Zinger549

I want to get DS lite and there about £99 over here. I have a look around and there around £20 cheaper in America. I going America for my summer holidays so was just wondering if I get one over there will I be able to use game an accessories in it that I buy in England

You'll need to get an adapter so you can use the charger, but afaik there are no differences between Nintendo DSs from different countries

Cheers. I'l just have to make sure I get an adaptor

what about the games for it though

Darksun

DS games don't have any regions, so a game from anywhere in the world will play on a DS from anywhere in the world (I'm pretty sure on this, you may want to check though)

Other consoles like the PSP have region protection.

DarkSun is right, but you asked a valid question. games for the DS are effectively 'region-free' i've been getting some from my contacts in the US, saved me a small fortune

FYI the psp games are region free also it is just the UMD movies that are region locked.

are the games in the us considerably cheaper than over here

If you have got a gameboy advance sp then the charger will work from that.
I've just done a search on ebay and there are loads for about £3

I'm sure the charger for the DS lite is different to the normal DS/GBA one.
