Nintendo DS Best Price?

Whats the best price currently?

Not bothered about the DSi if Im honest, looking at buying for my Mum for Xmas. So the DSLite will do fine.

Was plumping for the Argos offer at £98 with a free copy of Curious Village and free essentials kit or something, but that offer appears to have finished now :-( Think Ive missed out!

Cant see any real outstanding offers anywhere else at the moment tho???

I'm after the same. Also just was the expired Argos deal so we've both missed out! Shame as it seemed like quite a decent deal.

Fingers crossed there will be others that pop up in the next week or two.

It's crazy when you think about some of the fantastic PS3 and 360 deals around that the little DS manages to hold its value so high still. Fair play to Nintendo, but annoying for us consumers eh

Sainsburys had the black ds lite with professor layton for £99.99 or the red ds lite mario kart for £99.99. I assume it's apart of the console sale going on, Just ring around your locals to see what stock they have

I'm after the same and have looked everywhere. Shopto have Turquoise and Red DS lites for £89.95 which appears to be the cheapest deal for the console only.

ShopTo.Net - DS Lite Ice Blue - Nintendo DS

I don't particularly want Brain Training so will probably go for this and buy the games I want separately.

if you don't mind a pre owned one then you can get one from Game for £69.99 only red and black in stock at the moment I think

Consoles - Dsi and DS Lite - Preowned - Console and Games - GAME.co.uk - GAME.co.uk

Not sure if this is better or worse than some of the deals mentioned, but I noticed DS Lite + My Sims Kingdom in my local Toysrus (Warrington) today for £94.99. Seemed to be red or black available.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm still holding out hope for a better deal to come along, but maybe I should just go for one of those.
