What sort of budget do you have? Which colour / games would she prefer? There's this offer on play.com (see also my previous post):
http://www.play.com/Games/DS/3-/308963/2-/Promo.html
It would mean that you could get, for example, a pink console, a Nintendogs game and an Imagine game for £99.99... but fingers crossed your daughter's DS turns up.0 -

I was going to buy a pink DS lite for £85 from Tesco direct, but I have seen the voucher code on here and I am debating whether to use it and try littlewoods instead of additions (or are they the same thing I've not had chance to look yet)?
I don't want to be messed about and miss out on the Tesco offer so any swift advice appreciated re the voucher code etc.
Thanks all.
Regarding your question sweety I hope thie following information helps as I am currently looking into buying a DS and have settled on the lite having read an article on a site called Kotaku dot com:

If you type 'lets-compare-the-ds-lite-and-the-dsi' in Google it should find the page for you because as a new user I can't post links. There are also some pictures of the graphics with the info on the aforementioned site, as well as a comments section full of experienced gamers expressing their opinions - most of seem to prefer the 'lite' to the new one.
Don't forget if anyone knows of a voucher that works or if the previous one posted by upaul is still valid and there was a hitch in geminibabes order please let me know as soon as possible.
I also want 'Walk with me' with 2 activity meters and can't find it much less than the £40 mark so any offers on that would be helpful too.0 -
Can anyone confirm that the Littlewoods voucher is working please? I see someone else's order got cancelled...0
