Day 60 in Melbourne, Australia

-
I have finally purchased my Nintendo DS Lite (Black) last Friday. I went to 3 stores before getting the black edition. All other stores only have the White (buttons turning yellowish) or Pink (too girlish).

I bought it from JB Hi-Fi for AUD$188.00 (RM526.40). Added another $6 for another DS game, namely Star Wars Lethal Alliance. EB Games was selling cheaper at AUD$187.00 but no black edition. The salesperson from JB Hi-Fi (Jeff) was very friendly and recommended me a crystal case with 2 additonal stylus for AUD$8.99. The black edition is definitely a finger print magnet with it's glossy surface. Luckily with the crystal case, I could protect it well enough. I been using it while travelling on trains in Melbourne.

Next on my list would be to get the flash-cart to play NDS ROM games. I am going to choose either the R4DS or the DS-Extreme. I prefer the DS-Extreme with it's built-in memory (512MB or 2GB) but very difficult to source. The R4DS is selling in Malaysia for RM160.00... need to add another RM50 for 1GB Micro-SD memory card.

My #RM1Challenge Trade-Up

Inspired by the red paperclip success (by Kyle MacDonald in 2005), individuals worldwide began experimenting with their own unique trades, aiming to achieve a remarkable exchange. The journey typically begins with an individual offering an item they possess, often of little monetary value, in exchange for something slightly more valuable. The goal is to continue trading up until the desired end result is achieved — RM10,000 value is reached by 31 December 2024. This seemingly simple objective sets the stage for a cascade of creative and unexpected exchanges. As with any unconventional trade, the success lies in the ability to find willing participants and negotiate mutually beneficial exchanges. Participants often tap into their networking skills, social media, and local communities to connect with potential trading partners. The items exchanged can range from everyday objects to unique and niche possessions, each trade adding a layer of intrigue to the unfolding story. The beauty of m

Nintendo Revolution in June 2006

Gizmodo : Amazon.com France has slipped a page with the European release date and price for Nintendo's monolithic new game console, the Revolution. The release date is listed as June 15, 2006. The total, after conversion, would be about $365. European console prices tend to be a bit higher than here in the U.S., but this still sounds like a fool's ransom given the Xbox 360's $299-$399 pricetag. (Remember that Nintendo says its console will be less technologically advanced and thus cheaper than the Xbox 360 or PS3). Based on the GameCube's 2001 launch cycle, it arrived in Europe six months after it debuted in N.A. This leak gives credence to rumors that the Revolution could see a surprise 2005 launch. Either that, or Nintendo is doing some very cheeky marketing."
