GameSpot Poll
Nintendo announced that the DS will cost $20 less the day before Nintendogs rolls over into stores. Now are you buying one?
 
Pssh... I had a DS back when they didn't even make games for it.
At that price, how can I afford NOT to have one?
Maybe, though the thought of shouting 'Sit up, Mr. Pickles' at my lap makes me feel creepy.
No way! Too busy watching my $20 copy of Hitch on my PSP! Let' see a DS do THAT!
I still don't get this portable gaming fad.
Next-gen ($$$!) is right around the corner. I'm all ramen and Mac n' Cheese 'til then.
