    Hey gang! I am kind of checking nintendo DS on play.com more often then should :D . And to be honest it has some cool games there. So tired of all those whana be hardcore hyped games. whant to play something that is actually fun.

    FF series are prety cool on DS and that advanced wars looks prety cool. i loved Nectaris on Psone.

    But i heared that DS is prety much for kids... Wount i look "fruty" with it in mine hands. And is there really some games that would hook up 22 years old male full time gamer :D

    21yr old gamer here and happier with my DS than pretty much any other console for pure gaming enjoyment. the variation from simple turn on a play for 5 mins games to the FF series as you said is great and it's literally used every day. go for it ;)

    I man have been too general in my comments. For instance They wont send a ps3 (you can see if you view the product under the 'important note'. There is no such message for the DS and I havent checkd your mouse.

    Maybe its a price thing.

    Stop listening to retards, would be my first piece of advice. The DS has a wide library of games. Yes it's got shovelware (hannah montanas pony adventure et al) but it has some fantastic games as well, plus it's compatable with the GBA which has even more awesome.

    Off the top of my head:

    Bangai-o spirits
    Advance Wars: Dual Strike
    The Phoneix Wright Series
    New Super Mario Bros.
    Harvest Moon DS (shut up, it's great)
    Hotel Dusk
    Kirby: Canvas Curse
    Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

    And there are the games you'll either love or hate, like Mario kart DS, Pokemon and about 50 Final Fantasy games.

    Oh and Chrono Trigger is on the way. Yes, that Chrono trigger.

    Whens that coming?

    Square seem to have butchered the FF series on the DS, really bland dull games. At least Tactics A2 is a step up in quality.

    November 25th for the yanks, 27th for the japanese and we're getting it sometime early in 2009. Or so say Sqeenix.

    So November 25th then :)

    Gawd bless the region free DS!

    If an item is listed under their "Games" section then they may deliver it to Ireland. I received both a gaming keyboard and one of those Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receivers for Windows from play.com. Both are in the "PC Games" section.

    Also you have to change the currency to Euro if you are ordering to a country outside the UK.
