Nintendo DS Accessories on Feb. 8 Amazon Deal of the Day
Sunday, February 8th, 2009Pink Piggy Handmade Nintendo DS Pouch
Friday, January 23rd, 2009Bag of Elegance Holds DS Lite in Style
Friday, January 9th, 2009This DS Lite case is luxe, classy, and all that, but man, what a goofy name. The Nintendo DS Lite Bag of Elegance is made by GameRigs, and thanks to the 10 percent off accessories going on at Amazon through Jan. 10, the black leather version is priced at $22.49 rather than $24.99. (However, make sure you’re buying through Amazon itself to get the deal; other sellers dealing with Amazon aren’t offering the discount but do have more colors available.) The clutch comes in black leather, Fuschia, Fawn, Diamonds, Fox, Pink Leather and even Camoflage. Some versions are $17.99 or $16.19. The case has space for two games plus the console. It features a magnetic lock, belt loop and “golden” stylus.
Nintendo DS Mini Folio
Friday, January 2nd, 2009The Nintendo DS Mini Folio by BD&A is $8.99 on Amazon ($1 off) through Jan. 10, thanks to a 10 percent off Nintendo DS accessories sale. This looks like the same case that currently comes with the in-store Costco bundle, and it’s officially licensed by Nintendo. It fits the console snuggly with the help of an elastic band and has space for several games in its built-in pockets. Overall this is a nice, sturdy case that comes in pink as well as three other colors. One of the most attractive features of the case is that it is so compact, even while toting six game cartridges. Also, when closed the case looks a lot like a day planner, which may make it less conspicuous. It will also stand up on its side, like a book. On the down side, there’s no room for the charger, or to easily fit a large, character stylus. BD&A products are also available at Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Toys R Us and Wal-Mart.
Nintendo DS G-Pak Organizer Is Cute and On Sale
Friday, December 26th, 2008Amazon’s 10 percent off Nintendo DS accessories deal is going on through Jan. 10, and the very cute and functional G-pak Organizer in Coral Pink
is on sale for $17.99. The G-Pak is also on sale for $17.99 at Circuit City through Dec. 27. It’s about the size of a lunchbox and comes with repositionable Velcro inserts like a camera bag so you can fit components they way you’d like, or even accommodate a DS with Nerf Armor. The case is padded to protect the DS console and games and it’s made to fit to 30 DS games plus six Game Boy Advance cartridges. There’s room for AC and car chargers and perhaps some game manuals, plus a side pocket. It also has an adjustable shoulder strap.
Fifty Amazon customers have reviewed the G-Pak, which is made by Naki World and comes in other colors. It got an average 4.5 out of 5 stars. A few reviewers said the games were a bit of a tight squeeze, but there were few complaints overall.
Silver Pack Kit Is Ultimate Nintendo DS Bling
Monday, December 22nd, 2008You can’t get much more girly and glam than this new Silver Pack from Thrustmaster. In fact, Thrustmaster’s marketing people are aiming it straight at women who love Bridget Jones and Sex in the City. From the press release: “These users not only want functionality such as protection for their gaming console, but also to remain glamorous and fashionable. Thrustmaster’s design team has come up with a gorgeous ‘designer’ accessory that will appeal to young and older females.”
I agree; it’s very glamorous, and if were going to take my DS to the club, I would definitely pry it out of the ugly Nerf Armor it’s in now and take it in this. The Silver Pack includes a stereo headset with its own powder compact-style mirrored case, a cleaning cloth (pink, of course), a car cigarette lighter charger and four game cartridge storage cases.
The Silver Bag alone is priced at $15.99, while the pack is $34.99.
