Nintendo DS

Just wondering if you all thought there are good chances there would be sales on them or should I not count on it lol. I am debating buying one now for $129, but I don't know if Amazon might have them on sale yet this next month. What do you all think?

Ok, well, I know that no one REALLY knows, but I just thought that maybe one of you professional shoppers might have an educated guess... Last year was my first year shopping Amazon, so I don't really know much about these Internet shopping deals yet LOL

Last year they had them on sale for $99 you might be able to pick one up at that price. Right now Gamestop had used ones (they are in good shape) for about $59

ds or dsI?

 

just picked up a ds, 2 games, and a accessory kit from walmart for less than $150

DS is good enough :) I just don't know if I should hold out for a few dollars off or go for it LOL

Walmart had the DS Lites in their black friday ad for $98. I was fortunate enough to get my Target to price match that. I really only wanted the older version so that my daughter could play some older Game Boy Advance games, which apparently you can't do any longer on the newer DSi version. I haven't seen the DS Lites anywhere for less than $129 and haven't seen any specials on them either, which I find weird because they are an older version.

 

Soooo, maybe as Christmas nears, stores will throw out some special prices on the old model. I dunno. Maybe they feel like they only want to push the new DSi though and won't do anything cheaper on the DS Lites. I have an 8 year old and this is our first year into the 'gaming' stuff, so I'm no expert.

 

Good luck though!

You know, although a little bit off topic, I'd assume that the older DS versions (Lite) will be worth more then, the DSi's due to them being backwards compatable. (take a look at ps3)

Actually, I agree with this. The major reason I went ahead and bought a DS for myself was because it would play the GBA games, which I had a bunch of.

 

I have not seen any good deals on them since Wal-Mart's black Friday Sale.
