Re: DS Lite from US usable in UK?
Some US games have trouble linking to UK versions, but only some.
For example i have a UK mario kart and my wife has the US version, they work fine. However we also have Super Mario Bros US which doesn't connect locally to the UK version. Hit and miss i guess, but the single player should be fine. |

Re: DS Lite from US usable in UK?
My US demo version of Metroid wont do MP with the UK version.
The hardware is totally region free, you'll need a new charger or an adaptor (I think the charge can take 110-230v). The games should work fine in it. |

Re: DS Lite from US usable in UK?
USB charger + mains adapter for a USB is <£5 from dealextreme.com so it's all good
 (my DS is an american one, works great still, only issue is some of the games if you get multinationailty ones) |
