ajforeveryoung Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I got this at TRU last week in a bundle for $170 with tax. It included 2 games and the starter kit. Has anyone bought this? I need to know if I should get another one for my 9 year old boy. I got the fitst one for my 10 year old girl. Do you think there will be a better deal on BF? Please give me your input. I also want to know if it is worth the $. Thanks, AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedharley Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 My kids love this system! The color on the screen is so much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebirth Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 If it's for Christmas, you can buy it now. If there's a better deal on BF, you can return it. It should be in the range of the 30 day return policy. http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=511488 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachyboopser Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 What games came with the DS lite? DS wants one (the onyx color, I think, is that a choice?), and by itself it is $129, but not sure what games he wants with it. THANKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amez74 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Was this just a weekly sale? I'm hoping tru or someone else will run some similar specials. I need to get two of them for dd 7 and ds 4. They are going to be so excited plus it will make the 8 hour trip to Il to visit family after christmas go faster for them. Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent $200 because I also got the new Nintendogs with a free case as well. There's a post further down regarding the DS too. There's a 45 day return policy so just keep everything packaged, in the bag, with the receipts. It's one of the better deals I've found (thanks to this forum!). That bundle price ended last saturday.

lindabacker Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Can anyone give me any information on this? My 8 year old wants this because of the new Nintendogs thing they came out for it. I'm trying to decide if I really want to buy this for her or not. Anyone think this system will go cheaper than the 129 it currently is? I am buying her a computer for Christmas ( so I wont have to share mine anymore) and this is starting to look like a very expensive Christmas for her. Any information and opinions on this system is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonnegutFan Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 The system came out in June and has been an unbelievably brisk seller, so no, Nintendo will not lower the price this holiday season. Keep in mind that the system does not come bundled with games, and the average price of each title is about ~$34.99, you may, however, find some nice deals on games this Black Friday.

Any information and opinions on this system is appreciated.You might want to consider the original DS as people are thinking they might go on sale. I have the original (I'm 54 and DH/DD got it for me for my birthday about 1.5 years ago) and I have no problem with it at all as far as screen brightness, etc., but I do like the bigger stylus on the Lite because of some arthritis in my hands. So I just bought some spare ones and use them with my DS. Since she is only 8, she wouldn't have that problem. Not the latest version, of course, but it might be something that won't break the bank for you. BTW.......I just bought Magnetica and love it!! Of course, I love Zuma on PopCap, so this is just a fancier (and much harder) version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickied527 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I am trying to find a reasonable one for my 10 yr old daughter. She wants the pink one, and the Nintendogs game.

tal919 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Check out walmart.com. They have a bundle called "Customer's Choice" -- you pick your DS, choice of game (3 games are at no charge, several others are an additional $10) and either a carrying case or a car charger for $149.65.

VaderGCP Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 No way they let you choose ANY game. There's gotta be a select few to choose from. A DS and Mario Kart together would retail for about 160ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neliak98 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 The walmart bundle lets you pick from a list of about 10 games which game to include...my dd of course wants nintendogs which costs extra...why can't they ever be easy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
