    My daughter has just informed me she wants a Nintendo DS lite from santa for christmas, thats all very well, but i'm just after spending €130 for some electronic dog she wants too.
    I was just wondering where online i would get one for cheaper than getting it here..? at the moment i am onto Gamestation.com and i can get the Nintendo DS and a game for €122 euro - although i havent gone far enough yet to see if they will deliver to ireland, they prob wont..

    Also, i am going to new york at the start of december, would i be better off just buying it there..??i'm not sure how it works taking it home , through customs etc, or if the connections would be different there for like the charger or something, i think i would prefer to just get it online tbh, one less thing to worry about when i am over there..

    any help much appreciated...

    Nintendo forum would be better suited to aid you

    Can you bring back the electronic dog thing? The store that sells them probably sells Nintendo DS's too and you could get Nintendogs as a vitual pet game for it. You could pick that up at a bargin price second hand now as its been out a while and its a relatively short game that sold very well.

    DS is region free so a US one will work over here but you will probably need to buy a new charger for it. With the value of the dollar at the moment, it could still work out cheaper. Going through customs, you could just ditch the packaging to get through customs although its probably unlikely they'd search you anyway.

    Electric computer dogs? Ninteno DS? Nintendogs?

    In my day we were happy with a wooden train set and twenty blue.

    Was looking about at these earlier. there seems to be loads on ebay from UK. looks like they'd work out about £40. At your own risk and all that though

    Be careful though. Sometimes it says "Hong Kong, United Kingdom" to lure people who were trying to avoid buying goods from Asia. A general rule of thumb is also to avoid anything where the postage is more than the actual cost of the good

    No, i've already got her the dog, its nothing to do with the nintendo, its more like an interactive dog that talks or something...??

    just as good as a ds :D

    yeah if i had asked for something like a ds when i was young, my parents would have found some cheaper, crapper alternative that was embarrassing to own and i would have had to pretend to like it
