I'm feverishly trying to find a Nintendo DS Lite (preferably a bundle with games) to order online....so far I've checked Walmart, Circuit City, Best Buy, Conns, Radio Shack, Amazon, Overstock....all sold out/not available. Anyone know where else I can check? I gotta get this ordered today!!!! ***I don't want to mess with Ebay if I can avoid it.

GameStop.com has them for $129.99. Have you tried the local GameStop? Doesn't JOliver work there? Maybe he knows where you can get one.

The GameStop at 1440 Lake Woodlands Drive has 1-3 of the Crimson and Black Nintendo DS Lite. The phone number is (281) 363-0016.

Were you able to get one ordered?

<boo-boo lip> No. I needed this shipped to Mississippi and it just isn't available ANYWHERE online.
Mom X 5, did you actually call Gamestop for me?! That was nice, if so. I checked the website but only saw refurbished (which I don't want) and the new ones out of stock or on back order. 1-2 weeks. Crap. Or as Wilson would say: Crapola.

I'm considering sending him the money or gift card instead and telling him what I meant to get with it. Boy do I suck....
ETA: I about cried when twice as I was ordering and selecting the games for my bundle it would turn from 'in store' to out of stock before I could finish. This was Walmart.com which seems to be updating all day---still keep trying at least for tonight.
ETA-AGAIN: I am so burnt out from looking that I *just* realized in store doesn't mean it's available online. Time to take a break!

I'm sorry you weren't able to find one :( I looked at the GameStop website, and did a search for the product in and near The Woodlands. The one I mentioned came up as having between 1 and 3 of the black and crimson ones. I thought you might be able to go there and get one and then take it to the post office and ship it off.

It looks like you can still order one, and it doesn't look like a refurb. Of course, it isn't a bundle, but you could buy a game separately.

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!! Done. Gamestop. Ordered and shipped online and although I would have liked to include more games for the price, I am victorious in at least getting the system and the number one game w/some essential accessories to him by Xmas! Thank you, MomXs5! Not only was I able to get it, but because apparently a million people don't order from there, my confirmation said it could ship as soon as 24 hours from now and make it in ONE TO THREE business days! <happy-shake-the-booty-dance>:D

YAY!!!! Maybe you could also send a gift card with enough money to buy a game or two, if you still wanted? I think it's a great gift, and doesn't come with at least 1 game? Congrats on finding it!

I'm so glad you were able to order it! I know how it is to have trouble finding what you're looking for. I've been there multiple times. That's one less thing to worry about :)

Good to hear you got one! I work at the one on pinecroft. We are all sold out, and as far as I know, all our other stores in the area are out as well. For some reason, everyone has seemed to stop asking for the wii and is now asking for the DS lite. :P

GameStop.com says there are 1-3 of them at the Lake Woodlands Drive location.
