Hey guys, I'm just starting out with summer and I'm already bored as hell. I decided to try out what seems to be the coolest console around: Nintendo DS. Anyways I had a Gameboy Color back when I was 8. Skipped GBA for no reason but now I wanna jump into NDS. So:

1) What's the cheapest? There's NDSLite, NDSi, NDSiXL, N3DS. Mind-boggling. But what's value for money?
2) Where in KL can I find an authorised seller. Now I've been tricked before and don't want this to happen again. Any tips for determining the 'originality' of an NDS if I bought it in Lowyat or some small gamestore?
3) What's the best games you guys can recommend. I don't want to play all summer long so just list me what you think is best and the game that appears most is the one.. I guess
4) Technical details? Can NDS go into a comp? Battery life? Battery change? CD/Cartridge?

Yeah..

1) dunno much about NDS but i do have a NDSL for sell though. looking for around rm400 offer. pm me if interested
2) not sure as well. but i dun think there's recon NDS in the market. the reason being it is not as hot as PSP. correct me if im wrong.

Right, thanks for the replies. I was wondering what hardware does it have? I know theres a touchscreen hence logically there must be a stylus. Anything else? Memory card? List the possible I/Os (or inputs and outputs)

Oh yeah, how much does a NDSLite go for anyways? RM600?

If by any chance a DS Lite goes at RM 600, your being ripped off since an official one would only cost you RM 480 and I can give you 2 games free for that. Mystery though.

The I/Os for the DS Lite would only be the DS games and GBA games. That's it.

This show the comparison of all models: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3ds#Technical_comparison

2 free games when u buy ds lite from kyo?
im interested

Ai, u baru tahu ka?

2 free games, i wonder wad it is

cooking mama+nintendog

play a lot of RPGs , they can last you a long time.

Dragon Quest , both Zeldas.

Buy games that make use of the touchscreen/stylus like The World Ends with You

as for the system, it depends if you have access to GBA games or not, because the Slot-2 devices are pretty hard to find nowadays.

That one Girl option. Guy option different case.

Eh Cooking Mama quite hot, so not for free one.
