USA Nintendo DS

The price of a DS is cheaper in the USA compared to the UK (Approx £65 + tax). I will be in the US later in the year and am considering buying one there.

Are there any disadvantages buying one in the US? I assume that the warranty will be US only and that I might have a problem with the power supply being 110V. Are games country specific to the DS?

    On a recent trip to NY I bought my good lady a DS. oddly enough she didnt want a standard colour one ooooooooooooh no she wanted a japanese lilac one, anyway even then it was still cheaper than a normal UK one.

    Anyway the games are non region specific and you can get a new charger from GAME for approx £7.

    all the best
