well... i half obsess over the DS... i could probably name off like 60 games coming out for it just off the top of my head. im a freaking mod and reviewer on http://www.touchds.com. idk i just love the DS.
so yea i already have one, this is just a little bonus too it.
Future installments of Xenosaga? I had the impression that III was for the PS2 or similar, and it's just I and II for the DS, at least so far. Don't recall any statement that the series would continue on DS rather than a console, but I'm sure Rich can clarify.
I'm mildly annoyed that new DS + Nintendogs bundles have just been announced. I was about to buy the game (had to wait until I found which one my sister got) and I really like the idea of a teal DS. I suppose if necessary I could get the bundle and give the extra DS to my fiancé or my mom. I've been meaning to get her a SP anyway...hm, actually, maybe I'd better stick with that idea, as she probably would want to play her old b&w Tetris cart on it and that wouldn't work with the DS (and she'd at least get a nice bright one now). On the other hand, she'd probably enjoy Nintendogs too...dither, dither.
I keep my SP around for, among a few other things, old school GB Tetris.
AFAIK, Xenosaga III is set for PS2 and it is supposed to be the end of the series. Currently, only Xenosaga I + II has been announced for DS. If that combo does well and Xenosaga III also does well, you might see III on DS as well. If it seems like something that could make the company money, it's a safe bet they've considered it, but nothing is announced now.
I admit I'm dithering on the Teal DS as well. I don't like the silver and electric blue, but I could go for the Teal. The trouble is I'm not sure if I want Nintendogs for the extra $20. I don't really want to play that when I have other things backlogged and I'm not entirely DS-less.
You have taught us the pity to live.
But I will not forget the beauty of life itself.

Rune: sadly, I think you can only get the Teal DS in the combo pack. AFAIK, they don't plan on selling them separate. It's a monday morning though, so it's possible I'm mixing things up
I bought one because although i do not support Nintendo with their large systems, the Game Boy franchise is my favorite and i will continue to buy their mini systems as long as they keep up the good work and the prices lower than Play Station
