View Full Version : DS games 2 for £26 at Woolies
I got Phoenix Wright and Nanostray as I already got Mario Kart, wanted a 2D shooter and this seems decent. When i went to my local store in Hereford they hardly got anything on the shelf, but i asked and they had LOADS in the draws behind the desk, so make sure you ask. :)
The full list are
* Tetris DS
* Phoenix Wright
* Mario Kart DS
* Nintendogs: Dachshund & Friends
* Rayman DS
* Nanostray
* Tak: The Great Juju Challenge
* ATV Quad Bike Frenzy
* King Kong
* James Pond: Robocod
* Ultimate Spiderman
* Tony Hawk's American Sk8land
* Robots
* Scooby-Doo: Unmasked
* Spongebob Squarepants: The Yellow Avenger
* Spongebob Squarepants And Friends: Unite!
* Dragonball Z
* The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe
* Finding Nemo
* The Incredibles
I'm really tempted but I really shouldn't :(
Then again I only really want Phoenix Wright, I'd probably get James Pond too.
Perhaps luckily, I won't get a chance to go to Woolies till Wednesday at the earliest.
Looks like I'm off to Woolies at lunchtime then.

The beauty of Mario Kart is that if you are behind in the races you get the best weapons and items. So it even the playing field some what, there was a few races against Daz where I was leading for 2/3 laps and then he got a few magic blue missles shells and shot me down and he overtook me. :'(
Good Driving doesn't mean you will win in Mario Kart.

I was just lucky that time :p Normally I'm on the recieving end :(
Bahaha, just in town with a colleague of mine, had a chat about my DS. He bought one there and then.
:D
I took a quick look in woolies whilst I was just in town and was briefly tempted by a silver DS with Mariokart for £90 but decided it was a silly idea, i can't afford to buy myself toys atm and it'll hardly get used.
God dammit, I want a DS :'(
Do it! You know you want to.

Damn right, although on the Gamecube, I am so far ahead of everyone else, the blue missile shells dont make much difference ;D

Besides, you'd be really daft to get an old DS over the Lite.

Ive just preordered The Phantom Hourglass with no DS to play on :embarassed:

Aye. I compared my DS to my friends DS lite at the weekend and his is definately the better choice. The screens are a lot brighter and it feels more comfortable to use.

On the subject, when are Diamond & Pearl due for us westernerererers?
Not sure but I can't wait. Online Pokemon!
Ooh, I didnt know that. Thought it was just all gonna be ad-hoc :eek:
"Finally, Diamond and Pearl will take advantage of the touch screen during play, and will support up to 16-player Wi-Fi in some sense or other."
\o/
And this:
http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/diamondpearl.html
Wi-Fi Features - Online Battling and Online Trading
Online battling and online trading will be available in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl via the DS Wi-Fi connection. It will also have online voice chat. The Wi-Fi features can be accessed through the lower level of a Pokemon Center.
Online trading would be awesome. Save a lot of evolution problems when you only have a single cartridge.
Sweet :D I always hated that no-one near me had a Gameboy to battle against. Can't wait for this :D

'kin hell, I wasn't even aware a release date was confirmed for the Japs let alone a month away :eek:
Well I went into Woolworths today and there was no sign of this offer. Does anyone know if it's limited to certain places, or it was limited time and it now over? Mario Kart was £29.99 :(.
There was a single stand tucked away at the end of the electronics section for it in the Hinckley Woolies.

It's not shown on the shelves for some reason, but it should be in the system when the games are scanned through the til.
Right, me and Daz went to Woolies Saturday, the offer was still on, but they didnt have the games I want! (Mario Kart and Tetris)
I am going to be really cheeky here, if anyone see these games still on offer for £26, would you be able to get them for me and Ill either send you some dollar, or Ill give it to you at the BBQ if youre coming? :)
I can check in my local one on Wednesday for you :)
Anyone know how long this is gonna run for?

