Which is the newest/best - DSi or DS Lite? I didn't realise there was different versions.

eBay has the DS Lite Turquoise with Cooking Guide Game for £81.99 and £6.99 for next day delivery. The seller is Argos Clearance and has good feedback!

Oh and you can use Quidco!

Various colours available, choose from the row at the top

Thanks for this, still not sure whether to go for this, or to risk buying a preowned one from game or gamestation for £69.99? They do come with a 12 month warranty, and it leaves me with 35 odd quid to get games for... Does anyone have any thoughts on this at all...?

Buy an R4, then you can download as many games as you like. I would buy the new DS.

What sort of games do you want ? A brand new game is about £25-£30 so I would go with a new bundle. I got the DS lite cos it's for my son and he wouldn't use the other functions of the DSi

Can you give me more info on this please? I have heard about them before but never really looked anymore into it. Is it something I can buy in the shops?

It's a card you can buy (i've seen them online, about £25 with a memory card) and it lets you play copied games.

i.e it's 'illegal'

Yes I was going for the lite, as my little man is too young for the other stuff, plus I believe you can play gameboy games on it as well?
Not really sure what games to go for, he's a six year old boy, so don't want anything over 7+ for him, but he's into the usual stuff boys like - Narnia & Ben 10 were 2 i thought about getting, but no bundles about with them...
Was thinking if I get a preowned console I could buy a few preowned games as well, but not sure what peoples experiences with preowneds are...?
