Default Nintendo testing interactive fan network at Safeco Field

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slu...v=ap&type=lgns

SEATTLE (AP) -- Ballpark essentials: hot dogs, peanuts, a well-worn glove and ... Nintendo's portable gaming device?

The Redmond, Wash.-based company is making a pitch to turn its portable DS Lite into a baseball staple, bringing interactive technology to fans through a pilot program being tested this season at the Mariners' Safeco Field.

The innovative program is called the Nintendo Fan Network. For a fee, the network uploads a program onto the user's DS Lite and allows fans to order food and drinks, watch the live television feed of the game, access stats and scores and play trivia, all from the comfort of their seat -- whether it's a premium seat behind home plate or in the top row of the stadium.

where?

I'm not talking some refurbished, last gen, model from Apple.com.

It's next to impossible to find a 8gb Nano or the 80gb video for under MSRP.

I dunno, every now and again I see a sale at Wal Mart or Fred Mayers(Maybe?).

FYE just had a sale on DS Lites last week. 139 and 30 MIR.

Are DS Lites bad to buy used, or would it be okay?
