Need a lite?

So it has been about 4.5 years since I’ve purchased any sort of video game system. That is an accomplishment. There have been many that tempted me- with all the price drops and tempting titles. But none that got me like the perfectly priced Nintendo DS… well not the DS really- but the new one- the DS lite. Mmmm. So cool. There were a bunch of articles this past week Here and Here about some stores mistakingly stocking the system 2 weeks before the relase date. The official release date (June 11th) was a good week and a half away...

So I had a bunch of birthday money hanging around just staring at me- and I at it. Wondering what to do – be logical buy house stuff- WHATEVA (not a pansy girl whateva- more the “this is my United States of Whateva.”). So kinda on a whim I was finished up with a client and I headed over to Target on 280. Bless you Target. Seriously- Bless you. There they were- about 7 of them- sitting so lonely- needing to be taken home. I casually asked the gentleman how much those were- he said $129. I said “Can I have one?” and not 10 minutes later I was in my car unwrapping this little white wonder.

We have such a future together. We just connected- it was so happy with me and I with it. I’ll review it soon- but lets just say that the battery life is great- the screen I keep on low brightness cause it’s frickin awesome and I couldn’t be happier.

So I also picked up the New Super Mario Brothers- tough enough to be a challenge, familiar enough but not the same old, and the mini games will be nice for when you can’t seem to get that last huge coin.
