I think videogamesplus.ca is pretty cheap.. except that they'll ship only via DHL to my country, which will almost double the price of the DSL. Perhaps you guys would know of some other good online place to buy one?

Yeah, they're always out of stock. And they're not that cheap in the first place. And the shipping is murder.

So I wanted to buy a used DS (Lite or otherwise) somewhere, but I can never find just the console, it's always some "all or nothing" deal: the console, three chargers, four flashcards, seven memory cards, bags, cases, extra styluses, screen protectors and assorted paraphernalia, bumping the price up to $500 plus shipping ($100).

Well, not really, but close enough.

I got my DS, 2nd hand, from a local ebay-like website for at 2/3rds of retail price. Wasn't hard to find either and no shipping involved since I could just go pick it up.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
