    Well ...

    Its £87.99 for just the console at https://www.amazon.co.uk. Alternatively, there is a Mario Kart Bundle for £97.99 (basically, Mario Karts game for £10). http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000BYW6B6/qid=1146938563/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/026-3650194-3222863

    Just done a quick search. Apparently it came out in Japan in March so if you don't mind an import you can have one now. I read on a DS forum that its due here either May or June with a price of £135 (for just the console) the poster wasn't sure. Looking at pics though I'm not sure I like it much, but maybe I'm just used to mine :D

    Lol, I've just put mine back on Ebay, they go for around £60-80 on there depending on accessories/newness etc.

    I knew you could play with people from other countries on Wi-Fi but I had no idea you could actually talk to people too. I wondered who my 13yo son was talking to in the other room yesterday. :o

    Do you mean a DS or DS Lite? I bought a DS but am thinking of selling it on ebay and trading up to the DS Lite when it comes out. I am one of those people who has never played these before and want it to try out the brain training games which are coming out soon! I just liked the look of the DS Lite but am not really sure what the difference is otherwise. If you buy an imported one will it work with UK games?

    Problem with packages is - are those the games you would choose if they weren't bundled?

    Sometimes best to find the cheaper console provider and see if they discount games you really want - if added to the console at the time of purchase. Think Amazon do this, to a degree, and they are the current cheapest console only supplier on Pricerunner. Provided you want silver - see also here for pink and blue!!
