    These are obviously not selling as well as hoped, as they are already being discounted. John Lewis selling for £135 as well-on a different thread.

    GfK-ChartTrack has confirmed that Nintendo's DSi sold an impressive 92,000 units over its launch weekend in the UK.

    Figures from the games sales tracker show that the handheld had the fourth best launch weekend for any games system in the UK. It came behind only the PS3, PSP and Wii. The DSi outdid even the original DS in its launch weekend.

    Yeah.....I would be gutted too with those sort of figures. :rolleyes:

    Suspect it has more to do with every retailer desperate for every penny they can get, even at the expense of margin.

    As far as I know, you can't because it was made not to accept r4 cards but apparently there is an r4i card...

    Not the old ones, but there are plenty of new updated cards that will work fine.
