I'm in Australia and some of our ISP's actually throttle our P2P traffic (usually to about 28kbps), so one thing we do is make an encrypted VPN connection. This makes it a lot more difficult to see what sort of stuff we are doing. Don't know if you can do that at a school situation though

Fantastic game, though I find by level 30ish, it seems to be rather repetitive. If you are having some problems running it at a decent frame rate, I have written up a small article to point out some tweaks to make (http://ttgale.com/article.php/20100120214608212) One thing that I have noticed is that you pretty much have your arm tied behind your back if you are running and AMD/ATI card. The PhysX in this game is hardcore, and I'm still waiting PhysX on ATI. I eventually gave up and just bought an Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX+ for cheap!

- Atari 2600 - Nintendo Entertainment System - Sega Master System - Super Nintendo - Sega Genesis 2 (yucky CD and 32x addon) - Sega Saturn - Playstation - Nintendo 64 (one of my all time favourites) - Gamecube - PS2 - XBOX - Xbox 360 - PS3 - Wii - GB, GBC, GBA, GBASP, GBA Micro, PSP, Gamegear, Atari Lynx, Nintendo DS Original My PC is fairly competant, not so overboard: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93ghz, 4GB DDR2, 1.5TB HDD, Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX+ 1GB I work in a games retailer that handles in "retro" gaming, so I get a lot of it cheap, hence all the consoles. I like to collect them.

I actually work for a games retailer here in ausland, and I have to answer this question a lot. There are a number of differences between the first version and the later Nintendo DS Lite: - The Nintendo DS Lite has a MUCH brighter and vibrant screen. Much easier to see in bad lighting conditions. - An undocumented improvement is reliability and sturdiness. The Nintendo DS Lite has a hinge that holds the two screens that spreads the whole length of the screen. The first Nintendo DS only has a small hinge holding the two screens, so it was susceptible to breaking the top screen off when it was dropped or stepped on. - The Nintendo DS Lite has better battery life. Louder speakers - The Nintendo DS Lite has a smaller more streamlined design that weighs less. - The Nintendo DS Lite has a better, larger stylus to use. The original DS had a very thin stylus, that some people found uncomfortable to hold. Another problem it has was that the pens used to fall out of the original DS rather commonly, without tampering. - The original version of the DS came with a wrist strap and a thumb stylus, but the Nintendo DS Lite does not, so you are going to have to factor this into the price. I will state for the record that I actually own the ORIGINAL version of the DS. I would love a Lite or a DSi, but I don't use it enough to justify the price. However, I recommend that if you find the price between the original and the Lite is similar, you should try to get the Lite first. That's if you are in the market to buy one!
