[Minniemouse07]

Walmart has a deal right now on any color (about five different ones), two games from a list and an accessory set for $149...online only.

I think the ice blue on will be available on black friday. that's the only place i have seen it aside from the ninetendo store in NYC where i got mine 2 years ago. the screen on DD's broke and it will cost $75 to fix it,which they may not be able to because the casing is also cracked so i may jsut get her a new one...

I'm buying a DS this year for my boyfriend's kids.
Ok, it's really for me - ha!
So I've been shopping around and I'm confused.

What comes with the DS lite?
What is so great about the accessory packs?

I looked at those but I did not see two games that they would like. It was very irritating that they show the bundle with sonic but that is not one of the game options. I do like that with this bundle you can pick the color.

Is this still good? Anybody have a link? I can't even find the DS on their website. I must be doing something wrong.

I can't find the DS on there right now either. Just keep your eyes on the site because they had them for a while then sold out and then they had them again and that's when I got this deal. Good luck!

Thats funny because I can still get this deal and they have Sonic as one of the games???

Great maybe they were out of stock when I looked. I'll check it out now.

Thanks for this!! We needed one for DgrandD in Pink and couldn't find any other bundles in pink!!

I'm going shopping on Saturday. Really hoping to find a deal then. Doesn't matter what color. Am I right in assuming that bundled is about the only deal out there? How do I know what a good bundle is?

 

[luvmy3jewels]

I need to get dd a pink one and have been considering the Walmart bundle for a couple of days. My biggest holdup is that I have to pay tax and shipping, which adds $20 to the cost. The games that they are offering with the bundle aren't (in my opinion) that great.

So is this bundle (when adding in shipping and tax) a good deal?

Not sure if this is what anyone is looking for, but Costco has a DS lite bundle on black, pink or white. It comes with a Yoshi's Island game and an extra stylus (glow in the dark). It was selling for 119.98. This is in Pittsburgh, so YMMV.

Yoshi's Island has gotten good reviews.

I still can't find a deal so I'll just suck it up and pay full price. None of the games in the bundle packs look like anything my son will be interested in. I haven't perused ALL the BF ads, but hopefully there is a better bundle out Friday.

Heads up for anyone with military benefits, the Marine Corp Exchange will have the DS lite for $99. We just got out package of flyers in today's mail but I have not opened it to examine it but I was able to see the DS deal.

Well, I bit the bullet and just ordered a bundle off QVC.com. They have the bundles on 5 easy payments (total price is $198). You get the console, 2 games and a case. I think I overpaid a little, but the no interest easy pay made it worth it to me since I'm broke after our WDW trip!! The shipping was only $3 via UPS also. I also like that it can be returned for whatever reason up until January 30th. I did compare on Walmart and they have a $178 bundle but the shipping was more than QVC.

FYI you CAN use a debit card for easy pay (if need be).

Got my Toyrus order. Pick it up form Mom's last night. They cancelled the backpack that came with the bundle (Still only charged 99 for actual ds) so OK.
Open it and it is the wrong color. Grrr Now if I call and tell them are they going to send the correct color and still only charge the 99?
Oh I'm just not having fun shopping this year. Neither daughter likes the colors coming out on black friday and santa doesn't get the wrong color.

I've kept on the circuit city web site and noticed a store in the area where I was shopping had the M&M bundle Saturday. So I got there and they had 2. I was going to get DD6 something else but DH pointed out that if DD7 got one and she didn't, she would complain even though she hasn't mentioned it. Older kids already have them. Should be peaceful car rides from now on!

Bought the DS Lite at Best Buy yesterday for $129.00. Was afraid if I waited, they wouldn't have them closer to Christmas. Was able to get the last Metallic Rose one in the store for DD 6.5.

My Costco (Long Island NY) has a bundle for 139.99--comes with a car charger and carrying case but no games and I don't think I saw a stylus
