Where can I find the best deals on (?Pink?) Nitendo DS +/- games

45 replies

Sparkler1 · 04/12/2006 20:01

DH and I have decided to get one for DD for xmas. Have looked around and can see the average price is about £100 for the Nintendo alone. Have seen a deal where you can get Nintendo with two games for about £135 - not sure if this is good or not.
Has anyone bought one for their child and where did you find the best deal?
Thankyou.

It says none in stock

Amazon are doing pink ds lite with nintendogs for £109.
I'm not sure if you have to be a customer though to get that deal.

Toys r us have the best value bundles providing the games are ones you want but didn't appear to have pink last time I looked.

Think that Amazon deal is not available. You can order a pink console but it won't be delivered for Xmas.

wheresthehamster · 06/12/2006 22:18

Yep, sorry, I just checked, that deal is no longer available.

Skribble · 06/12/2006 22:31

Toysrus out of stock on line and Amazon saying delivery might not be until after Christmas. Is there any bricks and morter places that have it???

Where about are you Skribble?

Skribble · 06/12/2006 22:56

SW scotland.

I'm in Liverpool, sorry to tell you that they have one about 15 miles away from me in Widnes. If there was any way that I could go and buy it for you I would, but my purse is empty . It would probably get dropped by the postman anyway . I've looked for ages all over the internet for you, but that's all that I could find. White is nice too though .

Skribble · 06/12/2006 23:09

Thanks, I will probably go for the white one. DD is not the footstamping type, I just thought it looked nicer and she loves pink.

Skribble are you anywhere near Glasgow? They are in store at the Parkhead Argos which is near to Celtic Park.

moonshine · 06/12/2006 23:12

gameseek.co.uk says it has some in stock but they are £119.99. I've never used them, personally, so no idea what they are like.

busybusymum · 06/12/2006 23:13

a pink one plus games

moonshine · 06/12/2006 23:15

That ebay one is not a 'lite' one though, I don't think, if that makes a difference to you.

Skribble · 06/12/2006 23:20

37 P&P, I suppose that is still £125.

mysonsmummy · 08/12/2006 17:19

my local game suddenly got them in this morning and wasnt expecting them so they are still getting stock.

i also had had no luck with argos but it has now let me order a black one with the special offer so lets see if it comes on monday as promised.

anyone else????

Marne · 08/12/2006 17:24

I bought a black one from LX Direct a few weeks ago using a code for £25 off so it only cost me £75 but they had sold out of the pink and blue one's. The games seem to cost £25-£30 each new, we managed to get a new game for £15 of e-bay.

I'VE GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a store called Game Shak here in Poole. I popped in to enquire and the guy said that he had run out of stock but then remembered that he had one reserved for someone but they hadn't been to collect!!!
Got a package deal - still expensive though - Got a Pink Nintendo DS Lite, pink accessory pack and a Nintendogs Dalmation Game - all for £138.
Phew! That's that Christmas present sorted.

Checked the website and none in stock now at parkhead.

I have a white one but if I get a pink one I will take back the white one.

mysonsmummy · 09/12/2006 12:23

skribble - not sure what site your talking about. but with argos it says out of stock in all stores but if you go for home delivery it did let me. took my money and hoping it will be here on monday!!

Skribble · 09/12/2006 19:35
