| I have been looking at Metroid hunters every single time I walk into a store with this system on display, and wonder if it is worth the price.
It looks like it's down to just over $100, but I don't want to waste cash that could go to minis if it isn't worth it.
Can anyone speek from experience on how good the system is? I understand that it plays the older gameboy titles, but how do they display (top, bottom, both screens?).
Thanks! | | | |

| I own the system, and I personally really like it. When it first came out there weren't really any good games for it, but now there are plenty. Metroid Prime Hunters is definitely one of the best for the system, especially the multiplayer, which can be played against computers too. I've always been a Nintendo fanboy, so maybe you might want to take that into consideration.
If you are going to buy the system though, Hunters would be one of the best games to get for it. After you play it a few times, it is really easy to get used to the top and bottom screens, and the stylus. In my opinion, the system also has great graphics.
Anyway, happy choosing! [:D] | |

| | I own the system and I like it. It is a heck of alot cheaper than PSP and has better games ( although less 3rd party support). I do not have Metroid but Mario 64 is a hoot. Advance Wars is also very cool. | |

| | I ended up trading in my DS. The touch screen is a neat idea that doesn't actually work all that well in practice. I much prefer the PSP. | |

| | I like my DS alot. I only have one problem with it, the buttons are really small. Maybe not for you other people out there but I'm 6'4", my hands dwarf the DS. I can press the A,B,X and Y buttons all at the same time just using my thumb [XX(]. Other than that one problem, I think it's a great system and would recomend it over the PSP. | |
