Nintendo DS

[Galronix]

Anybody got a DS they don't want??

My grandson wants one for xmas but I'm reluctant to get him a new one as he can be a bit clumsy at times.

have a look on Ebay, not looked myself but I bet theres a few on there for sale, I got the little girl one for Xmas a new silver one for £99 shes only 6 but really careful with her toys so im sure its money well spent.

or Game might do pre-owned ones for a lot less?

German m8 of mine got a Wii from Germany and it was chipped

so he just downloads his games

There is a gamestation in Leicester that i walked passed today on way to work and they had a sign in window saying Wii was in stock.

you can order 2nd hand Wii at the website i gave above for £290 and it tell you which city in England has them, not sure where Norn Iron is but it says you can buy online so you might be in luck?!!

On a slightly different note I was down at our office last Wednesday/Thursday and I saw the guy who dost the vast majority of the European runs on our firm.

Walked up to him and I saw the backseat of his car full of Nintendo Wii's. Turns out there is shitloads in stores in France and Germany and so he bought 300.

The vast majority are being passed on to Phones 4u but he's also flogging a load on E-bay.

Half of me is jealous at not having the opportunity to make some cash of these myself but half of me is disgusted that Christmas has come to this.

Mental.

Buy him something else and wait a few months. PS3s have started to outsell Nintendo Wii's for the first time, which means that Wii's will be coming down in price drastically at some point in the near future. Even if I'm wrong you still won't be paying the christmas premium. It's nuts.

My ex is getting a Wii for my daughter from Germany as her sister is in the Army there and the Ex and my girl are going over for Xmas.

i was thinking about doing that, he says if i cant get hold of a Wii he wants the X box 360, which are in all the stores arond here, and would be easier to get hold of

[donna1]

to be honest i dont know what to do, ive not got long left really, do i try and hold out and wait to see if the i can get hold of a Wii, or do i buy him the x box which i could go and get today, all hassle over with and im no longer stressing out about it
im not into the game consoles so im not sure what the xbox,s are like

[Carl]

If you do plum for the Xbox try to get the Xbox Elite.
Its the black ones and less likely to breakdown due to over heating.

you can get 1 for about £320 with 2 games.

I've heard that the Elite stuff is a bit crap. They say it doesn't bring any improvements except the 120 gig drive and some HDMI support thingy. And you don't really need a 120 gig drive, do you?

I've also seen a couple of elite owners still complainin about overheating. Well, doesn't really matter i guess.. even if it gets broken down you can go and return it so they'd give you a new one.
