Prosidius Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I come here with an important decision. I have JUST enough $$ for a Nintendo DS w/ Mario Kart. HOWEVER this money was originally planned for a Mac Mini in the next couple months. So should I get a Nintendo DS since it is so cool or use my $160 towards a Mac Mini. All Holiday $$ is going towards the mac mini just for you to know... Then the Mac Mini brings on weither to get a PPC one or a 1stG, or 2ndG MacTel but thats for another poll later. :p Vote. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goheels681 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Mac, but wait until the Intel version, since it's imminent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOPAH256 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 yeah. if you can make the money rather quick, get the DS w/ mario kart, and then scrounge up some more money for the mac mini. but otherwise, if money is hard to come by, and you only want one game, hold it back for the mac mini.

Dotdot Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Keep in mind that if you want extra oomph for your Mac Mini it wil cost, if anyone Uk side has seen the Gadget show you,ll know what I mean.. else get the Ds Mac Mini - Cool, plus Osx etc , but will cost more in upgrades etc DS - Cool, Mario kart, but also more $$ on games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebaz Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I say you save your pennies for the intel mac mini which will hopefully be coming around in January. I think it's better purchase. You will get more out of the mac than the DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NienorGT Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Mac Mini... o.O Hey, you compare a little DS (Witch is a N64 handled with 2 Screens) to a full operational Mac Computer... I don't know but it's like to compare the taste of an apple with an orange... Nintendo DS, play little games anywhere MacMini, Play stuff like Unreal 2004, listen DVD, MP3, browse the Net, Chat, do your homework... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkishdelight Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Out of the two, get a Mac Mini. Then again, I'm not much of a gamer ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosidius Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Well if I did get the DS I would have to rely on $500 for the holidays and my b-day. While yes I have gotten that much + more in recent years I don't think I will this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Perhaps you should tell us or find out yourself, what you plan to use either for. i.e. If you had a PC, maybe you'd be just as happy switching to Linux :/ Have you had portable consoles in the past, where would you plan to use it, or is this more of a fad?

Echilon Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I'd say wait for a bit until you have enough money, then get something worthwhile like a PSP, XBox 360, or a small laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pot Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 It totally depends on what config you have currently. If you have a decent computer and can wait till the Intel based macs come up you can save the money till then or go for a Nintendo DS. If your config has gone old n all and you are in need of a computer fo for Mac Mini (common sense :p ). I voted for Mac Mini though.
