Tom had a great idea about going to Japan to get a Nintendo DS, and while there, producing a podcast. What would you think about a taking a trip to Japan with BOL? Get us a group-rate at a hotel in Tokyo, and I'll go.

I've already pre-ordered my DS Lite (Midnight Blue) from a local Seattle store for in store pickup on March 5th! Why would I need to go to Japan. (When they come out with the tv tuner/internet, they will have a U.S. version.)

Here is a link for video of the DS lite in action (Japanese)

But I don't want to spend a few years learning a new language. English is complicated enough as it is.
