Nintendo DS Lite: sold out! - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

So my eldest daughter has been nagging for a couple of months for a Nintendo DS, so tonight we had a look around online for one.

Only the Ninendo DS lite is sold out from most places. Only shops online I can find it on sale at are small independents selling at around £160+ instead of around £100 normal price.

And fat chance of finding a Nintendo DS lite in pink!

A Google Search brings up lots of shopping comparison sites which lead to "out of stock notices", plus the same with almost every retailer.

The one place I've been able to get a Nintendo DS lite ordered online for normal price, or near enough, is Dixons which apparently still have a bundle in stock for around £120 which includes Ratatouille and some starter pack.

Either way, been a fun evening, but unless Dixon's are fibbing on stock levels, hopefully we should be able to get something in on time.

Hi they have some on amazon and pink when i looked at 7.45 am . good luck .

Yep - but Amazon is sold out, so only the third party sites are selling from there, which means around £150+ for a DS lite.

Actually, Dixons are now showing as sold out, and my order has yet to process. This could be bad.

Brian, take a look here, haven't ordered from them, though.

This game console is fully compatible with all Nintendo DS games.

£92.41 free delivery, but 110V though.

It's the Japanese version, which isn't ideal - but no worries, just found the local Woolworths has a few left in stock.

edds · 29-11-07, 12:46 PM

Grab one quick, then, lol. The YesAsia site has instructions to convert to English (if your woollies has actually run out by the time you get there).

hi brian why dont you try ebay as they seem to have lots of nintendo ds consoles incluing lite and they might just have one in pink
try the ebay site anyways to see if they have any

brian · 29-11-07, 09:34 PM

Woolies: £109 + second game for £10.

Seems to beat most of the available prices I'm seeing.

edds · 29-11-07, 09:38 PM

Did you get one? I'd certainly be tempted (if daughter didn't have a DS) cos it's in yer hand at the till when you're handing the cash over and not half way around the world, lol.
