    There will be plenty of offers between now and xmas on DS Lites. I was lucky to get one for my daughter from Boots, £99.99 with £32 of points which ive been using to get free food+drink. The game deal for DS lite was very good at £49.99 but a little too short lived in my opinion and a lottery.

    There's always one...although you'll probably find alot of them just went to people who only intended to sell them on.

    I managed to get the white DS lite in the 11am slot as I really wanted one for my daughter so I will not be selling mine, it was the only thing I managed to buy, no idea how I managed it though as everything I tried to buy earlier just went

    Well, I got the Boots deal. Would have liked the GAME deal, but its no big deal to me. Getting the Trauma Centre game was okay, but in reality I'd have waited for it to go down in price later.

    I think that whilst GAME's strategy might have worked with the XBox, with such a new console as the DS, it didn't really go down that well. Still, the offers for the most part were genuinely pretty good but they should just have had more quantities. The DS was sold just too few, too cheaply.

    Probably wasn't worth the few hours I did wait for the console. Glad I didn't do an all nighter!

    Until next time.... ;)

    To the people who got one .. well done.
    To the people who didn't (including myself) .. Bad luck.

    Time to move on now I think.
