The great DS switch

[Kire]

Ok...I want the new DS, but I got one recently before they had denied a new one coming out RIGHT UP TO the announcement of one, and it's out in March. I have the replacement plan for Best Buy, so I can get a full refund if it's defective or something...I just want to say "those Big N bastards were ingenuine and I feel like I've been duped..." but what should I really say when I go return it for a full refund so I can get the new one?

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to trade it towards the purchase of a new one at gamestop or something.

Odds are they see it all the time, just be like "You know why I'm here."

Re: The great DS switch

I blame the Japanese. The DS is the fastest-selling system in Japanese history, thus causing big shortages, forcing them to release the DS lite so early. And due to consumer demand, subsequently releasing it stateside to replace the original DS.

But I'm getting one anyway.

Are there any dead pixels on your DS? Or perhaps you can trade it in for store credit?

I think the term you're looking for is "menage a trois". Your old DS will be aghast and confide in the new DS. While comforting your old DS, the new DS will nonetheless be intrigued. When the new DS mentions its interest in you, the old one will be disgusted with the whole situation and wash its stylus of you.

Yeah, that works, too.

Welcome to the club.

BB will probably give you a full refund regardless of the condition. I've returned heatsinks, webcams, power supplies, and all sorts of crap I just bought to use one time or to try and fix my comp with no questions asked.

Scratch the touch screen or something.

Re: The great DS switch

I'm gonna need one, but I'll be keeping the old one.

It will be my expendable, travel DS while DS Lite sits at home behind bullet proof glass.

Re: The great DS switch

I am glad I didn't get one yet.

Strangly, I had 2 "blue" pixels on my DS for about 6 months. They would only be noticible when something in that area of the screen wasnt blue.

One day, they went away.

Re: The great DS switch

put it in the microwave for a few seconds. it'll kill both screens. then you'll have no problem getting a replacement.
