ok i ordered from argos.co.uk and my order's gone through! finally!!!

however, the free accessories kit which i also ordered was rejected AFTER i pressed the order button with an "out of stock" warning, which almost made me ring up argos and cancel the whole order (£105 for a pack with no accessories!).

however, the kit looks pretty poor anyway and i dont want my niece disappointed at Xmas, so instead of cancelling i bought one of these soft carry pouches :http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brand-New-Nintendo-DS-NDS-Aero-case-New-Version-Pink_W0QQitemZ8240795909QQcategoryZ91509QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and some of these game cases (cost the tiny DS postage stamp-sizes cartridges are fragile and have their connectors exposed):

(you get an extra stylus in the standard DS pack anyway)

As for games, Nintendogs will do for now, then maybe Mario Kart and Kirby: Magic Paintbrush when she gets bored of that.

how did you order, i tried and got this message about order not being confirmed.

just ignore the warnings that the item is out of stock and keep going, at some point it appears in stock.

this took 2 goes, fingers crossed it IS actually in stock and i get this item finally!

ricflairandy

what do you mean, at what point does it say in stock

The kit isn't bad for a few items (Carry case is OK) but whatever you do BIN THE SCREEN PROTECTORS! When I got my launch day DS I got the kit at full price (:() and straight away stuck on the protection for the top screen. I couldn't understand how to use the Squeeze method at all and ended up scratching the screen protector so much I had to remove it seconds after having put it on. It took 2 hours at least to get the protector off, as it used a sticky glue like solution to attach itself to the DS.

WOW thanks for the heads up..really all screen protectors should be those stick-on-by-static-electricty types, like the ones you get get on the screen of a new digital watch or phone. no glue!!

also do you even need a screen protector for the top screen? it's not touch sensative and it's covered most of the time due to the DS's clam-shell design.
