A few months ago I sold my old original DS, so since then I haven't been able to play my games, but now I may have a chance to buy a DS Lite. When is a good time to buy one? I might be able to buy one in a couple of weeks, but I'm also thinking of getting one in mid-late November, or even Black Friday because there might be a lower price or maybe a bundle (like the Mario Party GC bundle last year).

i would go buy one in a few weeks if ya can. i am sure the DS lite will be very popular item this christmass, plus if you want a black one they are hard to get cause everyone ones a onyx lite.. i would not wait.. but up to you.. thats just what i would. but i already have a onyx lite and its awesome

I seriously doubt the price of a standalone Lite will come down anytime soon from any of the major retailers. Perhaps someone will sell it bundled with some other stuff, but it's a crapshoot as to whether said bundle will appeal to you.

All of the colors are readily available around here. I like black, but have white since I bought mine on launch day.

Thanks for the input, I am planning on buying the Onyx one. I don't know yet, we'll see. I'm 51% towards getting one sooner than later, can't wait to start playing my DS games again.

Considering that we'll know all the Black Friday deals weeks before the day, i would wait until then.

Yesterday...It's that good. But I don't need to tell you that. But if you waited this long, I'd hold out for a bundle of some kind, as a price drop is unlikely.

I think 2:16 p.m is the optimal time to buy a DS Lite. You can sleep in, grab a ham, egg and cheese sammich with some chocolate milk, roll out to the store and buy it and still have plenty of time in the day left to enjoy it.

Get it now. Ask botticus. Even having a non-Lite DS makes you lose at Clubhouse Games.

Actually it's just a really good excuse.
