Do you buy DS games or download them?

Well if you get a flashcart the games play exactly as the originals. It seems as if nobody really cares about illegally downloading ROMs, I've never heard of anyone being punished lol.buy them all theres no working emulator yet that plays as fast or faster then the true thing

I bought them when they first came out. Now I've lost motivation to buy games. Why not download them?

I think that chips are cool, my friend has one and its looks pretty awesome. Its turns his pretty budget DS into a multemdia player. How this site works is awesome way to get roms because you actually have to do stuff to get roms.Although free stuff is cool.

All the good DS games cost a fortune on this site..so it isnt even worth loaning cuz ull have to wait like over a week just to get the right amount...but its better then having nothing so
I hope I get a minus (-) warning level because I really need discounts on DP Conversions/Loans...

i download them to test them out, and i eventually buy them if i plan on finishing a game, but i never buy them new, i always buy ONLY second-hand/used games, i really don't see the need of buying them new, well of course if you a rich man, why not ? but since i am not rich, but honest, i do pay for games i like, sams with music (well i am a musician myself), i always try out stuff thanks to download with P2P ! i don't waste no money no more for crap album with just 1 good trak on them ! the REAL GOOD artist get my money, the ones who deserves to, get my money, and i happy to give them ! same for games,i find it real crap to pay , here in France, up to 40euros sometimes for an NDS game, that you might actually find repetitive, or boring after an hour or two of gameplay, it is just simply rip-off ! so for games like Mario Kart, New Super Mario, Final Fantasy IV, VI, Castlevania, Adavance Wars, etc... no need to try them b4 buy : they are for sure killer games :obut for unknown titles like Touch the Dead, Dusk Hotel Room 215, Cooking Mama, i really just had to d/l them and try them for an hour or two, and then decide if i was going to look for a good deal on the second hand market.what i find really cool is that we don't have to take dozens of cartridges with us travelling, only one card in the slot 1, another in the slot 2 and here we go, we can play a whole bunch of NDS games and GBA games ! same with music on MP3, no need to bring pouches with hundreds of CDs when we travel, an iPod do just fine ! for me this i s one of the main reason I have my R4, i went traveling for 4 months with my DS Lite in Oz and NZ, and i never had to switc cartridges once ! and i even got to try out new titles on my way. wonderful ! no time to get bored on the kiwi bus or hitching on the back of a car... always good games to enjoy :oas i said b4, i am a musician myself, i do the same with mp3, but i always end up buying the CD, if was to be played up to 70%. i always have the original if they are playing on my car radion or my mp3 player. P2P and other d/l is a real good way for honest and of course us, "not so rich" ppl to discover new stuff without wasting our hardly earned cash. i really don't find it does so much of harm to any industry. as long as d/l are used SMARTLY with RESPECT, by honest ppl with a good spirit, it wil only help to get things move forward. i just hope that the new genration really learn how to use it properly and not just take advantage of it as a system just to get free stuff... that would be a real pity. i really do believe that it can even help expand certain market, and boost sales for the good artists producing GOOD quality stuffs (music, books, games, software, etc) the not so well known but talented ones, would get the chance to be discovered by others, and this is true for all other forms of creation, on all medias.what i really believe : the ones who produce good stuff deserve to get something back in return, only then they can continue and create more good stuff, and even better...

well, like someone said before, you never really know whether a game is going to be good or not, so it's easier to download, and if not put on a m3 or r4 or other type of chip, then to just try out for a while on an emulator. Another thing is, those of us who are teenage gamers, are usually broke, so it takes us a while just to get ONE game, so downloads, emulation and flash carts are really the best and safest way to go when it comes to portable gaming.

I prefer to buy my games, but there are times when you can't depend on reviews and demos to see if you really like it or not. I download but if i like them, i usually buy them when i get the money. Games such as Mario and Trauma Center are definitely worth the $30-40.

I'm downloading my games, but I'm going to buy FFXII: Revenant Wings and FF Tactics A2 when they come out, and anything else that could be worth it.I was going to buy SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters DS, but the game's broken. I might buy a fixed version if they release it soon enough.

I like to download them to try them out before I commit to buying them. Yeah I know it's illegal, but I hate the feeling of buying a $35 game only to be dissapointed. This was I know what I'm getting. BTW Diddy Kong Racing is a $35 dissapointment. sorry
