DS Flash Equipment > quick question about which firmware a DS has...

I kinda broke my other DS by stepping on it so I need a new one.

Now I doubt I could find the Metroid Demo boxes still, so is there a chance that a barebones silver DS has the old firmware on it?

Maybe I'll just try a used one from Gamestop or EB, anyone know how much they go for?

You'd probably have a better chance new with a silver one that isn't part of a bundle, but even so if it doesn't have the Metroid demo you have a chance of the new firmware...if it's used I would guess you probably wouldn't have this risk though, or at least a diminished risk.

I found a Metroid DS at Costco $149.99 came with Mario64, not too bad since Metroid Demos sell for 10 - 15+ on ebay.
