pink ds........sorry if this has been asked before!!

[blossomsmine]

I need to buy a pink ds, but i also need to buy it as cheap as possible!!!! I have had a look about, do i need to get the accessory kit or is that just an extra we don't really need? Also, anyone found a good deal, i have looked at Argos which looks ok but hoping there is some cheaper somewhere else??!!!

I bought one yesterday in toys r us for £120 with a high school musical game and one of the dogs game. I didnt buy an accessory kit but i got a protective case from ebay for about £3.

Sainsburys have them for £99, no idea what comes with it tho.

£89.97 for just the console at Tesco Direct You also get you Clubcard points and 7% cashback via quidco.

I git a second hand pink on in Game with the cover etc and it was £60 plus bought some second hand games that were £15 but on bogof as well (this was back in july )

Thanks everyone What is quidco by the way?

Quidco is a cashback site - if you are purchasing anything online (shopping, insurance, broadband, lottery etc..) visit Quidco and see if the company is listed then click the link to visit the site via Quidco. (basically quidco get paid for directing customers to companies and they pass some of the cashback on to us - it's an affiliate site).

I've earnt over £800 with them

Blimey Off to have a look, thanks

I've heard quidco mentioned before but didn't realise you could earn so much from it!! I'mm off to have a look too!!

It is good, I always buy my insurance via quidco to earn £70 - £100 cashback. Also a lot of bingo sites offer cashback ie. sign up with Gala via quidco and get £20 if you play through £10 - obviously just don't get hooked (or play the free thursday bingo lol). You don't get paid straight away as the cashback has to be validated, so it's a nice savings plan.

In the end i got it from play.com as it was free delivery and other places i tried didn't have it in stock........
Now...........anyone know the best places price wise for the games?? I had a look at Asda which looked quite good but i am determined to track down good deals as money abit of an issue this year

look on here in for sale games section
or you can get pre owned ones quite cheap from game / blockbuster etc

You need to shop around for games IMO.

The Toptoy (like R4) is only $8.49 now

oops, link would be useful here

Thanks

why is it so much cheaper, Bubble? (still not got one )

They've just gradually come down in price - you must get one Soupy, it will save you a fortune!! (don't forget the 2gb micro sd card to go in it only costs around £4-£5). I don't play much myself but I'm really enjoying Professor Layton And The Curious Village it's blimmin addictive!

I've just ordered Prof L from HK (I'm sure it's genuine [cough].

I've toyed with the idea of the R4 things. Where do the games come from? That's the bit I've not worked out yet

What is the TopToy/R4? What does it do?

It goes in as a DS cartridge but the games are loaded onto a memory card that slots into the cartridge. I do not believe it is exactly legal (ie the downloading of the games to the memory card isn't)

It's very similar to downloading music to an MP3 player, just download the game you want from the internet then drag it to the memory card. You can put 20-30+ games on one card. There is lots of info on the internet but as soupy says it's not exactly kosha.

Ah. Won't be any good for us as we can't download stuff.

So you can recommend the DS Lite then? We're getting dd one for Christmas.

I like the look of the Prof Layton game.

Soupy, what's HK?

I can definitely recommend the DS Lite - it's brilliant and there is something for everyone to play out there! DS2 has been playing DS2's DS (god that's confusing) since he was 3 and has very good co ordination.
I still have a spare Top Toy here if you are interested email me (bubblerock jl 2 at aol.com) and I'll explain a bit more.

HK is Hong Kong. Where the games are always strangely cheap...

Have just bought 3 Top Toys (one for each of us!)

Ah. That HK.

I've reserved a DS Lite, accessories pack and a horsey game from Argos.
