Comment: I've never had a hand held video game. I've never been too big on computer games either, but since I first heard about Brain Age type games for the DS I have wanted one. I thought it was too expensive on my low fixed income so I just wouldn't buy it.
Then I kept reading about how as we age it is so important to challenge our brains. I have an illness that causes me cognative problems to begin with. So at 52 yrs old I finally decided to just do it. When I saw that $[...] would go to
breast cancer Research I knew I had to get this color. It is really pretty. I like pink but the pink ones seemed more for little girls, this is just right.
I am very surprised and happy at the quality of the unit. The screen is so easy to see and very bright. I got two games to start with. Brain Challenge and Flash Focus. I was shocked at what my scores were. Yikes I should have got it a lot sooner. Both games are a challenge for me. I wish the coaches actually talked instead of the music in the background but other than that I think these two are a great start.
I am glad I went ahead and got it even though I had considered it a luxury now I consider it physical therapy and a medical need.
I didn't want some big unit to sit in my living room taking up space, I hate clutter. This is nice and small and I can take it with me, especially to doctor's apts, when I have to wait long periods of time.
If you have been holding off go ahead. I don't think you will be sorry. I heard a new one is coming out in Jan or so but I didn't need all the new extra features, or cost.
I priced the units locally and on line and they all sell for $[...] or more. Even the auction sites end up that much or more with the shipping. Here you have no tax and no shipping. You also have great customer service if something should be wrong.
I hope I start getting younger eyes and brain soon..I'm OLD now.
