New Airform EVA Carrying Case for Nintendo Ds Lite NDS Lite
Customer Review: PERFECT if you only have a couple of games
It has been a year since I got it. I only carry a couple of games at a time, so it’s perfect for me. It protects the ds very well on the outside and inside (soft). I was only looking for protection and portability, so I didn’t want anything big. Charger fits well if you only carry two games. Mine is pink, same color as the ds.
Customer Review: Practical case
Not much to say. This case is pratical, and it does the job it claims it will do. ‘Nuf said.

Price: $39.95
Customer Review: Good Protection
I like this case. I wanted something to put over my DS Lite to protect it from scratches and smudges. This case does the trick. Once I put the DS in it though I wanted to take it back out for a second and realized that it was a little difficult to remove the DS. I took my time with it and realized I could push it up and out from the bottom of the case. I did not want a case that would be bulky so I would have no problem fitting it into a carrying case and this case fits the bill. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to protect their DS Lite from scratches and dirty smudges.

Midnight Club Customer Review: Ruined by lazy programming
This game has great graphics, but sadly that is all it has going for it, it plays a little like GTA but only a little, an example of how the gameplay is flawed by sloppy development is that the cars you are racing are all on the same set course, this means that they move along like train carrages down a road. An awfull game.

Customer Review: waste of money
The product is a waste of money. I put it on the DS and now the screen looks worse than ever before.
Customer Review: Tough and Stays in Place
I purchased several of these Screen Guards for my daughters’ Nintendo DS’ and they have worked great! It’s been 2.5 months. The girls play Cooking Mama and Nintendogs and scratch and tap the screens furiously. They adhere well and seem to be doing the job. Though, I haven’t removed the screen guard yet to see what it does to the screen surface but hopefully it’s still in good shape.

Pokemon Diamond is a traditional Pokemon RPG that takes place in a region called Sinnoh.

In the Sinnoh region, there are two Pokemon that symbolize the region. They appear in the Sinnoh reigon’s myths and old folklore. One is called Dialga, and is said to have the power to control time. The other is called Palkia, who is said to have the ability to distort space. The sinister organization called Team Galaxy is trying to rule the region by utilizing these two Pokemon’s power. During your adventure to complete your Pokedex and become the Champion, these two Pokemon, and Team Galaxy, will intertwine into the story and lead you on a fantastic journey across the Sinnoh region.

When you set off on your travels, you’ll be able to play as either a boy or girl Trainer. You will also utilize the DS’s dual slots to transfer Pokemon from the GBA Pokemon games and be able to link up with Pokemon Ranger to access more special content. Pokemon fans have caught glimpses of Mime Jr., Lucario, Munchlax and Weavile in Pokemon movies, and these Pokemon will be debuting in this adventure.

Customer Review: Pokemon
My son was very happey at the speed of the shipment and that it was with the nintendo ds system
Customer Review: Have You Bought This? If You Have, You’ve Been CONNED
This game is only for people that have NEVER PLAYED pokemon before. Only then will it be a decent game. If you’ve played pokemon before and just bought this because of all the new pokemon that came out and the new adventure etc etc, if that was your reason then sorry to say but YOU’VE BEEN DUPPED, TRICKED, CONNED, FOOLED!! Nintendo (game freak) sure got you. I’m not bashing their name for nothing, I’ll list you all the reasons why this idea is indeed based on something. Slap a new name on an old game. Pokemon diamond is almost the same old game as when it first came out. Being on the new DS, you would expect it to at least upgrade its graphics and utilize the DS’s full potential more. The only differences are: The towns look different, pokemon attack you more, different types of pokemon, different types of people, different bad guys, more tm’s and hm’s. 1. POKEMON: Okay, in this game there are even more pokemons for you to find and….sometimes catch. But here’s the low down if you’re an analytical thinker. You see different types of pokemons right? But if you get to the basics of it, are they REALLY different or are they just the same old pokemons with a different look? Nintendo ran out of ideas for pokemons decades ago so they go into the pictorial dictionary of our earthly creatures and make a caricature of it and slap a goofy name that sometimes relate to the animals real life nature or…not..and call it a pokemon. They are so desperate to make up more pokemons that they brought in everything from dinosaurs to petshop animals to mystical creatures like dragons. Its to the point where its almost ridiculous to look at. Pokemon in this game seem to attack you a lot more, probably also based on ur abilities. Playing this game would drive you completely NUTS if you didn’t carry a lot of REPELS, which seems to be the only real thing that works to repel those obnoxious wild pokemons. Sometimes you can take 2 steps and get attacked. Think about it, you’re trying to solve a clue to get your way out of a cave and you get randomly attacked every 2-10 steps that you take. Just take a minute out of ur day and think of that for a second and see how you’ll feel. Buy some insurance for your DS because I almost broke mines. I know cheating is bad but this game literally begs you to buy an ACTION REPLAY or other cheat device. Why? Because through half of the game they keep having you encounter the same small variety of pokemons. Catch’em all they say? How can you if 90% of the DIFFERENT types of pokemons almost throughout the game belong to a trainer?!?! You can set up your team however you want, but that’s really limiting when you can only catch a handful of pokemon, especially old pokemon from the first game, even through half way in the game?! What is really fun is to be able to raise a pokemon throughout the game. Why would I want to find a legendary pokemon at lvl 50 when I’m practically done with the game? What I really really hate is how nintendo gives you a lot of pokemon like machop, gasley, abra in the beginning. They’re nice but they can only evolve to their final form by trading. That is sort of hard, I’m 22 and I don’t feel comfortable walking up to a little kid and be like “hey do you want to trade pokemons with me?” this is when a cop arrests me and I become a sex offender. I’m not crazy enough to play this online either. 2. DS Utilization: Okay, the DS has a much better graphics engine on it, so why not use it? Pokemon Diamond could have easily been done on the regular gameboy. Use of the stylus? It’s okay but nothing extraordinary. Sometimes its almost more convinient just using the buttons. Don’t expect a lot of interaction using the stylus, its very badly incorporated into the game, to the bare minimum almost. Graphics remain pretty much 2D. For those of you that say DON’T FIX WHAT’S NOT BROKEN, that’s the kind of attitude that makes you sink lower back to the caveman era. Don’t fix it, IMPROVE IT. 3. MISSIONS and PLOTS: SAME O SAME O. Old game with a new name indeed. Missions are basically the same, start in a town, objective to be the best, go beat gym leaders, beat the elite four, then battle tower etc afterwards. The bad guys are back, only difference is their name. Everything is EXACTLY THE SAME. Same with your rival. If you were starting to get sick of pokemon emerald….this is almost the exact version so pick one and keep it. 4. Battling System: EXACTLY THE FREAKEN SAME. NINTENDO, if you were going ot make the exact game and change it a little bit to trick a bunch of kids to buying your game and making you a lot of money, at least make the pokemon’s moves look a lot cooler. The moves have a little more graphics in them but HARDLY anything worth mentioning. THIS IS WHY I THINK IF YOU BOUGHT THIS GAME AND YOU’VE PLAYED POKEMON BEFORE, YOU’VE BEEN RIPPED OFF REAL BAD. WHAT NINTENDO IS DOING IS WHAT THE MOVIE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN DOING FOR A LONG TIME AS WELL. ADD A LITTLE STUFF, ADD A LITTLE SUSPENSE ON THE RELEASE, SLAP ON A NEW NAME AND BOOM, GULLIBLE HUMANS EATING YOUR TRASH. Get a flashcart everyone! You can put all your games on a memory card and play it on ur ds. Saves you lots of money! This is the only thing I can think of now but I’m pretty sure there’s more complaints to be said. Oh yeah, you can’t trade in your pokemon from your other pokemon games until much later when its almost useless. Be prepared to be pissed off when your pokemon that has a 165 based attack power and is 10 levels above a wild pokemon and still can’t KO it with earthquake and its a normal effective move. THat’s how ridiculous it is, and that pokemon has a 70 base def too…RIPP OFF!!!

Customer Review: Performance I don’t trust
I bought this all in on cable so that I could battle my friend on his gamecube on pokemon XD. However, when the connection screen showed up it said to save your pokemon game at a pokemon center. I saved it at the center, and connected at the same moment that this cable was detectimg the connection it automatically stopped the connection and said i didn’t save properly, AND ON TOP OF THAT IT DELETED MY WHOLE POKEMON SAVED FILE, and now i have to start all over. Bah! I wouldn’t buy this cable, maybe you should get a brand name one.

