Re: Looking for Help with Nintendo DS and Lite

My five year old loves his ds lite - if your thinking of using it for the plane the last time we visted Australia the battery ran out after about five hours - he was gutted as we'd brought him a new game for the journey! Anyway, I've just brought a back up thing (link attached to UK ebay) which you can put normal batteries in - i'd definately recommend it for the journey.

You can also buy an emergency charger for the ds lite - I got a new one off ebay a couple days ago for £4!! It's good as it plugs into the nintendo and you put AA batteries in it so when the nintendo battery runs out on the long flight (as happened to our five year old five hours into the flight - he was not happy as he had a brand new game!!) you have a back up.

Seller on Ebay is biggerworld, if the link doesn't work.

OH said that they are now offering 20 games with Nintendo.

When OH bought last Christmas, he got to choose some games as part of the deal. We were more than happy with what we got.

It may be that if you have 2 girls that there will not be as much choice, but definately better, (IMO) than paying $30+ per game.

Hope this is of some help to you.

Sorry if this sounds short, we are having our first domestic since 1998! Please beam me out of here!

LOL!

M ;-)

Fantastic, thanks for that. Hope the domestic's over

So, where do I begin? What's the difference between a DS and a DS Lite? Are the games interchangeable between both consoles?

Just looking into it just now as loads of games are half price in the sales just now. Prob won't buy that actual consoles til nearer the time to get most of warranties etc.

We have the original DS and the DS Lite at home. The DS Lite is much finer and nicer altho they both perform the same functions. I buy games from www.cduniverse.com in America. Against the GBP it works out cheaper, I don't know how cost effective it will be against the AU$ but you should check them out anyhow.
