Nintendo DS pricing problem. Please help!?
I've been to various parts of the UK for a variety of reasons, and have been trying to buy a Nintendo DS or DS Lite. Every shop I went to (where it's available) sold the DS Lite for £100 and the DS for £65, the latter regardless of condition. Is there some sort of cartel/price fix going on with this? What's happened to competition in this country? It's an amazing coincidence that all shops have it at the same price, including different companies, large stores, small stores, etc. Anyone know where I might get the best deal on either console? I'm looking for 2, 1 each for my partner and I.
I've looked on US websites and they have the lite version at $130, which is around £65. Why aren't they that price here, in the UK? Rip Off Britain strikes again!
New information. My fella and I went to Cash Generators in Middlesbrough, and managed to find a DS Lite, pre-owned, for £65, which we thought was a bargain. We snapped it up, quickly.

Hardly any stores sell the original DS so the £65 that you have seen for the DS (not DS Lite) could be a pre-owened one.
I want a DS and have looked in Game today. In there, the DS Lite is £100, pre-owned DS Lite at £80 and pre-owned original DS is at £70.

I think it is a case of price fixing,you could shop around to try to find a deal that will throw in a free game or travel pack,usually Argos offer a half price travel pack if they ever have any in,try play.com they may have some,it is a great little console for the money and a bargain at £100

To the best of my knowledge Nintendo determined the price. The prices are consistent among stores in the U.S., too. If you want one cheaper, I suggest you get it used. Sorry.

possibly your sister opened it up till now and grew to become into enjoying it without all people understanding, then intently wrapped it back up each and every time or somethin. sueing them for this could be retarded nonetheless. in basic terms flow back each and every hour or protest in front of the save.