Dont go out of your way! But thanks if youre going!
:angry: Why do so many people quit the game just as they're about to lose?
This particular guy was playing so badly it wouldn't surprise me if he was at the time!
So then, anyone up for some Mario Kart this evening?
I might be if I'm about :)

I'll be wandering past my local Woolies tomorrow. I'll pop in and have a gander. Not good at finding games (or anything else for that matter), but I'll give it a go anyway. :)

Thanks Captain ;) :)
I went into Milton Keynes at lunchtime to get some new contact lenses and was pleased to see a sign in Wollies window as I walked past saying that selected GBA and DS games were 2 for £26. I was less pleased to find that there were no DS games at all included in the deal :/
Sorry SB, didn't get into town today. I have to go in whatever tomorrow to get last BBQ supplies, so I'll do it then.
Checked the Hinckley one again today and they're still out of Tetris and Mario Kart, bah! May get chance to check in Nuneaton.. who knows.
I'll be in my local Woolies tomorrow. I'll even leave home early so I can check for you before work :p
I can see it's going to end up with either no-one succeeding, or two of us succeeding at the same time. :D
Right, I'll be wandering past Woolies in about an hour. See what I can find.
Thanks everyone :)
If you have no luck, Ill just have to buy Mario Kart for full price! Scandal!!!! ;)

I want a DS now :( I could have bought one with my leftover money from my holiday but I got 2 Xbox games, 3 360 games and a wired 360 pad instead. Now wondering whether I made the right choice, especially after reading reviews for Trauma Centre and Phoenix Wright.
Trauma Centre is like crack. Cant stop playing it when you start :/
I'd not heard of Trauma Centre, but that looks quite good.
Davey_Pitch
16-08-2006, 14:28
Trauma Centre and Phoenix Wright look to be 2 of the most unique games around at the moment, something that always appeals to me.
Phoenix Wright has been on my 'to obtain' list for a while and it is now joined by Trauma Centre. Like you Davey, unique stuff appeals to me.
Cant say I know much about it. What's the genre/premise?
Davey_Pitch
16-08-2006, 14:36
You play a defence lawyer called Phoenix Wright, and you have to save people who appear to be very guilty to start with. You get to interview people, examine crime scenes and collate evidence, then go to trial to try to save them. It seems a pretty interesting game :)
Ooo. I like the sound of that :D
Might be one for after Reading.
Phoenix Wright sounds boring as hell until you see the screenshots. Everyone seems to love it so there has to be some magic to playing a lawyer :D I need to get Trauma Center too. Nothing like open heart surgery to pass away those lonely evenings.

Today was a perfect little screenshot of my gaming life. I decided around 2pm I really wanted a DS. At 5pm I was driving home from the city centre with a DS Lite and 3 new games (Trauma Centre, Mario Kart DS, Sims 2). :D
Good lad :cool:
Get youself online in Mario Kart and post your ID!
If you have no luck, Ill just have to buy Mario Kart for full price! Scandal!!!! ;)
Tried. Failed. Sorry.
Nice one dude :D 3 game bundle or did you buy them separate?
Tried. Failed. Sorry.
No problem! Thanks for trying!
And Davey? More money than sense man! ;D
Do we have a DS ID thread?
No thread, but there's a few IDs here (http://www.boat-drinks.co.uk/showthread.php?t=172&page=3) (at least I think that's what you're after).

What else is wanted other than Mario Kart?*
(*not got a DS and can't be bothered to read the thread again)

Cheers muchly! Yes Id like Mario Kart and Tetris please... its the countdown now for when my DS arrives ;)
Gad dammit, I REALLY need to get Mario Kart this weekend, turns out Phantom Hourglass has been delayed a month!!!!
This is my pissed off face :angry: ;)
Phantom Hourglass has been delayed a month!!!!

Oh well, it does mean I have a months more social life than I expected ;)
If anyone finds 2 copies of Tetris, grab them for moi. Me and the dude I work with both want it, but the 3 woolies we can reasonably check are out of it. Bah.
Dont go out of your way though, he's more bothered than I am :p
Dymetrie
17-08-2006, 09:55
Just double checking the order...
IF woolies in Hackney (might check the stokie one as well due to needing to up there anyway) has the 2 for £26, and IF either has these games in stock....
3xTetris
1xMario Kart
Any more? Heading out to Hackney at some point between 12 and 1, then back before wandering up to Stokie....
Mario Kart and Tetris for me
2x Tetris for Daz
Pref only if the 2 for £26 deal is still on, I'd rather have both or neither. Ta dude! :)
You'll be lucky to find one of each tbh. In my local woolies, the games on offer were consigned to the bottom shelf of a rack of PS2 games.
Oh, and don't be confused by the DS versions. I could get them no trouble. At £29 each.

explain yourself man! DS versions? surely it's the DS versions which are required for the kiddies DSs.....?

