Get the impression they'll say anything for a freebee. Nice that Nintendo can do this to get kudos for the press. Giving a few to some homeless orphans might be a better idea, than someone who could buy plenty of them.

I'm clearly just jealous.

It's one of those really freaking insane things about this planet that the people with the most money, who do the least for it, never have to pay for anything... while working stiffs can't get a break for love, nor money.

It takes money, to make money, they say...

But I think celebs will love DS. It has two convenient, portable flat surfaces... ideal for snorting coke off.

When Nintendo does stuff like this, it's a shame, when certain other companies do it it's cool.

Sure, this stuff stinks... welcome to the world.

Are you saying that?

Or are you saying SPONG is saying that?

Because I think SPOnG is pretty pro-Nintendo. But this kinda thing sux no matter who does it. Media w****rs are convinced they know how to market to us, and you know what... most of the time they are correct! As a generation, we are predictable and trite. Whatevwer happend to the counter-culture? It got bought and paid for boxed and sold back to us.

Sure, this stuff stinks... welcome to the world.


Don't take it. Change it!

I'm saying it's becoming a trend. For whenever something goes wrong, blame them. Like last year, they were sued because of warning labels not being obvious enough, while Nintendo (after the early 90's riot about warnings for epilliptics etc) is one of the only companies that actually uses them. Why were they being singled out? Or when they were sued for having a multiplatform game on their console with a certain boxer in it. Without permission of the fighter. Why weren't sony and MS sued? And if they were, why wasn't it all over every news site and was Nintendo the only one mentioned? I'm just making an observation here. Could be wrong of course, but i bet Sony paid someone in the past 12 months to have somebody say nice things about them. I didn't read anything on any news site about stuff like that however.
