    Not necessarily with multiplayer games - I hear some games won't work with different regions in Wi-Fi play. Not sure exactly what games now...

    From the games that I have tried.There are no hiccups when it comes to the region of the game/DS.All went smoothly.

    The only DS to Ds game that had issues was Metroid Prime Hunters demo since it was a revised version that europe received. Everything else seems to work fine.

    most european touch screens ive noticed have the wobbly screen syndrome. turn your ds to the light and youll see the touch screen is really loose. i couldnt find one good one where I work. while my girlfriends which she bought in the states is tight like a tiger. it really annoys me because it makes it seem less responsive

    Generally the games are of different regions so if they depend on both systems having a cart, then there may be problems. American Mario Kart doesnt work with European Mario Kart (I had to play in single cart mode).

    I would say that is excellent value. Afterall, its not the hardware that causes incompatable with different regions of games in wireless play. (so a good price for a ds is good no matter where you buy it from)
