    hey i'm thinking of getting a DS with mario 64 and wario touched.

    on play.com it works out to be 150 pounds which is about 212 euros.

    is there anywhere else i should look preferably in europe to avoid having to pay customs (and not ebay as i hate using paypal).

    i don't mind waiting until the release date (11/03) as i'm not entirely sure about getting one.

    also what price will the games retail here at? i know they'll be more expensive here but just wondering for infomation sake

    aye but the problem with lik sang is that it's from asia (outside EU) so stung for customs, i'd rather pay the 12 euros more at play.com then to be hit with a 21% vat bill

    very true, If you have an SP you might be better off trading it in and getting the DS for 100 euro ( can be done in game or smyths afaik )

    How much will games retail here for though ?

    I was planning on buying online but now that I think of it the game option sounds better once the games aint over 50 euro.

    I think it's GBA SP + 3 games = DS for €69.99. Seems like a good deal, but I'm sure there's terms and condidtions I didn't read.

    It's released Friday. Thats the end of my paycheque then. Won't be going out much for the rest of the month but then again I'll have my DS and WW touched and Mario 64 DS to keep me company.

    Nope. Stock probably won't arrive till Wednesday, so there's still a couple of days left to preorder if you want to. Funnily enough, the manager of Xtra-Game in Tallaght was quoting €60 for DS games...lol. :confused:

    Damn, I was gonna ask if anyone had asked how much the games would be. €60 is way overboard. Play are charging £25 (€36), so that means between 40-50 here, I would hope.

    I have 4 games I want to pick up on Friday, Zoo Keeper, WW:Touched, Polarium, Rayman. (already have "rub project",madden and mario)

    €60 is way, way out. US games are only about €35-€40 delivered (quickly) from Lik-Sang. Incidentally, I have a Jap Mario DS FS @ €35 ;):D
