Animal Crossing. They're all the same, but the instruction may be in a foreign language. It's properly addictive!

You could get an R4 DS cartridge, then ALL games are free!! EDIT *Doh, beaten to it*

You can buy a ds card which has 80-90 games on it. And not a load of shitters, mario & sonic at olympics, that one youve mentioned above, all brain training games etc. Costs about the price of 2 games. Dunno where youd buy one here but. I got one in tenerife on holiday. Its great! Obviously its not very legal

^ Load of cobblers, they can't damage the DS in any way. Amazon is as good as anywhere to get them.

R4 or M3 are the best to get, the new DSTT cards aren't all that brilliant as got firmware issues.

But they've sold out and, like eBay, Nintendo have given them a stern telling off! And I agree about the 'damage' comment..



Oh and Slowpoke - I'm most definitely NOT Fudgey!

I suggest you report the 'lad' to the authorities right away! And while you're reporting him, best you tell us what site he mainly uses to get games off, so we can all make sure we avoid it!

There's so much traffic O2 wouldn't notice.

It hasn't been deleted, but has been 'tucked out of the way' in the Games section.

this one here :- http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16929

says it supports 4GB to 32GB cards, kind of stoopid question but does that mean my 2GB card wouldnt work with it ?

am i better off just getting a 4GB card just in case ?

From what I've read/been told, they generally don't like working with the bigger cards, and 8GB is a safe limit. It doesn't help that sooooo many cards are counterfeit too!
