A new model that will send everybody into a tizzy on whether or not they should bother with the supposedly lost Game Boy Advance Slot that no-one used and More…

Posted on November 7th, 2007 by Ed / Add Comment »

Instant Palm ache with the “Plushy Mouse”

Posted on November 3rd, 2007 by Ed / Add Comment »

Made from wool felt and laminated bamboo ply (yeah we laughed too), this thing doesn’t even have a scroll wheel.
