Free Sydney DS Multiplayer Event - Tomorrow!

PALGN News | Got yourself a DS? Itching to tryout the wireless multiplayer? Then come join us tomorrow - Saturday 2nd April.
Just a quick reminder that this event occurs tomorrow. Make sure you charge up your DS tonight and bring all your games along.

The Nintendo DS broke records to become Australia’s fastest selling console at launch. However, seeing a DS on the street is still a rare sight. As such a few of our community members have been discussing a DS multiplayer event where we can all experience the joy of playing games without wires. The DS’s slogan is “Touching is Good” and we all know how much more fun touching can be when there’s more than one person involved. Ahem.

At this stage the plan is to meet at 1:00pm at the net café called iStarZone which is located under the George Street cinemas in Sydney. Just head towards the entrance to the cinemas and there are some steps on the right leading down to the café. Venue details can be found by clicking here. Just look for the people holding a DS when you get there.

If too many people turn up we’ll have to move to a larger venue – possibly Darling Harbor or Hyde Park. Please check back here for more details before the event.

It will just be an informal get-together. If the event is a success there may be more events organised not only Sydney, but in other cities as well.

We hope to see some of you there!

The picture in the corner is the DS prototype unit!

(that's cool for a little news story like this, but it annoys me that gamespot still use the old pre-release DS shape as the DS logo for the site. Those bastards)

Hopefully I can make it, but prob for only an hour. I've got a band practice!

Unless James is collecting money to get his DS, no icon_razz.gif

Istar is completely free to enter, although to use the computers you must pay of cause.

Now that's an idea icon_wink.gif

No seriously - it's free.

::EDIT::
I've also heard back from the store manager. He couldn't see any issues with us being there, so we can pretty well confirm that it will be the venue as long as we don't get too many people.

Whats the numbers looking like now? it seems kinda dead to me - im coming with 4 friends but only one with a DS icon_razz.gif

Actually it does look pretty dead. The article's only had some 300 views which significantly lower than I was expecting. I would be really surprised if more than 3 people turned up (not including your friends Eve). Dunno if it's worth me going considering I don't even have a DS... I have a lot of work to do... ahhh I'll probably go anyway to procrastinate from doing anything productive icon_razz.gif

Who knows, may be a good turn out - just will have to wait and see

Yea, so when we all get there we just whip out our DS's and hope some other Palgn peoples take out theirs too? icon_lol.gif

Good idea would be for someone to have Pictochat open since some people (esp. me icon_lol.gif ) might get lost trying to find the entrance icon_wink.gif

Thanks for coming everybody! IT was awesome to play a good FPS in a machine that fits in your hand!

OK, so I know who Eve6 is now (my first pictochat buddy!) and also who Rush is (kicked us all at Metroid) and also James the PALGN man, but what are everyone else's username here? And names? I wanna put some names to faces!
