IGN yesterday received an actual, yes, actual DS. And, I quote:

"...The AC adapter isn't any different than the GBA SP unit's AC adapter, except with Nintendo DS printed on the unit instead of Game Boy Advance SP. There's a good reason for this: both systems can use either adapter."

That £20 will go on drink, then. Plus, I was right all along, so I, er, Win!

Someone here said the other day that it still might not work because the actual console will only work on 110V (or whatever).
But surely it'll accept 110-240V so they only have to make one type of console - I'm sure that it's just the charger.

Anyway - it's good news because now we won't have to pay for expensive transformers- yay!

Why don’t you just buy a second SP charger for £7 instead of wasting £20 on a converter?

Good news although I'l need to get a step-down eventually as my SP is soon going to belong to my Stepmum.
The deal was I give her my SP and she gets me a DS.

Do you have the pictures?
NGC mentioned the thumb-strap which is a decent enough substitute for analogue for me - I didn't even think of doing it that way. Mazza 64 will be fantastic with it.
