Nintendo DS Lite Questions

I am looking at getting a Nintendo DS Lite. I have found one for £73 which is listed as

Nintendo DS » Nintendo Onyx DS Lite -220-240V (NDS)

Also , in the Blurb it says this

Release Date: 09-12-2006
Mfg. Part Num: 230335
Publisher: Nintendo of America
Region Coding: NONE
UPC: 045496717742

So using that info. Can you answer this question :

Will this only accept Uk games or if I buy games from Florida when I go there in a few weeks, will they work?

Ok - is there a place that you can buy games dirt cheap though? How much is the cheapest place you know of charging for a game, including postage. Thanks

many many places shop around bud.

Do think they will be cheaper in USA or Japan compared to UK if you happen to be there

Yes, the games will be cheaper in the US than in the UK. Just check the popular UK gaming websites, then Google the equivalent ones in the US and compare the prices.

ps - for what it's worth, I'd spend the extra few quid and get a DS Lite - the one you quoted sounds like an old DS mk1. Not only is it slightly smaller (the console, not the screen) and more compact, but the screen is brighter too.

The best sites to buy DS games are foreign/import sites that ship to the UK. You can pick up games for around 20 quid and shipping isn't that much generally. Shame I can't say where, but there are some great sites out there.

I'm not a big fan of eBay for games. I've bought GBA games from there before and they were so obviously knock-offs. If I wanted cheapness I'd just chip it.
