I've already posted this on another thread, but felt it was worth mentioning over here.

Thanks to redroo555 for highlighting the Woolworths offer.

Went to Woolworths and got a DS and Lego Batman for £93 (the £104.99 bundle but Woolworths didn't have stock of either game so was able to substitute).

I then went to Tesco and got another DS but with a free Mario Kart game for £96.97. Other free games are available in Tesco, but the offer isn't on display.

The 8 free games are

Lego Indiana Jones
Mario Kart
Spore Creatures
High School Musical
Viva Pinata
Nintendogs Labrador
Cooking Guide - Can't Decide What To Eat
Star Wars - Force Unleashed

I'm trying to obtain a pink one with the labrador pack. Looks like I'll have to find the time to locate a Tesco store that are doing this deal!

Was hoping it'd be available online!

The Tesco deal expired on 23/11/08 I was told today.

Just bought a Turquoise one with Brain Training Game for £99.99 from HMV in store. Probably not the cheapest, but I now have it in my posession. I was going to buy it online but wanted to guarantee that I have it for Christmas. Not money saving but risk aversion of having a disappointed child at Christmas.

Just watch out on Amazon for all the alternative sellers trying to cash in at the moment (when it says "In stock. Dispatched from and sold by...")

Leeches like 'MrTronics', 'discountdiscs' and 'Accessory-Shop' etc are trying it on with prices 50% higher than normal - in the hope they'll catch out people unaware they can get consoles elsewhere at normal prices even when Amazon is out of stock.

Who knows what they'll charge if stocks dry up nearer Xmas - double, triple. Yeah, Merry Xmas MrTronics!

I got mine in Tesco yesterday (24th) so it certainly didn't expire on 23rd.

Well the Tesco showed me the display box that advertised the offer and it said until 23/11/08. I expect you were lucky that the store you went to did not spot it. Could be more Tesco stores where they still selling with this offer - happy hunting.

HMV are expecting more stock very soon so could be as sign that the retailers are being restocked by the distributors so cold be some more offers on DS Lites soon - fingers crossed.
