2 fingers to Game - buy Nintendo DS Lite from Comets - a good bundle deal available

ellives

I'm now anti-Game :mad: (the internet site)....probably totally unreasonable, but feel as tho they've taken the mick.......so bought my son's DS Lite in Comet this afternoon.

Yes, I know, but having researched the market a bit, I'm amazed that an off-chance visit to Comets would reveal some good bundle deals.

£119.99 gets you the DS Lite plus three games:

- DS Cars;
- DS Sprung; and
- DS Ping Pal

(which suit my son but perhaps not you)?

You could also get the unit plus one game for £109 and the unit only for £99 (which shows no saving on other providers so nowt special).





Some bundles are also available on line and of course, there's the 3% discount via Quidco, for example:

Hope this helps....

You've spotted a possible online snag...perhaps it's a shop only deal?

Best NDS deal I have seen is the littlewoods one (I even went for it).

Site price is £110 but you can use £30 first purchase discount to bring that down to £80. Plus you get quidco.

When I ordered mine they quoted 4 weeks delivery but it turned up in a week.

There was also a boots deal knocking around but the discount was given in advantage points (I prefer cold hard cash I can spend anywhere).

Hi

Yes, I was put off by the 4-6 week delivery time plus I'm not a new user, so a bit nervous about them reclaiming the code value (as has been reported on here).

The Boots deal sold out really quickly. Without the triple points, it ain't worth it, plus, I was put off by the fact that it was my wife who'd get the points (her card) and so I'd never actually make the saving!

Swings and roundabouts I guess?

Hi baz8755

Agree that's a great price, trouble is I can't find a code that will apply the £30 discount.

How did you get yours, any chance of posting it?

just a reminder not to post codes on the Grabbit board please, see this and this for an explanation.

Any codes must be posted on the Discount Codes and Vouchers board, thanks

Don't forget the Toysrus deal too... (Bought one from there about 3 weeks ago)

DS Lite
Super Mario (The new game)
Starter pack
Plus any £29.99 game (They told me in store it had to be a game at this price)

Price = £129.99

I think comet are doing a better deal instore. Apparently ds lite & 3 games £119.

Ping Pals isn't a game - its a sort of text messaging thing that communicates between other DS's - however, every DS has a text messaging thing built in called Pictochat. So put Ping Pals straight in the bin...

Sprung is a "game" in which you play a man seducing a woman, or a woman seducing a man. You just pick replies to their conversation from a list, and if pick the "correct" reply you get on better with each other.

Admittedly, you've got 3 extras thrown in with your DS - whether they're worth having is a different matter...

ellives

yes, I agree, some games suit some people and others don't....as it happens my young son loves ping pals - it is def more than a chat thing - there are games etc as part of it too.

it is cheap if you buy it from Comets as a game alone - about a fiver I think?
