Nintendo DS Lite

For those who need a break from the running, jumping, and general mayhem of a Super Mario game, Nintendo have brought out another limited edition bundle in the form of Ice Blue Nintendo DS Lite. Needless to say, it looks really 'cool' and will be widely welcomed by those feeling a little jaded by the endless demands of slaughtering demons, monsters and sundry foes.

This version of the Nintendo DS Lite extends the range of colors available with an icy, almost metallic hue. Clearly gender neutral, the Ice Blue console will appeal to both sexes, across all age ranges. From a marketing standpoint, it looks like a good choice. Moreover, the hue is likely to have special appeal to those wanting a calm activity and have little need to express vengeful wrath.

The game which is included - Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! - has been inspired by the research of a prominent Japanese neuroscientist, and provides a variety of mental activities in the form of mini games. For instance, these include simple yet challenging math problems, picture drawing, counting, and observation games.

Brain Age requires you to take an initial test to determine your 'brain age' and your score is expected to drop as you participate in the activities offered. Your result can be compared with those of others if you don't mind competition and being surpassed by 10 yr olds!

Those who especially enjoy competition can play up to 16 opponents to see who is able to solve problems the fastest.

The console itself will give up to 19 hours of continuous game play on one charge. As well, it has the highly regarded extra bright dual LCD screens, which offer crisp colors with good contrast, as well as a touch screen.

Like others in the DS Lite family, the Ice Blue Nintendo DS Lite has the standard features, which include very impressive 3D rendered graphics, stereo sound, and the ability to play a wide assortment of portable games from any genre. Using this product with a headset and microphone opens up many possibilities to chat over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to an international audience, as well as use voice control over games.

The Nintendo DS Lite Limited Edition Ice Blue with Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! And Carrying Case Bundle is a welcome addition to the DS Lite family and will be especially welcomed by a large segment of the market. It looks like another winner from Nintendo!

These days, whenever you look for a Nintendo DS Lite for sale, whether it be as a present for somebody else or for yourself, you should be asking yourself if you could not be getting it for a better price.

The short answer is yes, you should be able to pick up a cheap Nintendo DS Lite simply by thinking outside the box a bit and steering clear of the major retail stores, especially in the run up to Christmas.

With many million Nintendo DS Lite consoles having been sold over the past few years, there is no doubt that the product is tried and tested and extremely successful and popular. And that should play right into the hands of those who have not yet acquired a DS Lite, but are now in the market for one.

So if you are after a cheap Nintendo DS Lite, your timing is just about spot on. Firstly the early adopters (those who rush out and buy anything new) have done their thing, as have those who sat back and waited to see what all the fuss was about. Having satisfied themselves that the Nintendo DS Lite console was a good buy, they have already bought one at whatever price the merchant was asking.

Put these factors together - a demand that is probably not as intense as it was even 6 months ago, and a world economy in the middle of a major downwards correction, and what do you have? The balance of power has swung from the supplier to the buyer who can now start exerting some price pressure on the seller.

As we all know, it's not often that one can bargain with the manager of your local retail store over prices, especially if the store is part of a national or international chain. The place to be then if you are looking for a Nintendo DS Lite for sale is on the auction sites where prices are more flexible and even perfectly good used Nintendo DS consoles are on sale.
