Unpacking the Nintendo DS

Sometimes my friends, the gods smile upon you. We hadn't even gotten around to asking for one to review, but just a few minutes ago the FedEx guy showed up with a little something for us: the new Nintendo DS! (They also went to the trouble of overnighting us a tube of bubble wrap, which has something to do with their "Touching is good" advertising campaign). We'll squeeze out a review soon, but in the meantime, enjoy these hastily shot pics of us unwrapping our new toy.

Yep, they?re serious about this whole ?Touching is good? theme.

Here?s what came in the box.

Side-by-side with our trusty Treo 600.

This was about as far as we were able to get with the pics before we had to break down and start playing Metroid.
