24

Comments

  • Another DS vote here, we have all consoles being a family of gamers but my 10 year old daughter loves her DS the most, and its the one all her friends have as well.

    games to look out for are..
    cats and dogs best friends
    mario kart
    animal crossing

    i used to work on the games department at virgin and i can say without a shadow of doubt get the DS. The graphics may not be as good as the psp however in terms of gameplay it is far superior. in terms of practicality you have less chance of breaking a cartrage over then scratching a disk. also the DS has wifi which is great for her to play with her friends. hope this helps

    I'm supposed to be buying my sisters DS off her at Christmas and wanted to ask some questions about the R4 (but wasn't sure about the legality of it for on here).

    Wheres the best place to get one (as I've seen prices ranging from £20-£35, is there any difference?) and what sort of size memory SD card do you need?

    How about a Teddy for a six year old?

    I got mine from Deal Extreme, they cost around $32 (under £20) and then you'd need to get a 1 - 2GB micro SD to go with it.
