Who's waiting for a deal on the Nintendo DS Lite? I know they can be picked up for pretty cheap lately, but I figure I might wait till boxing day to see if they can be had for cheaper.

There will be some deals on DS Lites as well as some great deals on Gamecube bundles.

Seems like the going price is $130 for the DS Lite at BB and FS. Anywhere that is selling for cheaper?

Not that I've seen. $130 seems t o be the standard price no one is dropping below unfortunately.

The Rogers offer at $130 (http://boxingday.redflagdeals.com/index.php/boxingday/image_full/13/) isn't bad, but it's comparable to the DS + 1 game for $150 bundles that come up from time to time.

I don't know too much about these game systems. Can anyone tell me what is different between a Nintendo DS & Nintendo DS Lite? I plan to buy the NDS for my son and he is 10.
Please reply. Thanks.

So does the $129 version that is sold come with any games? Or is it plain empty? I'm in toronto for the holidays, but would like to have a game at least to play with it on the flight back.

Wii Sports Pack? Pfft, they should include the Wii itself.

Why would they give you the ds/wii for $129.The wii is one of the hottest selling items right now.

HOLY SMOKES?:rolleyes:
Can people NOT take a joke these days, or figure out when someone is being S-A-R-C-A-S-T-I-C?
Besides, I've already got my Wii (playing bomberman as I type this). I just want to have my DS so that when it comes time to link it to the Wii, I'll have it sitting next to me.

I brought mine out to Toronto for the xmas break with my gf's family. We've been playing it non stop. Today they released Super mario bro and Street Fighter II, which both I've downloaded. We've still put the most play time on bomber man though. Man thats a old fun game. I've only got 3 wiimotes, would like to get 4 to get everyone in on it.

Grrr, brutal that I can't order online at FS/BB for p/u at their stores.
Is TRU giving a $20 instore credit with a purchase? They are selling it for $20 more than FS/BB. I think I want to p/u mariocart or brain age.

I picked up a nintendo ds for my dd last week from RV it was 129.00 and came with a bonus backpack (20.00 value)which I am now told was a mistake, the backpack bonus was supposed to be finished when the 129.99 deal started. I picked up the game trauma, under the knife from VGT and my 15 yr old dd loves it, what other games would be good for a teenage girl?

Well I ended up sticking with my gf, her mom/sis all day and ending up just going to clothing stores. First time ever that I have NOT gone to one electronics store on boxing day. Can't believe it myself! Tomorrow I will probably do my search for a black DS lite. Did anyone see any stores with it today? I'm in the Heartland area of toronto.

Finally got around to looking for a DS today. Went to BB in downtown Toronto, OSS, the FS had 2 white, 1 pink. Went to FS at heartland, had about 16 white in stock, the guy said that the other FS on dixie st had 6 black instock, so I drove there, and they had non in stock at all. Complained with the manager about what crappy service this is to be told to goto one location, and he said that their computers are updated at nighttime only. WTH? So after some more complaining he goes, "well I have 2 white ones in the back". He said they put them there because that people were stealing PSP's. WTH does that have to do with the DS Lites? Anyhoo, I bought a white one, to keep the price protection (as per the managers request) but will trade it in here, or back at home in the GVRD for a black one when I can find it.

I bought my DS lite in zellers yesterday, they dont have it for 129.99 though but they are taking $20 off if you also purchase the Wifi connection usb, so i thought it be worth it. They are also selling real cheap games, anything that is under $30 they are giving 50% off, so I bought like 5 games costing me like $45 for all the games with my staff discount.

So I went again today to look for a black DS lite. I ended up at the BB at Oakville. They had a ton, including white/pink. BUT the price had gone back up to $149. I had the receipt from FS of the white one I purchased. I asked them if they would put the price back down to $129 for me, so I could return the white one to FS and buy this one from BB but they said no. ARG! There was no way to make them budge. Pretty peeved, but nothing I could do. So I'll fly 'gameless' tomorrow back to Richmond, and do my search of the FS in the area to find a black DS lite.
