My best friend is after the blue DS too. I was told on Saturday that there have been no new supplies of the blue one since christmas to any retailer.

Well in the store I work in we've had at least a dozen deliveries in with them.
Long story- from what I gather they (the pink/blue ds's) were originally only going to be special for xmas 05, but they were so hugely popular that Nintendo decided to start production back up again.
I can confirm for sure that they are in Argos autumn/winter cat this year, as is the ds lite in white.

Nintendo reps- DS lite in pink/blue with nintendogs or cars or animal xing bundle?

Won't they just play on the white/black theme of the Lite (In the UK anyway) and bundle it with that new Nintendogs Dalmations game? - Which is a ripoff because adults know all the animals can be unlocked in any version in the first place

They have got standard DS in Argos Clearance in Walsall, £54.99, don't know if that helps you at all.

Have checked with H/O and no more deliveries available of the blue (567/9508) untill the end of june. However the plain DS (567/8602) and DS with mario kart (567/9443) are both being axed at the end of this cat (late july). You might be able to pick up a bargain if you can wait and if nintendo don't recall them.

Thank you very much for the link. My friend went to the game store in Braintree this morning and they had 2 x blue DS with the game she wanted delivered this morning. She's very chuffed as is her son and wanted to say a big thank you to you.

Launch end of june i think (listed as 23rd on Amazon.co.uk). Bundles announced a few days or maybe a week before. The new leaflets are out on june 21st, i would expect the announcment to be in there. The bundle won't be fantastic as the launch itself will create demand, however it's Nintendo so unlike sony/microsoft there will be enough stock to go round (and will be launched on time). Only the white DS lite has been confirmed so far on the stock information i've seen.

Hope this helps

Show your kid this video.. he'll change his mind about wanting a DS Lite.

great videos, i watched all three, must say though although i like the new system i doubt i will buy it as i have the original ds for 3 weeks then put it on ebay i cant do the multi tasking of the two screens :rotfl:
