    Although they call it a Nintendo spectacular, I've heard that it's just for DS items. Will be interesting to see if they have any DS Lites for £10 or anything like that!

    Don't want to sound pessimistic here, but the timing's not right for major discounts in the DS Lite. From what I can tell, none of the retailers have a problem selling DS Lite's at the moment.

    I would say that at most, they'll reduce it down to £80, but unless they've done a deal where they must sell X units and they got really ambitious, I can't see any major reductions in the console.

    Cool, thanks. Will keep an eye on this. Hope they clear out GameCube games at silly prices.

    Yes - I agree - definately what I'll be looking out for. Its about the right time for this to happen. ;0) Not sure if reduced GameCube games will be the main hourly highlight, but its worth checking to see if they've been reduced for the day.

    Can you find out what is in the sale beforehand or do you have to just wait and see?

    No, their system only allows one purchase of these offers. There is just a lot of interest.

    Well 40 DS lites all gone within seconds. You have to just wait and see what there is salsa, there is no way of knowing - makes it so exciting!:rolleyes: Although it is hard enough to ever get one of the bargains with 1000s of people going for them - good luck to all!
    The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)
