Hi guys,

i'm new to the myds forums and currently about to buy a DS but i've just got some questions.

Firstly i was wondering if there was anywhere to purchase the regular ds anymore second hand. I'm not really keen on purchasing one on ebay. I'm still deciding on purchasing a DS or DS lite but it depends on the price i can get the regular one for.

Also what prices are DS lites going for these days? Do they sell them by themselves without games and how much?

Last question do overseas DS and GBA games work on PAL DS's.

Thank you for your help

about $200 + a game or something for a lite. Get a lite, worth the extra money.

Yes, DS is region free, games worldwide work.

They're the main colours you find on sale I know my eb only has them in white & black for some reason but there are some others like the pokemon yellow one.

$188 depending on where you get it but as cham said you can get one with games for somewhat over $200

The DS lites are worth it, plus they have a much brighter screen and better colour over the original DS (in saying that though i'm happy with my DS, whenever i look at my bro's DS lite i'm almost blinded @_@)
