They are releasing a new pink and blue DS in the UK to celebrate Nintendogs release over here.

Anyone else know about the Play-Yan ($79.90 or £44.51)?

Your better with an PSP for that kind of thing anyway.

The Screen on the PSP is vastly superior.

Yeah, but much as I love the technical ability of the PSP, I don't want a portable Playstation 1. I wanted a Nintendo DS, and that it also offers these capabilities is a bonus should I choose to take advantage of them.

My DS arrived, but with two dead pixels!

It'll cost me money to get fixed... which sucks... Anyhow, despite that Band Brothers! is horrendously addictive (and more skilful than I thought) and Electroplankton is the best toy I've ever owned. I've spent all day on it instead of working.

It sucks that I might send it back. Those pixels aren't outrageously in-your-face, but they annoy the hell out of me.

Gah! That completely sucks. Did you order from Lik-Sang? I wonder if I asked them to check my unit before they send it for dead pixels if they'd do it or if they'd laugh at me.

If I were you I'd ask.

I hope Nintendo's next console will allow you to play DS games on there, using a DS player or something.

Damn, that does indeed suck.

I think I was fortunate that I didn't have dead pixels, or maybe I'm blind and haven't yet found them.
