    GAME are selling the DSi for £149, so with trade in would cost £75

    We bought our daughters a DSi each. They are great. They love the cameras and photo software. They can go online with them and you can also download games from the DSi store straight onto the machine. They have hardly put them down since Friday and they have had Ds's since they came out. So far I reckon they were well worth the money and I'm glad we upgraded.

    And by next weekend they will bored with them.

    It is just like anything new. It is played to death and then it gets old and boring very quickly.

    As far as I've heard, Game are sending customers away who didn't pre-order (definately our local store). Argos - £149.99, and if you buy the accessories kit (£20) you get a free new-release game worth £30 (vast selection). Or just buy the DSi and get the kit for free (but offer ends Thursday).

    I'll gladly help with any queries - but if you have any problems and need to get some real guidance, go back to your local store or contact customer services (argos.co.uk).

    No way, the DS, especially when combined with an R4 card, is an enduring toy with a massive, varied back catalogue. The problem with them is that they can be too addictive, clear ground rules over usage are essential or children will spend all day/week/month/years on them.

    Presumably, you could buy a broken ds (I mean really broken - that nobody would touch with a bargepole) and trade that in?

    When you trade it in, do you get the usual DS trade-in price plus the discount or does it mean they will give you £75 for your DS but u gotta buy the DSi (makes more sense)?

    No - they will test anything that you trade in to make sure it works.
