So GameStop was having a special on trading a GBA SP in for a DS until the 25th. Yeah, that's right, it ends on Christmas, but I doubt they're open that day. Anyway, I'll be very busy tomorrow, so my younger brother and I went to GameStop today. First GameStop we went to, only had a pink color DS. I of course laughed and politely said no thanks, while the employee was also laughing.
So we traveled to the GameStop just down the street, which is in a mall. They had the Crimson and black (it's both colors. The top screen is a shiny crimson and the other half if black and not shiny) DS. I exchanged my GBA SP, SP cords (AC adapter, GBA to GameCube and GBA to GBA cords) along with 4 games (4 games gave another 20% off) for the DS. It cost me around $96 in cash, after all the trading in. Normally the DS is around $120.
Anyway, it took a long time, due to a problem I had. I wanted to use the $15 gift card I got on Sunday from my sister. According to the employees and their customer service, the gift card has $0 on it. I've emailed my sister about it, hoping she still has a receipt for it and can fix the issue.
Currently, I've got no DS games, but it can play my GBA games. I plan to buy at least 1 DS game, once the gift card problem is resolved, but haven't decided on one, yet. I've been looking at Wi-Fi games and as of right now, I can't decide on these:
Custom Robo Arena
Tetris DS
Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker
I'd imagine I'll get the most amount of time out of Tetris, being it's a puzzle game and always different, but I'm in the mood for something else. Custom Robo Arena sounds decent. People seem to love the battle and customizing in it, but they say it has too much dialog and not much character depth. I'll probably end up going with DQM:J, since the reviews I read say it's endless fun, due to the Wi-Fi features. Sadly, it only has ~20 hours worth of story mode play time though.
Which ever game I pick for my first game, I'm sure I'll pick up the other 2 (if I can only afford 1 game) eventually.
