    Nintendo DS sales strong, more records broken

    It isn't just Wii stock that Nintendo are struggling with this Christmas, the DS is also flying off their shelves. In the UK alone over 200,000 units were sold last week!

    I was in Preston on the weekend and Trafford centre during the week.

    Saw maany parents going into the gaming shops in both places and the staff telling them they had sold out of dses and Wii`s.

    If nintendo could make the products quick enough they would be able to double their profits atm I reckon

    Mate Try Ebay. I got mine from the US and it arrived a couple of days after ordering and was brand new.

    The DSes arent region locked just some games are region locked for wireless.

    i got the Crimson/red one for 95 with postage included.

    Trouble is though, it'll be a Christmas present. I'd prefer to get one from a shop so they can take it back easily if they have any problems.

    I wouldn't even mind getting a bundle, but there are none with games that I'd want to get someone. Game had some in stock earlier with 'The Golden Compass', didn't fancy that though.

    A DS Lite, Brain Training and a Mario game or something like that is what I'm after.

    I think gamestation offer the best deals on them but again its about finding them in stock.

    gamestation usually allow you to choose your own games.

    Game might even allow you to choose a different game if you want especially if you swapped GOlden compass which I believe is full price for something like brain training which is 20 quid now.
