    If you're off on your holidays, or know someone who is, HMV tax-free shops had some package deals available.

    IIRC console alone was £85, console+game (we got Brain Training) was ~£97, console+game+starter pack incl. case, emergency charger etc was £106. This was out of Stansted - Dixons tax-free deals were abysmal in comparison - console+Brain Training for £115.

    Its a shame all the bundles seem to have crummy games like Cars and Pirates of the Carribean. Ping pals doesn't even count as a game as the built in picochat is superior in every way.

    Anyone spotted any bundles including a few of the following: Brain Training/Academy, Tony hawks, mario (64/kart/super), warioware touched, advance wars, castlevania, metroid, kirby, phoenix wright, trauma centre, project rub, etc.. ??

    Shouldn't be this hard to find a good bundle...

    NB: sprung is the 3rd worst rated DS game ever. Ping pals is on average rated at 3/10.
    stay lucky!

    HMV have console + starter kit (case, earphones, spare stylus) + any game for £124.98. Also you can get a further 10% off if you take out one of their Style cards (not recommended for all people though)!
    Waddle you do eh?
  • sprung and ping pal are worthless. Ping Pal in particular since it is already built into the DS!!

    The coloured ones are the original DS - a bit more bulky and the screens are not quite as bright!

    Toys r us are doing an excellent deal on the original DS, with 5 games (mario kart, james pond, golden nugget, texas hold'em, and animaniacs) for about £124 but they are out of stock atm.

    I have emailed them to ask if they are getting more but I havent had any response yet.

    If its the lite your after I havent see any half decent packages :rolleyes:
