Says they dispatch right after payment were looking at next week here

Also from official nintendo site...

The Nintendo DS launches in Europe on March 11. But we’re giving you the chance to own the dual-screened wonder weeks in advance!

Personally, I wasn't going to bother getting the DS as I think the PSP is by far the better machine. However, if they really are sending them out NOW to VIPs, then I'm gonna have to order one.

Think I'll send them an email and confirm when we can receive them, even if I decide I don't like it, I presume they'd sell for quite a bit on ebay.

[Tonysoprano]

Yeah i was well pleased when i saw this email in my inbox, ordered it straight away, gotta ring them monday to finish my order (e.g. paying them £130) but hopefully i'll get kit weeks early

Thing that sold it for me was the super mario game and the demo of wario ware ds, love that game, not that fussed on metroid, although i might be converted in about a weeks time

[Sam_41]

Its true, you can get it for next week :thumbs

Dear Customer, thank you for your e-mail.

Hi,

I've just placed a pre-order for teh Nintendo DS console VIP package. As
far as I am aware, the console is released in the UK on 11/03/05. However,
it seemed to be suggesting on the website that the DS will be shipped
within 48 hours of payment. Does this mean I could get the DS package for next
week, over a month before its UK release?

----------------------------------------------------------------

will be making payment ASAP, I assume that monday is the earliest payment can be made. Wasn't gonna bother with a DS, but this is such a great deal I couldn't resist.

Karma give to OP :thumbs

[Sega rossi]

[passion4plex]

:nowords:

[Sam_41]

got my VIP Pak today, just on charge atm. Quite a nice unit, please to see it supports GBA games too.

One thing that shocked me though: The VIP T-shirt that comes with the pak has the words 'TOUCH ME' on the front :coffee: I cannot believe Nintendo have done that, the product is obviously going to be bought by many younger kids- did they not think this one through
Oh yeh, the t-shirt is also size: m which is ridiculously small, where are the XXL's ? Anyway, who gives a crap about the t-shirt!

[thereaslimshady]

received mine as well, some weird things in there though, as i have a usa version as well

uk version you get (with the vip version anyway) 1 stlyus pen and 1 handle/thumb thing to touch screen with, 1 wario ware touched demo UK version, 1 metroid prime demo USA version and 1 super mario 64ds USA version, 1 power supply. wario and metroid come in the tiny little plastic case but thats it, and the touch me shirt with nintendo vip wrote on the back

usa version i got 2 stylus pens 1 handle/thumb thing and 1 metroid prime demo usa version with a little cardboard case and i also bought super mario 64 as well
i sold the metroid prime demo on ebay for £16 , i think i will put the other metroid on there now and maybe wario ware as well as i already have the jap version

[Sam_41]

You do get 2 stylus pens with UK VIP pak, its in the bag with the wrist strap in (was for me anyway), and obviously the other is in the back of the DS.

Wario Ware is a top game, quite a fair few levels for a demo too! anyone know how many there are in this demo?

Edit- got wario ware touched up to lvl 58 so far, it starts going mental after lvl 50. Very addidctive game and I hope there are more games like this which focus purely on gameplay rather than graphics, thats what will save the DS from the graphical might of the PSP.

I'm impressed with amount of playability in the demos, normally you only get about 1 mins worth, but wario ware touced seems like a full game. MP:Hunters looks very nice, controls quite well when you get used to it. Super Mario seems identical to the 64 version which is a good thing.

[Keva]

anyone got a pic of the "TOUCH ME" shirt?

[thereaslimshady]

i forgot to add that you also get another 500 stars points for registering your ds and another 250 for registering your super mario 64 ds, and yes i forgot about the stylus stuck in the back of the ds


slim
i will get a picture up tomorrow morning if no-one else has

[eripmav]

I have over 8000 stars, they're pretty useless imho. Nintendo should do more offers. I'd have snapped the vip pack up too but I imported a US model...

[Sega rossi]

Mine still hasent come yet Size M shirt wont fit as well!! I want XL

[thereaslimshady]

heres some photos of the shirt