I know I'm a handheld gaming n00b (never owned handheld console and don't expect to...) but this is what I thought...
Yeah, there were. The 2 for £26 offer games I found looked like all/mostly Game Boy/GBA titles. There was a completely separate shelf of Nintendo DS stuff, and I found both games there, but at the full £29 price. I don't know if the offer previously applied to the DS games as well, but it doesn't now.
Ah, now me and Daz found Mario Kart and Tetris (DS versions) under offer, but they were out of stock

I'm not stupid enough to buy GB/GBA titles!
Or am I? *ponders* Nope, pretty sure I can read and differentiate between things...

Well, definitely no offers on any DS games at all in my store, so either the offer expired or someone in-store goofed. I even asked two staff to make absolutely sure. :(
No problem getting 'em (multiple copies too), but at full whack only.
It was the same story in the Milton Keynes and Northampton branches. I know that DS games were on offer at the store in Sutton as a mate of mine stocked up on games there. He's in Canada now so I can't ask him to go shopping for me :/
Sounds like it might have been one of their 'offers of the week' then. If only I'd have been able to get into town sooner. :(
yay Davey :D
I went into my local Woolies yesterday, only had a chance to text Betty as it was busy in work. They had a display copy of Mario Kart but were out of stock of it, and they said Tetris DS was no longer on the 2 for £26 special offer :(
Dymetrie
17-08-2006, 10:20
Remember that this is the big city where i do live...
If I had the inclination I could get a bus down to Oxford Street and go to the woolies there :p
Unfortunately for you lot I can't be arsed with that so if Hackney or Stoki don't have them then tough....
Looks like Ive left it too late :(
Thanks anyway guys, I really only wanted MK, just thought it would be easier getting Tetris too and really only paying for one game :)
Dymetrie
17-08-2006, 13:58
Well I've been to both stores and no 2 for £26 :(
lots of copies of mario kart, no sign of tetris...
However, the stokie branch had mario kart priced down to £20 rather than £30... I can walk back up the road if necessary....

It's quirky, girls seems to love it. You have a small villlage that you contribute to and with wifi you can go visit friends. and chat to them live with messages on screen, there's a QWERTY keyboard on screen that you can type with the stylus.

Quick question, my DS has a single knackered pixel, is it worth sending back?
I would (infact I did as the first one I got head a dead pixel) - you paid for a DS in perfect condition so you should have one.
Trauma Centre is like crack. Cant stop playing it when you start :/
You ain't kidding! I had a copy waiting for me when I got home and I can't stop playing.
I'm tempted to get Trauma Centre this week although I might get Phoenix Wright instead.
Got HMV vouchers again from work so definitely getting a DS game.
It's really well done don't you think? It's a gimmick for sure, but it's milked well.

Ill be returning my DS tomorrow :'(
So I need to kick your ass on Mario Kart tonight?
Afraid not, Jay needs to do something to the internet connection throughout the house for it to work, Ive the impression he just cant be arsed :(
Have to wait til I get a new one now :'(
That'll probably be changing the wireless encryption, I had to do the same. I dunno, some people will use any excuse to get more practice ;)
That'll probably be changing the wireless encryption...

Phoenix Wright is pretty good, not as addictive as Trauma Centre but still very good.

Phoenix Wright is pretty good, not as addictive as Trauma Centre but still very good.
I'll definitely be getting them both at some point in the future :)
Right now my DS is still the most played console I own, so it's definitely worth it.
Get adding my friend code guys, me and Burble had a game last night, he whooped my sorry behind ;D
Well it was my first go :p
I am considering Animal Crossing, someone tell me if its any good :)
And when are we having a game of Mario Kart? Ive only had 2 people add my friend code so far :'(
I've been playing a fair bit of Project Rub lately - totally stupid, but very funny.
I'm up for some more Mario Kart. Name the time and date!
