Nintendo has the Coins program. Certain games could be registered on your Club Nintendo account to give you coins (25 or 50 per game, something like that). Coins could be redeemed for certain things. Best of which was a 400 coin DS game, Play and Watch or something like that. Just a collection of a few mini-games.I only had 50 coins, because only like... one of my games could be registered, the rest didn't have codes.

I lost all my codes.None of the stuff they're handing out seem like they would persuade people to not pirate.

Thanks. I'm not understanding why they're making a phone that plays games. Can someone explain?

Why not? Who uses a phone to actually make phone calls these days? That's what texting is for! /sarcasm(I refuse to get a cell phone...)

You're talking about 3/4 of the teenage world.
Oh and brilliant idea.

I think I'm the only person in my family who uses a cellphone to ring people. I sacrificed cheap texting to get a better per minute rate.

Their making a portable gaming system that can also act as a phone.Anyway,maybe providers will dish them out for free when you take out a phone contract.....

my phone is almost a portable gaming system, it has hundreds of games including Duke Nukem 3d, Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, a flight simulator, oregon trail

wish the pspphone, if it came out, to look like this, rather than that other one which looks like a hand crafted weekend thing...

it seems like the playstation phone is just a modified version of PSPGo.
