I got 70 quid worth of XV vouchers in 2 euros before. Ragin. Decent deal though.

That sounds like a good deal thanks,
I had a look at the nintendo website and there are 3 types of ds's i don't have a clue about these can anyone tell me the difference.

There is the DS - which is the 1st Gen
DS lite, same functionality as 1st Gen more or less, but smaller & neater.
DSi - 3rd gen, has camera and recording functionality and a few more bells and whistles.

I have DS lite, find it great - and if you get an R4DS, happy days!

Two questions:

1. Does anybody know of a better offer at the moment ?

2. Where is best {price and speed} to get a R4?

I think you can get a used DS Lite for €80 from some of the gaming shops (Game, Smyths etc)
Not sure if they are refurbed or not.

The ones in Game & GameStop for 80 are 2nd hand traded in one, not even refurd's. Don't know about Smiths but there 169 on thier site IIRC.

Just check Thomas St and got the guy working there to ring 5 other stores and there is only three left in total across the 5 stores.

But there all Pink one.

There are XVs all over the gaff - I find the Inchicore one great for stock. Give them a shout.

Just to clarify my last post.
The sales guy working in Thomas Street rang Lenoards Corner, Swords and a few other store and they was only ~3 pink in total available over ALL of the store he called.

e.g.
Lenoards Corner had 1 pink .
Swords had 2 pink.

Thanks OP. Asked in Westside Galway at lunchtime today if they had any left. They had at one at 99.99 (black/no bundled game) and a few "starter packs" of the DS Lite with Brain Training Game (or variant) for €115. Took one of those in black. Happy out. That was the last black one, but there were red and light-blue versions of the starter pack available.

Did you look on the website/ring/walk in and ask?

TriStar6

This post has deal on R4 cards: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055666675
You can get them off Dealextreme as well, good prices once you get genuine cards, delivery can take a while though!

Amalgam

The original makers of the R4 stopped production a good while back, what is out there now, clones and various other set ups using the R4 name.

For the original DS, I would recommend the DSTT, price/performance is great value. Stocked by Deal Extreme.

TriStar6

DealExtreme also sell a mix of real and clone DSTT's, I received a clone from then which started acting up and they replaced it with a real one which has been fine.....

For people looking to get refurbished, works out at 60ish euro from dealextreme. The reviews seem positive, and DX are normally good about returns if it turns out to be faulty.

They have it in about 19 different colours / special editions too.
