'Or,' and this is just a hypotenuse, you could sell me your old DS for $75. Which model is it?
It's a DSi, the pink one. And I'd totally sell it to you. I'd be happier with it actually going to someone than to Gamestop who're just gonna sell it to another shmuck for more.
DSi? Pink? ...I'll think about it. Maybe my girlfriend will want one. I'm a DSlite kind of guy, but hey. This is half the price of that!

Also, a FREAKIN ALARM SYSTEM!! Try jackin' my shit now assholes!! Sorry, had a moment there. I'm better now.
You should also get a gimp mask and some BDSM gear for when you catch them. :o

Guaranteed, they will not go to the authorities no matter what you do after that!

Just be sure to let me know before the 20th, that's when Gamestop's promotion ends. I'm a little flummoxed as to why you'd prefer the DS lite over the DSi, since the i is at least slightly better than the lite (larger, brighter screens, ability to play downloadable games, et al).

20th, you say? Girlfriend's pretty interested, she says we'll discuss more on payday. Which is Friday, so!

I dunno, I had a lite back in the day, I liked it, and to be honest I've never played a DSi. Perhaps I'll like it better. Surely the entire line will drop by like fifty bucks after the 3DS comes out, though.

Oh wait, did I say pink? I meant lightish red.

To be fair, the shade the DSi comes in is a pretty manly shade of lightish red.

Awesome. Have you guys seen those iGear Kup heads? I have to say, I'm kind of tempted...

Finally I get something to participate with...

TF Generations Blurr - decent, although I really don't get the head design being closer to the Drift head than to a Blurr head, it's a new head either way. Drift's body also isn't quite limber enough for the type of fast poses needed for Blurr, but the figure looks good as it is. Gun is too long, unwieldy, but well detailed. Pistols are nifty.

TF RTS Perceptor - part of it has charm, part of it is massive suck. The limited paint is suck. The backpack that holds the shoulders dislodging when the arms are posed, that is massive suck (bad enough that Yee gave the figure a thumbs-down!). The somewhat cheap and awkward face sculpt is suck. The yellow paint on the eyes covering the effective yellow light-piping is massively stupid suck. The vague and abandoned ideas is a bit of suck. But there's also a heavy reliance on the G1 character which comes through, some good detailing, and even though the chrome is cheeseball to the max, it fits alright. I wouldn't recommend this one without reservation though.
