A nintendo DS from the good old US of A. Right I've never imported anything ever but I wouldn't mind getting this ordered as an early Xmas present. I've not read into it too much so if people could help me out it would be greatly appreciated, preferably from people who have pre-ordered or imported before. Basically I want to order the thing itself and a game (I understand metroid comes bundled with it). Secondly where is the best place to order from in the US that is realiable and fast for delivery? As I understand it i'll need a step-down converter as well, how much will this be? Are there any set in stone games coming out on release day as I don't wanna order a game and it get delayed again.

If someone could do me a rough price guide including the converter/machine + game and give me the url to the site it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Just to make sure you knew, the Metroid you get with it is a playable demo only, not the full thing.

You can expect the unit to set you back about 90 of our English pounds if importing from the US, and for it to be arriving on your doorstep in the first week of December. Games likely to be available from release? Metroid, with the unit, as with Pictochat. Then Super Mario 64 x 4, Animal Crossing, Wario Ware DS are almost gaurenteed I think to be there on release, along with various others that will all be confirmed neaarer to the time.
