Britain is being flooded with hundreds of fake Nintendo DS Lites according to reports in the news today. Although this is bad because the majority of them don’t work, what makes it a real worry is that they are being sold with dodgy adaptors which haven’t been tested and are potentially dangerous.

These machines were bought from Asian-based console websites and had been selling for £40 rather than the nomal retail price of £100.
Be careful who you buy from!
All the retailers on this site are established merchants, brand names that most of you all recognize – there are a few names you might not be familiar with but they have been thoroughly checked by us and safe to deal with.
With regards to Asian sites there are only a few which are established and sell genuine products. A few that we know of and trust anyway.
These are:
These online stores sell huge amounts of stock to Japan, the US and UK and have been around for years. Other Asian-based websites you may have to do some research on first, however you won’t need to now you know these ones.
I’d like to point out just because they are safe to use doesn’t necessarily mean your shopping experience will be pleasant too – just like any shop there will always be good and bad reviews on customer service. If the issue here is about being ripped off, that will not happen.
If you think this post would be useful for anyone you know, please share it. They don’t need to go through anyone dodgy, all the information they need is right here on this site!
