    Regarding all the R4 talk - I thought this was money saving expert, not thievery expert?

    Having played a lot of games on the DS I personally think the real theives are the games companies and shops that sell that dross at £30 a pop, some of the games for the DS really are crap and to pay £30 for some of those really is daylight robbery then the pittance you get for trading games in puts me off buying them in the first place.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Game are offering £75 trade-in for the DS Lite when you get a DSi for £149 - not sure when you have to relinquish your DS lite though (at order or collection?), or if the £149 is a bundle or just the console.

    Saw the offer in Milton keynes yesterday.

    There are loads of places to get them.
    I use deal extreme.
    The R4 is a pretty old card but still works.
    I use the DSTT card as some games you need to slow them down so that the DS can read the ROM and the TT allows me to do that.
    Have most Rom games for US/Europe so will not be changing to new DS

    I received our DSTT cards yesterday for my 2 sons and WOW is all I can say. I was pretty dubious about it at first but within a couple of hours of fiddling around they have approx 20 games each on their DS's, saving me an absolute fortune. :j And they are really REALLY pleased with them, got all the games they wanted and more. They were pretty bad at looking after all their games, leaving them lying around - drinks spilling on them, now we shouldn't have that problem. Great stuff!

    just done my order at my local game

    trade DS in on the day for £75

    £20 deposit

    they did say that they would only be getting in enough stock to cover pre-orders only as well

    nice bargain getting a trade-in at that price....

    Just had an email about this, you can order online and have £50 cash or £75 on a game card to spend in store.

    My question is if you preorder instore can you use the £75 towards the cost of the DSI? As you can't if ordering online.
