Hmm..what hasn't been mentioned here is that Boots has also reduced the price of their Nintendo DS bundles. The silver bundle is now £38.74 with 3 games (Madagascar, Animaniacs and Zoo Keeper), the blue bundle is down to around the £43 with Nintendogs, Zoo Keeper and case. The easiest way to find one is to ring Boots CS and ask them to check the stock for each bundle and find out which stores have them. You'll be lucky to find a silver bundle, though, as they appear to have sold out today. You should still be able to get the blue bundle. There's also a pink bundle that is probably reduced too, as these are now all discontinued lines. Boots also has the black Xbox on sale for £35. There are also different PS2 bundles on offer. I've managed to get the Big Quiz bundle, as previously mentioned on the thread (but it was £59, not £49). Another bundle is Silver slimline PS2 with extra controller, Grand Turismo 4, Sonic Mega Collection and Simpsons Hit and Run - £59.

Some stores will allow an inter-store transfer, by the way, so it's worth ringing stores that are nowhere near you and asking if they will do it. I managed to get a DS bundle and a PS2 bundle from a store that's 120 miles away from me - they are transferring it to my local store for free. To answer one person's question, though - the store was the only store in London with silver DS bundles in stock, but they don't have any PS2s or DS bundles left now. The staff didn't know the stock had been reduced - when they found out, they bought the rest! (Don't blame them!)


Boots CS number is: 0115 9182000

The number at the bottom of this post by me two days back.

I want a PSP and they did a 30 mile radius search for me but I told them I wanted one from any Uk Boots as I will go pick it up by train..Is it easy for them to do a nationwide search or do they have to do it areas at a time

Checked the Luton store and found 2 Xbox's.

However, they were a different bundle that definitely haven't been reduced (I pushed quite a lot and the manager told me thet they had been told specifically not to reduce this pack). Can't remember what the pack was tho (sorry).

Checked for everything else too with no luck.

Carfiff Queen Street ran of of stock of silver DSs on Saturday. They had stock of blue DSs, though. You'd need to call them to ask, to be honest.

Yep, they can do a nationwide or area search. They search using the item, rather than the store.

There was an xbox bundle in Crayford but was marked up at £150

Apparently, someone rang up this morning for all the stock I am after and now they aren't available even though CS say that it is in stock...

I believe they may have just realised and be about to buy them themselves...