Starter Kit (GBA/SP)


Playseats Evolution Gaming Seat (White with Silver)
With its completely renewed design and double-stitched vinyl cover, the white Playseats Evolution gaming seat puts you smack dab in the middle of your favorite racing game. The seat works with almost all racing peripherals on the market and every game console, including the Xbox 360, GameCube, PlayStation2, PCs, and more. More importantly, the chair is notably comfortable while delivering the most realistic racing simulation around.

Details include a reinforced steel tubular construction that adds stability and eliminates excess wobble, a non-flammable seat material, and an easy-to-assemble design. Just install a game steering wheel, such as the latest Logitech model, on the middle pole and attach a couple of pedals along the bottom (all sold separately). The setup is also easily adaptable, with multiple adjustment knobs letting you move the wheel and pedals closer or farther, depending on your height. Appropriate for ages 8 and older, the Evolution seat is the perfect accessory for gamers who want to boost their lap times in style.


Customer Review: Girls like it too!
I am a 40 year old female who still loves video games, but more specifically…I love racing games, Gran Turismo being my all time favorite.

I use the Logitech Force Feedback steering wheel but had previously used it mounted to a small table while sitting in a dining room chair. That set up actually caused allot of discomfort and fatigue when I wanted to play longer. My braking foot needed to hover in a very uncomfortable position and my husband rarely played with me for that reason. Your legs just ached. Try as I may it was very difficult to mount/place everything at just the right distance and angle for any long term fun.

When the Evolution Seat went on sale for $239 thru Amazon with free shipping I couldn’t resist.

Quality and comfort are both excellent and of course it makes racing even more “simulator like” than before.

The bottom of the chair (it’s metal frame) is smooth and slides easily and damage free across my living room carpet, which is fairly important as it’s a little too heavy to lift and move single handed. If you needed to store it you do have the option of folding the seats back down after removing the pins. You can also remove the steering and foot mounts from the center crossbar to shorten. Luckily I have just the spot for it as I do not think I would care to make such an effort.

Next is comfort…no complaints here! You can adjust the foot pedals and the steering wheel to just the right distance meaning no more foot fatigue or discomfort in my arms from overly bent elbows. The chair itself is extremely comfortable and I am 6′ tall and actually eat. :)

I can easily sit for 2 hours and never feel the least bit uncomfortable. The seats comfort is equal to that of my Honda and exceeds that of my Ford.

If you really enjoy using a wheel with racing games then this is certain to enhance your enjoyment and realism. If you rarely play racing games with much enthusiasm then this will probably end up collecting dust and taking up valuable floor space, which leads me to measurements.

From the seats floor frame to the end of the pedal mounting plate is roughly 50″ (this is adjustable for your height). The chairs height from floor to top (headrest) is 40″ (this is stationary though the seated can fold forward). The top of the seats cushion is approximately 12″ off of the ground, which places this at an ideal seating height to view my LCD TV which is placed on a TV stand. At it’s widest point it is about 20″.

For a little more fun I added the Buttkicker gamer to the chair. In order to mount it I made a metal X frame from 2″ wide, 1/8″ thick flat steel which I sandwich and bolted in between the seat and it’s floor frame. In the center of that X frame I welded a 3/4″ OD steel pipe with a threaded end. I of course used the pipe for the Buttkicker’s mount. I also installed a metal cap to the threaded end of the pipe to keep the Buttkicker from vibrating down and off of the pipe. This is a convenient way to mount the Buttkicker and it distributes the vibrations well WITHOUT any changes or alterations to the chair or Buttkicker themselves. Now there is force feedback in both the steering wheel and the chair itself.

You get the idea I kinda like this stuff ah? :)

Customer Review: XBox 360 wheel needs an adapter
If you plan on using this chair with the Xbox 360 Racing Wheel, in my experience the adapter plate is required. This plate is not included with the standard Playseat, so if you want to setup and play make sure to order both at the same time. Velcro and other home brew solutions did not keep the wheel steady enough for my taste. Also, it is worth noting that the adpater plate is bolted on to the platform, so quick changing from the XBox 360 wheel to another wheel (like the Logitech G25) is not possible without some tools and patience.

Another consideration users should make before purchasing is storage. The chair is large, so when it’s not in use you’ll have to put it somewhere. My gaming room includes a pinball machine, and when you collapse the back of the chair and slide the adjustable sections to their smallest possible position, the chair neatly slides under the pinball, making for a perfect storage solution.
