shannon91c Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 both of my boys want these, I know I am going to have to pay, where is the best bundle deal right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayhaysay Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 There are a few $149 bundle deals on BF but that's not a good enough price for me to stand in line for one. I'm kinda hoping that Newegg will have a deal on one so I can get it before I head out that morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed on the $119 deal at Target earlier to wait for BF and now I am a little disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfeg Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 The difference is the size, shape, and weight. Also, the ds lite supposedly has a longer lasting battery (the ds batteries last forever anyway). The lite has a better, brighter, backlit screen. If youre getting it for a younger child i'd say go with the ds because its a bit more durable. The ds lite is REALLY glossy so it gets scratched etc. easier. OH! on the ds lite if youre going to play gameboy advance games they stick out of the system which irritates me whereas with the ds they do not.

I passed on the $119 deal at Target earlier to wait for BF and now I am a little disappointed. I used the 20% off 1 item coupon at kmart today and got the DS for 103.00 without games but I can use what Isaved on a few games, then when I checked out I got a coupon for $10 off a $25 purchase so I will use those too towards games, I am happy with that. Neither of my boys wanted the games that came with the bundles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairydustcrissy Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 What they said lol. The lite is much thinner, a little lighter, and has a much better screen. For a young child, go with the DS unless it will be played in sunlight alot. If it is, then I reccoment the lite for the better backlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well slap me silly! ... I didn't know this. Are all gameboy advance games compatible? Are there any other games that are compatible on the DS?

Xfeg Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 just the gameboy advance and ds games work. the older gameboy and gameboy color games dont work because the casing is a little bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
