Would I have any issues when it came to charging? Would a UK charger be okay, or would I need a socket adapter for the US charger?

Are the games region specific?

all standard i think, no region specific ds's!

await correction!

Get a Revolution card, then you can download the games from the t'internet for free. Got a 4gb mini SD in ours with a few hundred games on. The socket on the DS will be the same i imagine so you could either get a cheap ebay UK cable or buy a US>UK plug converter.

Yeah, read about the R4 thing. In the process of home-brewing my PSP, but I might have a very last minute trip to NY on Monday, and Nintendo aren't dropping the price of the DS Lite at Christmas, in readyness for the DSi, so figured I'd get a cheaper one in the US - only if the charger will work.

The games are region free , but I don't believe the mains adaptor will be a dual voltage one so you'll need to pick one up over here if you want to charge it

UK mains adapters can be had quite cheaply and will work just fine with a US DS lite. With the right cable you can also charge them up from a USB port.

I got my mum a red & black DS lite last xmas.. ordered on the 10th December it arrived 4 days later and they even supplied an after market UK mains adapter with it and didn't take out the US on either.

Pick up a UK mains charger, or UK lite?

Okay, so games, not a prob [at all, *cough* ] and a UK mains charger will work without problem on the US console?

Excellent. Some nice colours in the US, I've not seen over here...

:edit: Cheers chaps.

should be fine mate.

Well, NY trip didn't transpire, but I picked up a DS Lite for £80 in Asda yesterday.

Have you seen the new ds lite?! Camera, Music and a bigger screen woooooooooo

I know its the other way round but I took my DS lite on holiday to the US last month and my UK charger worked fine at 110v. I checked the charger for dual voltage info and it only stated 230v but it worked fine in the US and I used it several times. All I used was a socket adapter UK to US so the voltage would have still been 110v.

The charger is still working fine now I am back in the UK.

And regionally locked games, and no GBA game capability...
