Hi there can any one clarify whether the games can be bought in usa for use here,i thought they were standard all over the world,but brother in law is in Chicago this week and promised to get some,however he has emailed to say the ones he has looked at in walmart say for usa and canada use only ?

All DS games are compatible with all DS consoles - even the wifi connection. When it says USA only that just means that's the only place it should be sold so they can time releases around the world (they don't like UK to get any of the good games too soon! grrr!)

As FlyingGerbil says, they'll be fine.

I brought a few games back in September for the kids when I was in Washington DC.

Worked out half the price of full UK RRP.

As above US games will work on a UK console, however there may be problems if you try and link up two DS games DS-DS from different regions. My daughter has New Super Mario Bros from the US and it won't 'talk' to a UK version of the game. I've heard of the same problem with Nintendogs as well.

If you want to get cheaper US versions of games save the cost of a flight and get them from https://www.movietyme.com

just as a matter of interest, we buy Japanese DS games for our son.
Look on www.playasia.com - any that say Japan, and 'region free' and that have english as a language will work fine.
There may be Japanese writing on the box etc, but they work out at half the cost of buying the European version.
Oh, and the P&P on that site is less than £2.00
