I am thinking I should hold out as long as poss - which will either mean Christmas or next year. How old are your DS's and when did they get games consoles?
He basically wakes up and wants our iPad to play on every day, he is restricted on how much he gets it as its 'ours' (watches films as well as games like Temple Run - but I have parental restrictions properly set up on it).
He needs a new bike too - but has specifically asked for DS3. My only reason for considering is that he is really into Lego, and has recently had a Lego 'Ninjago' toy which he spent 2 hours making - following instructions really carefully. He wants the DS for the lego games.
I personally think they are too violent and to do with fighting (lego Chima and Ninjago) - and I know I will never win by restricting game choices to my own preferences.
how do you deal with moderating time spent on these things once they are in the house? What tends to happen with the iPad is blessed quiet for a while when they play it - then full on power boisterous fighting when they turn it off (he has DS2 and DS3 to fight with).

to think if I buy Nintendo DS3 for DS1s seventh birthday that's it - I'll never get it off him
