I did see that Wollies had DS lite's at £80.99 (with the current 20% off) Not sure what colours they had, just tried checking website and it is offline at the mo tho.

Ivykaty44 · 29/11/2008 17:22

ohh i want one

Goober · 29/11/2008 17:24

Woolies website is down.

hercules1 · 29/11/2008 17:24

Spent ages trying to find a sodding red one at a vaguely reasonable price. Best deal I found was argos with a brain gym game for 120.

MelT76 · 29/11/2008 17:29

In stock at Amazon Plus free del

hercules1 · 29/11/2008 17:32

That's annoying. I'd have bought that over the one I got although mine did also come with accessories kit.

DoNotAsfinishedXmasshopping · 29/11/2008 17:32

toys r us have a pretty good offer on teh 4 game pack for £150 i you want 4 games. The red one is out of stock online - but might be worth trying a store.

DoNotAsfinishedXmasshopping · 29/11/2008 17:44

\link[http://www.game.co.uk/DS/Hardware/HardwareBundle/\game have red ones in stock at a good price} as long as you want teh games they are offereing. They do have a choice of about 3 bundles though.

iamnotimpressed · 29/11/2008 20:14

Have a look at gamestation website. have a red on with brain training for £107 delivered. Or another bundle with 2 games and accessory pack for £112 delivered.

deegward · 29/11/2008 20:14

£97 at John Lewis

amazonianadventure · 29/11/2008 21:03

My woolies isnt doing 20% off dont know why, I tried JL earlier and was out of stock.

My trouble is my daughters got one so already got loads of games so the bundle with brain training is good buy but I already have that game in the family.

Just really looking for console, was on amazon but they wanted £160 wtf???

There are some threads on HotUK deals which suggest that with some of the bundles you can get a pretty good deal for console only if you are prepared to go to the effort of ebaying unwanted games.

£120 for a red DS and accessory pack is not a bad price...and then you get 2 games (from GAME) which you could probably sell on ebay for £20-30.

Horton · 30/11/2008 09:43

This is more expensive (139.99) but includes loads of games plus protective case, charging lead etc.

DoNotAsfinishedXmasshopping · 30/11/2008 10:02

but you can get the UK version with the full accessorry pack on there and a proper charger and 2 proper games for £120 in Game

Horton · 30/11/2008 12:05

The one I linked to includes 200 games. It all depends what you want.

HappyMummyOfOne · 30/11/2008 12:34

Wouldn't risk the imported one, for a start no protection if it develops a fault I would imagine plus no charger.

Far better to buy from a well known UK company on goods like these.

The 200 games wont be known titles either as its illegal to copy games and the games on a memory card being sold would need to be ones with free copyright.

MerlinsBeard · 30/11/2008 12:34

where do you put the SD card? Mine doesn't have that option, and why no charger? surely the chargers come in the box?

It looks a bit dodgy horton to me at least

DoNotAsfinishedXmasshopping · 30/11/2008 12:39

Yeah - but they will be 200 poor quality arcade games. They will be nothing like mario and so on...or they will be poor illegal copies.

It may not even be a PAL version console (it is not clear) which means that you wouldn't be able to play UK sourced games.

Sorry - but I think that what you are getting there is very expensive for what you are getting.

MerlinsBeard · 30/11/2008 12:40

the list oif games is linked at the bottom of the page

DoNotAsfinishedXmasshopping · 30/11/2008 12:41

MOM - it has no charger because it is not a UK machine - and there is no point supplying it with a non 3 pin plug. It may even be illegal to supply it with a non UK style plug....

MerlinsBeard · 30/11/2008 12:43

ah right

does that mean that those 200 games are the only ones you will ever be able to play o that ds? (do DS games have regions like dvds?)

Horton · 30/11/2008 12:59

Ah, didn't know about maybe not being able to use UK sourced games. That makes sense, thanks. The list of games looks pretty good, apart from that problem.

MrsWeasleyLovesSantasSack · 30/11/2008 13:11

I bought 3 of my DC's DSs from abroad 2 years ago and they were fine, the 1 I got in the UK developed a fault on boxing day

amazonianadventure · 30/11/2008 21:11
