^ I might have tried the original Sims, don't quite remember. Maybe it's just that I'd seen the PC version of that game... CoD4 got decent reviews for DS but I thought it was shit since I was already playing it in 1080i on my computer.

Anyway, if you're interested in a modchip, check out the R4DS. That's the one I have... the only issue is sometimes I need to blow on to it or it won't boot up. Ah, good old-fashioned game carts.

I just sold my DS Lite + 2 games for $120

Shawn · August 18th, 2008, 10:51 PM

^ What about your chip? Why'd you sell it?

I sold my Wii last week because I never played it and I got some good cash for it. DSL + 2 games is what, $150?

Samsung U900

The 2nd DVD has all the press material (Hi-def pics, text, info, videos, logos, staff pics, polyphony studio pics, car pics etc). That's because this special edition was only sent to game magazines and all the car companies involved in the game.

Initially this limited edition couldn't be bought back in the day, but ebay is soooo great...

Sexy phone MadCow! However, due to a bad experience with Samsung a couple of years ago, I just can't bring myself to get another one of their phones...

Good buy on that samsung.... i'm using a A900M with sprint(USA) and waiting for my contract to expire so I can upgrade to an iphone 3g

Got a Nike shoe and a Nike+ for use with my nano. Yaaay! Now I can find out how many cals I'm burning and how far I've walked/ran!

I never got around to getting the R4. I quit my job last month so I needed some extra cash.

Solberg and Shawn:

Make sure to pickup Advance Wars, its the reason I have ever wanted a portable for.

Vltros:

I want!

Shawn · August 19th, 2008, 07:09 AM

^ I hate that game!!! I read all the rave reviews and went all over the place looking for a copy since it was discontinued. Imagine how disappointed I was when I played it.

GT4? Sure it was by far the one of the worst Grand Turismos (in my opinion; never tried GT2 or Japan versions) however, GT at its worst is still great.

If that isn't enough, well just drive on the Nürburgring on it. I hated that game, but that track made me play it again and again.

thanks guys. Vodashop gave me the upgrade options of either the U900 for free or the Nokia N95 8gb for an extra R1000, but since I'm used to Samsung's phone and it was on a free upgrade package, I took the U900 over the N95 that everyone told me to get.
