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

So did I, a silver DS lite coupled with free Mario kart DS* game. Albeit both were a complete nightmare to locate together and I had to ring round loads of stores to find that combo.
But that's what ya get for being a particularly fussy buggr like me :rolleyes: Luckily, there are tons of stores round here!

Anywho - Saw a sign in one store (Rochdale or Prestwich can't quite remember now, sorry) that states the offer with free game DOES actually end 23/11/08. So the person who posted this is correct.. But,...
If you don't mention that small 'detail' both game and DS WILL scan through the CS till at £96.97.

*I actually got the Mario Kart game as it has the highest trade in price, and seeing as I don't need games, this technically made the DS £80 :T Yay!

So good luck if you can find what you want, just wanted to confirm that the offer still works at the tills regardless of the cut off date being Sunday just gone


EDIT: Big thanks to klb's other post on the other forum that informed me to this deal and made me go hunting. Cheers hun :beer:

My daughter just got 2 from eBay UK Shop - JR E-sale: Consumer Electronics, Nintend DS lite, Games 1 black and 1 white and they arrived today. Both spot on tho box on black one was slightly creased. Do read details tho as he does have some that are not in original boxes. Also worth making a slighly lower offer, my daughter did and it was accepted.

The DS I is released in Japan quite soon but it wont be released in Europe for a long time yet. The posters kids will be very annoyed if they have to wait till it's released in the UK to get one.

The DSI is a vast improvement on the DS as it includes internet connectivity and a camera. It's like itsevolving into a smart phone like an iPhone or something.

I can't seem to locate the free game offer in Tesco locally.

Anyone in London been able to purchase this?

The DSI camera is a 1.3 mp camera, and the DSI doesnot have a gameboy advance game slot, as it has an SD memory card slot instead. My children have quite a lot of advance games that they play on their DS. Personally I like it being backwards compatable on the games. Will have to wait and see if the DSi is really that much better.
