Before you answer, know that I don't want to hear something like "OMG IT'S SO TOTALLY WORTH IT. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY GET IT!" I'd like a thought out answer please. Anyways, I don't really plan on playing hours upon hours, but during school I have a couple hour long breaks where I have nothing to do and it's quite boring unless I fall asleep. Is it worth getting a DS and M3/R4 to help pass the time? I'd only play for about 1-2 hours during school, and maybe 1-2 after school. Oh yea, I'm also very frugal, but if you guys think it's worth getting, I'll get it.
OMG!! IT'S SO TOTALLY WORTH IT. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY GET IT!!! had to be done... Based on the fact your going to be playing it in relatively short bursts i think it is definetly worth buying, I often find myself pulling out my DS for some New Super Mario Brothers, or atm Sonic DS. You can also use it for watching videos now and then (though i will say now the video quality isn't ipod or psp standard) I find watching an anime epsiode for 20-25mins a good break from whatever i was doing beforehand. Also, don't forget there are a couple of good games for longer periods of time, i am currently slowly woring my way through Final Fantasy III I guess the main decideding factor is if you think you would use it, I know I do, and i'm the kind of person who does take my time deciding wether i would get he most out of somehting when buying it. Likewise I do know of some people who would not be interested in the DS (e.g. my father, he is happy with a PSP, but it never leaves the house it's purely for the odd game of Burnout/GTA/M.A.C.H here and there when theres nothing for him to do)
Heh, I should've seen that coming. One more question, when I play online with the DS do I connect to some sort of main server nation/worldwide or is it in the region of wireless?
