DS Bundles Announced for UK

When you think about it, the DS has become, more or less, an interactive fashion accessory. Countless yuppies bring it with them wherever they go, and often buy a color just to match what they're wearing. This environment has helped the DS spawn countless colors, each with a special little bundle.

And with the holiday season looming upon us, it's no surprise that Nintendo is doing this again... in the UK. Here's what they have planned.

*White or black DS Lite with Brain Age at the estimated retail price of £120 ($172).
*Red DS Lite console with Big Brain Academyat at the estimated retail price of £120 ($172)
*Pink DS Lite and Nintendogs Labrador and Friends at the estimated retail price of £130 ($187).
*Blue DS Lite console and Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide What To Eat? at the estimated retail price of £130 ($187).

See a trend here? It seems like all these bundles are missing a little thing called a GAME. No, not a stupid piece of lamer software, but something that you really SHOULD buy a DS for.

It's a shame, too, since the likes of Chrono Trigger, Sonic Chronicles, and Viva Pinata Pocket Paradise would really be enjoyable to the European market. Oh well, with demographic winter, there are less and less children in Europe anyway, so I guess that makes sense to market to grownups (I'm not being racist; it's a proven fact).

That's so very true, a bundle SHOULD come with a game that most of the people would like. For example the Zelda and Guitar Hero bundle, now those are games. Not some borring non-really-game in the bundle. The colors I don't really mind, but I'm not just going to buy another NDS with another color just because it fits my envierment, kinda unecessary. I go for white, since it goes with pretty much anything, although it does get dirty fast (if not taken good care or where it's placed).

P.S. I wish I had that cat....

Bundles are good when you need a new ds and they come with a game you want and having a special edition ds in the bundle are what makes it worth buying. I needed a new ds and wanted gh ot so i got the bundle strange thing is that the ds is made of a different material and im sure the touch screen is stronger.

Yeah, Nintendo upgrades the DS Lite all the time.
It is strange that Nintendo or other sites or magazines never say a word about it.

I'm pretty sure you can buy a DS for £99 in England. And most of them games are £24.99 on Play.com, so you're not saving any money by buying one of those bundles. You're actually losing money. What a joke.
