Looking for a first release Nintendo DS

[zektor]

I'm looking for a DS from the original batch, probably with a serial number starting with NU40***. Does not have to be complete with box..etc, but does need to be in mint condition (not a scratch anywhere), and has to include the charger and styli. If you have one, quote a price in PM. Thanks!

im not trading or selling mine, but out of curiosity, why are you looking for this specific of a DS....what is special about that run of the system??

also, i bought mine on launch day, and it's serial starts with NU10

Same here, I'm looking at mine which was purchased at launch and the serial is NU10######

Yup, same here.

Ok, then it is NU10*** I am looking for.

The reason behind it is because the firmware is older, and with the proper equipment you can run homebrew and demos. You can still do this on a new system, but you need different equipment, and I went ahead and purchased the goods to make the older system run the stuff unfortunately. I don't have a DS yet, soo I figured I could save a few bucks and make my first DS purchase an older model, as opposed to buying a newer model and re-ordering new equipment to accomplish the task :)

my launch day system is a NU40****

Different locations for those releases maybe? Where are you from?

Gonna be hard to find a mint launch day DS ? I mean anybody who has used the thing has at least rubbed or scratched something ? (at least you would think so)

Good luck anyhow ;)

[Poofta!]

mine is mint and perfect with everything it originally came with... thing is theres one off-color pixel on the top screen at the bottom right part. lemme know what youre thinking of paying.
