Buy The World Ends with You and Chrono Trigger and thank me later.

Professor Layton and Advance Wars are good as well.

The problem with the ds is it has tiny profit margins so I've been told, last year HMV were supposedly paying £92 bulk, and selling them for £99.

Which is hard to believe but the lack of any real discount prices elsewhere would back that up.

But there should be more margin at the moment because they will be shifting them quickly as possible before the new ds-i launches in the spring.

In the US they are going for $99-119. You should just import one.
 
Might be taking this a little beyond the realms of some people, hopefully not...

There are lots of these r4/dstt/m3 cards about. Reidy? Goat? Any idea of the most reliable one? I will be downloading the games via torrent (as a back up incase my own get damaged(y)) and been sifting through some of the comments on these torrents and many people are talking about the games crashing and about patches and trimmed/untrimmed cards?

Which ones do you use and have you had any problems?:D

Cheers, just want to make 100% sure before i go out and buy one.
 
Ok, my 2 daughters have a DS each, they got them last xmas, i bought them a card each, but i tried 2 different places. 2 different cards. 1 of the cards was faulty, thankfully it was the 1 i bought from Liverpool so i took it back and they exchanged it, sadly i cant recall what card it was, but they didnt have anymore of them, so they gave me a different 1. Its called a EZFLASH V, my other daughter has got a TTDS/DSTT card, like the 1 i gave you the link for.

Both have 2GB memory cards and i havent had problems with either of the current cards. My son is getting a DS this year, so i ordered him a TTDS/DSTT card and a 2gb memory card. I have heard that there are a number of cards on the market that are infact fake, they dont work at all. Thankfully i have never came across 1 of these, i have tried my sons new 1 and that seems to work fine.

So i would suggest you get this card :

DealExtreme: $13.90 TopToy DSTT Card for NDS Lite + Sandisk 2GB TF


I dont think you can get 1 cheaper with a memory card and ive used it for the last year and no problems. It comes from Hong Kong, so it usually takes about 10 days to come, maybe longer this time of year and it would be a complete bitch if it was faulty, but from reading the comments people have left they will exchange no problems, its just the pain in the arse shipping it back and so forth.

This 1 is cheaper, but it says on back order, so you will wait even longer :

DealExtreme: $11.99 TopToy DSTT Card for NDS Lite + OEM 2GB TF

The prices are US Dollars, but somebody, im not sure if its paypal or these robbing bastards charges £1.50 for paying by debit card, so add that on.

Got a DS Lite nearly 2 years ago and still only have 3 games for it. Not that it's a bad system, but because there is one special game for it that stands head and shoulders above the rest - Mario Kart DS. Pure excellence. It's worth the £100 alone.

the wi-fi link is good, only just figured out it can go online to connect gamers.

Yup. I have over 100 wins on WiFi and a 3-star rating in the game itself. I must have spent over 100 hours playing it to date.

You know you could have gotten him a VDM jersey for the same price.

In the US a PS3 is $399. Nobody is buying it. Wii bundles are $249. Xbox arcade (no HD) w/ KungFu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones is $199 (You can buy a 20G HD on ebay for $40). Xbox Pro (40G HD) is $299 and Xbox Elite (60G HD) is $399.

However the DS is the only console that isn't region specific. So if you buy an Xbox over here you have to chip it or buy North American games.
