They stick out about 1/4" that's not something that detracts from it at all in my opinion.

EDIT: On closer inspection, I don't think the GBA cart shown in the IGN images is fully inserted... it may just barely stick out.

The text on the image says that it sticks out 1cm. That's just over 3/8".

Not a big deal to me. The fact that original GB games stick out of the GBA seems to pose no problems. Plus, I don't own any GBA games anyway.

They don't get in the way, but they do stick out a good lot. Which is not to say it's a bad thing, actually it more or less confirms that the GBA games sticking out ever so slightly will be no issue at all. If the big honkin GB games don't get in the way in the GBA/SP

DS Lite sold out in a matter of hours!

The first shipment of Nintendo DS Lites was sold out in almost all video game stores across Japan in a couple of hours (or just minutes).
Since Nintendo wasn't taking preorders people camped outside stores and made up rows of up to 500 people.
E.g. Yodobashi Camera (a really really big store in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward, who should have thousands of units) was sold out of DS Lite on 8:20am! That's 20 minutes from opening!
Nintendo is planning to produce 650.000 units of DS and DSlite in March. Nintendo are using their capacities to the full, but still can't meet the high demand for their DS.

That's nice news. :)

Wow! I can't believe they sold out that fast. Sounds like very good news for Nintendo.

well you know that this means that the original ds's price will probably drop as i don't even have one and I'll probably just get the normal one because i barely even know what the original looks like and i just need one...fast. i'm missing out on so many good games for it!

Maybe it's better if I didn't have an avatar so i didn't have to spend all my time making one...

I also want a DS but it doesn't matter if it's the normal or the smaller version. :wink:

I want to get the ice blue one, so I can play games against my friends (who are all too cheap to buy their own).

Also it'd be fun to use the chat part so my friends and I can be childish remarks about people that we don't like (and see what it takes to make my husband's jaw to drop). I have to offend someone; it's my job as an american.

I need friends.... I had to nix Tom. He wasn't really my friend. His smile "mocked" me.
