There is nothing that says you can't return something because it doesn't work the way it was supposed to.

Say my one MP3 player for example, I got it for christmas last year. I had an issue where when I would change songs, it would give this high-pitched sort of stutter and then start 4 seconds in the song. I was told that the device was supposed to do this and that I simply had 'sensitive ears' and that the 4 second jump ahead was because the device 'lagged' and needed to catch up.

I returned it because it was just bad quality in general, despite being made by Philips, a company I once had an MP3 player of awesome quality back in the late 90's.

Another time with my LG rumor, it had many issues. From sending the same text a gajillion times to not accepting that you read a text if you hit the END or any other button, so it'd buzz silently wherever it was and only drain it's battery in 10 minutes because of it.

Really it's not so much the customer's fault and moreso the companies just looking to make a quick, fast buck and failing to understand that quality checks are often needed. And by quality checks I don't mean a 5 minute runthrough with the person who programmed the software for it, or engineer who developed the way it was supposed to work and it's internal workings. I mean actual customer testing and feedback.

Actually the GBA was remade three times, norm => SP => Micro.

The original DS plays GBA games similar to the first-gen PS3 playing PS1 games and then it was cut.

Both nintendo and sony are guilty however with making a gajillion DS/PSP's though.

May as well try this, too... Hah.

Yoh.

Could use one for college.

Megaman battle network 1-6, all the Sonic Advance series, a few final fantasy, I also use a homebrew memory expansion for DSLinux. I also enjoy playing Pokemon Fire Red occasionally, too. As well as several of the ported Super Mario games for it.

I also play the LoZ: LTTP port as well for the GBA often. Oh, and don't forget the original NES port too. Then there are two Kirby games I have as well. Oh, and then there is Advance Wars. And the Mega Man Zero series.

Oh, and also don't forget Castlevainia and ChuChu Rocket. Earthworm jim, harvest moon, sword of mana, sim city, oh and then golden sun, too!

Okay what the hell Nintendo.

I'm sticking with my original DS. It may be old and the light may not be adjustable but at least I'm not fucked over in the ass by a GBA game sticking out halfway and with it not being all shiny, I don't need to worry about fingerprints all over, either. e_e

@EGOvoruhk We can only prey, yo. D: We can only prey.

Make an option to turn it off plox. D: Also I liked the blue because it made it feel like a blog. Now it feels like generic apple/7 sellout #42.

(No offense to apple and/or windows 7 fans.)

Is that kid having an orgasm in the picture.
