About $350 AUS for DS, SPiderman 2 game (DS) and a pikachu bag for it all. Next, some cheap GBA games for it too. Hardly any DS games out yet. Found old GB colour games $7 each, copies I think. Rtype DX! cool.
Fark! Awesome! I take it the games will work from Oz and so forth.
I was checking these things out but I guess now I have no choice but to get a PSP. Whoo-hoo!!!
So has anyone been able to play it apart from you? How is the dual screen touch sensitive love machine? It looked like it would be cool for FPS games, but I don't know what else they could do with it...
I now work at a cmp[any where drinking onf the job is highly encouraged.
that cou0pled with Asahi on tap at the stokehouse in st Kilda == 1 piseed eighatball.
I say keep an emye out for cheap ipod photo's (40GB) if you spot one, let me know cause I'd be on that like a german on a shit encrusted sex film.
wohhoo

Fuck, I don't know if the OZ games will work, never even thought of it...
pfrrrt
Should do? It's not a TV platform.
PSPs here are well over 2000 dirums, 2700 or something. $900 AUS or so. Stupid.
Haven't played it yet, wrapped for xmas.
Game boy colour games here work on our GBcolour from OZ, so should all be sweet. :)
I'm going to choose some GBA games myself for the DS, 10yo agrees I can borrow it for nightshift :) Then I guess get DS games whenever people come home from OS, etc. Maybe somewhere online will sell them cheaper than OZ? Because you know they'll start at $100+ in OZ.
8ball ipods I have looked at are about same price as home :(
BUT car stereos cheap :) Going to Abu Dhabi where the doctor reckons can get even cheaper 2nd hand system. Xplod cd mp3 deck $200 new, so I have fingers crossed for cd stacker for the boot and sexy dash unit for the same 2nd hand. Then speakers later from JB sales. whatever, metal.
I am of the opinion that the iPod iPhoto is a waste of fucking time and a useless piece of wank. No intention to offend at all Eightball.
They took the iPod, a sensational portal audio device, and added the ability to store and review colour images on it too, thus: iPod iPhoto or whatever.
But, YOU CAN'T TAKE FUCKING PHOTOS WITH IT.
Now, why would you carry something like that around? Sure it's nice to review some pretty pics every once in a while, but don't you spend more time taking photos when you're mobile rather than looking at them?? If you wanted to fuck around with crappy little screens to show pictures of your arse to your mates you'd use a mobile phone.
They can fit a little high quality camera on a phone these days, surely they could squeeze on into the larger form factor of the iPod and then you could actually fucking use the damn thing.
I mean come on, the apple market is digital artists. Surely you'd take photos when you're out and about and then look at them when you're home working on the things...
you can attach album cover jpgs to playlists.
thats the only reason I want it.
so when you're playing an album you get to look at the album cover, for me thats awesome.
& I'm hoping you could also browse via album cover, that would be sweet.
but yeah as for storing photo's on it. Pfft don't care
I saw a valid reason for iPod photo:
1 x digital camera with shitty amount of flash card storage
1 x ipod with 20gb.
Download photos to iPod while on hols. Clear flash card.
Take more photos. No need to keep buying stupidly expensive flash cards when have already paid an insane amount of cash for an iPod.
Oh yeah - I want some portable gaming goodness as well.
I used to love having a bash at super mario bros. R type rocked as well.
yeah, the cheap 40GB MP3 player I got the other month (hence by dubbed iShit) does this as well. it's one of the main reasons I got it. However with a 512MB SD card being just a touch over $100 I don't class taht as stupid expensive. However with iShit's cheap LCD display you can't view the photo's you've put on it.
However with iPod photo, you'll need a adaptor for it to read the Flash memory, & those suckers don't run real cheap either I don't think.
Anyway, I reserve my judgement on iPod photo until I get a chance to play around with one. if it allows me to scroll through a selection of album covers to choose my playlist I'll be stoked cause that would be like flipping through my CD collection to choose an album. But I bet you it doesn't (as that would be too rad)
