Puyo Pop Fever PSP should be 2005, by the way.

Do we know anything about Sonic DS besides not being the same as the demo at E3?

It is going to use the touch screen in new, exciting, and innovative ways.

Isn't Gamestop the same company that listed Suikoden III as a game coming to the Xbox?

Yeah.

Another thing, The DS is supposed to come out this year? In the States/Canada, even? Or is Gamestop BSing again?

I remember that! The first time I saw it in the system I think was only 3 or 4 months after it came out on the PS2 and I was like: "What the hell?" That damn thing stayed in there for at least the next eight or nine months before they finally deleted it.

Incidentally, the GameStop computer system is called the "POS". That's the official name.

Multi-store encompassing POS. Funny.

I remember Reggie making a big deal out of it. So, there's probably some merit to it.

All major retail computer systems are called POS, you know. All the ones I've encountered are, anyway.

But the one at GameStop really is.

Yeah, Nintendo says the dual-screened compact is supposed to come out this holiday season... But then again, it is Nintendo saying that, and their release dates are about as reliable as a bicycle made of slightly pasty diarhhea.

Because I can't and probably never will be able to afford a PSP (currently rumored to be atleast 300 dollars), I'll probably pick a DS up. Animal Crossing DS, despite being a port sort of, got me interested. Plus the potential of Wi-Fi Chu Chu Rocket DS is too much to ignore.

Indeed. If a customer swipes their credit card too fast or too soon, our POS will sometimes crash or reset. Plus, the thing hasn't been able to transmit to HQ properly for the last six months or so. Every mornin' I have to open my store, there's always an error message displayed on the screen, and when I bypass it, the system always logs out o' the POS and shows that stupid fuckin' screen that says "THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO EXIT THE POS!! EXPECT A CALL FROM CORPORATE IF THIS WAS NOT AUTHORIZED!!" I hate that damn thing sometimes...

POS is an abbreviation for "Point of Sale", by the way.

Yay, another one! I'm getting good at this.
