DS Lite 'Secret' Toys R Us Bundle - £129.89

Went to Toys R Us.

Lots of DS Lites in stock - most bundles were around £150 or £180 mark - looks like they want you to pay through the nose for pink DS Lites.

But - I spoke to a nice Toys R Us assistant - she showed me a bundle deal not openly advertised (well in this particular store at least).

Bundle includes Black or Silver or White DS Lite, Accessories Kit and 3 games - you get to choose the games from those on display with a bundle sticker on.

Games I selected were Imagine Fashion Designer, Narnia and the Pirates Dead Man's Chest game (best combined prices for these on-line is £45).

The confusion comes with the games - they are clearly bundled (as indicated by a sticker) but there is no bundle slip for the consule to take to the checkout.

Instead the Assistant had to write one manually.

HTH this helps with the hunt,

    i went into gloucester today and they would only offer me the expensive bundle which i wouldnt have minded had they let me choose the games but i had to have the ones on the ad and they werent suitable.

    do you know the assistants name, ill ring tomorrow and enquire about this? but as you probably know with gloucester toys r us, theyre all simple so will probably take a lot of explaining to them about this offer if its not advertised.
