Price of DS Lite in Canada/USA?

Any ideas if they are any cheaper than buying one here? My bro is flying out to Canada tomorrow but also has a few days in Seattle and am wondering if I will save much if I ask him to pick me a DS Lite up?

Cheers

It will probably be cheaper, but you won't be able to take it back to the shop.

It might be better to shell out the £89.99 and get the machine here, and get your brother to get you loads of games really cheap (as they are all region free).

Then get any problems with the DS you can take it back.

Thanks for the quick reply.

How much cheaper are the games out there than here?

In the main stores you can pretty much expect to pay there in $ what we pay here in £. So for example, in most high street stores here Trauma Center is still £29.99 - whereas in the US a couple of stores I checked were $29.99.

Obviously if he tries some cheaper places, he might pick up some real bargains. I've seen quite a few games like the lower tier games here (Brain Training etc) as low as $17.99 which is about £10.

Well worth giving him a bucketload of money and a long list of games I'd say!
