@Slagathorian: Save the trees and kill the children.: Really? I'm just outside of Toronto, and I grabbed two copies on release date.

oh, how i love that you used the word tchotchke. :)

WAIT. WAIT. The US has civil liberties? Check out the US version of the TV show SKINS compared to the original UK version. Sorry I couldn't think of a better example; I'm dead tired. However, it's total crap what gets censored in North America. I think I could handle hearing fuck on tv, or seeing someone's breasts.

DAMN. I'm going to get this as soon as I can afford to. <3

I really want a Fjällräven jacket, though ... those things are amazing.

@Krytha: This is a good point.

@Zanafer: but that's not correct. you are goal? your = possessive.

MAN, that's AWESOME. And to think, the first time my friend got the Kremlin to take off instead of the UFO impressed me!

@PositivelyGreg: so is embiggen, but you don't see me using it.

dear god, i hope that game selection screen is temporary. it's hideous.

Oh, look, they used Helvetica. That's totally unique, guys.

@Bryan Pope: Oh, really? Sweet! That's good to know. Now I'll just use the 3DS. :D

@Destati: Huh? I'm paying for it with my own money. I got the DS when I still didn't have my own income. My choice. |: And now that Bryan told me that I'll probably get more battery life, my point is pretty much null.

@Destati: Well, I'd probably just use the Lite because of the battery life. Doesn't mean I won't touch the 3DS for months, silly.

@wiskill: This is true.

Beefy, this is why you're one of my favourite posters on Kotaku. You're eloquent, and you get your point across in a marvelous way. I agree with this entirely. My friend has a PS3, and I go visit him and play sometimes. When I was younger, I had a friend named Matt, and he always had a system I didn't, whether it was…

@Karljohan Pettersen: And you live in Scandinavia (I assume by the name), the land of crazy high taxes! With good reason, of course, but still!

@Harald Fodgaard Grønvall: Scandinavian (more specifically, Danish or Norwegian)? Yeah, that's going to be hell for you. When I was in Copenhagen in September, HeartGold cost approximately 83$ CAD, months after launch. Here, at launch, it was 40$ CAD.

I've pre-ordered mine, mostly because I'm really excited about the technology, and the 1st party roster of games (even the ones without a certain release date). I'm sure, during the first few months, I'll still pick up my DS Lite more, but it was that way with the original DS, too. I got one on launch (dad was lovely…

Damn, this is in my neck of the woods! There's a great video game store in Milton, actually.
