The Nintendo DS Lite has been a huge hit with kids and is sure to stay on Christmas lists everywhere for a while to come. The reason the DS has been so popular is the portability of it, look at it as a new age Gameboy. The great thing about the DS and the DS Lite is that they are still in stock everywhere and we don’t foresee problems getting them this Christmas time, the problem you may run in to come Christmas time, however, is locating the newest and most popular games for the DS so start keeping your eyes open now.

The DS lite is one of our favorite gaming units for kids, not only because it keeps the quiet on the backseat on car trips but also because there are many "brain teaser" games to stimulate learning in kids of all ages. The system has dual screens as well as touch screen technology and WIFI access making it a useful tool when travelling for everyone in the family. The affordability of the DS Lite is also a huge bonus, you’re not looking at paying the $600 you would be looking at with the PS3 unit. The DS Lite is usually stocked at the following stores:
