So, what does "DS" stand for, anyway?

[vovat]

So, that new Nintendo DS came out today, and I went out to Kmart to get one for Beth. I had called them last night, and the girl I talked to said they opened at 9. When I called at 7:30 this morning, though, I found out that girl had been wrong, and they actually opened at 8. So I hurried over there, only to find out that they apparently didn't have the DS in stock. The employees seemed to have not even heard of it, and the lady at the customer service counter suggested that they might not have gotten them in their last shipment. That strikes me as odd for a big-ticket item that's in their sale paper. I guess there's no way of knowing what happened there. I WAS able to get one at Target, though, so I suppose it all worked out in the end.

I'm still unsure as to whether I should get a Game Boy Advance for myself. I'm actually considering getting an iPod instead. There's a big difference in price between the two items, but if I don't buy the GBA, that's more money towards the iPod. I guess I'd just get the small iPod (the 20 GB one, that is, not the Mini). I'm not sure whether that would be a good buy, though, especially when there are other things I want. Any thoughts?



This one didn't have any pictures, but I pretty much HAD to take it:

I should probably go back to bed. I only got five and a half hours of sleep, and, while I'm not that tired right now, I'm sure my lack of sleep will catch up with me eventually.

if i could marry my ipod, i would.

Well, why SHOULDN'T girls be able to marry iPods? It's just another one of the Bush administration's outdated, repressive policies! {g}

Seriously, though, what size iPod do you have?

[listenesmerelda.livejournal.com]

i have a fourth generation 20 gig.. i used to have a third generation 15 gig, but it broke, and they just replaced it with a new one because they don't make the third generation ones anymore.

if you get an ipod, i highly recommend getting a warranty. it will not only come in handy for a possibly mysterious halt of functioning (like what happened to mine), but the battery life is usually about 18 months, whereas the warranty is generally about two years.. so if your battery gives out before the warranty, you can probably get a brand new one.

A few more annoying questions:

How many songs can you fit on the 20 gig iPod?
How much does the warranty generally cost?
If the battery dies, do you lose all the songs on the iPod?
Are you going to do the recommendation/question thing on the other thread?

the box says five thousand. i've put most of the mp3s on my computer on it as well as a bunch of cds i've ripped and i don't think i've even filled it half way up.

i got a warranty through best buy (that's where i bought it, obviously), it was forty bucks.

probably.

and perhaps!

Thanks!

p.s. ds stands for dual screen.

[vovat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I knew that, but I couldn't come up with a better title. Didn't it also stand for "Developmental Stage" at one point?
