Nintendo DS

Anyone know where in Chennai we can find games for our son's Nintendo DS? Specifically, we are looking for the new Transformers Decepticons and Autobots games. We have tried Landmark, Odyssey and some electronic shops. They carry PlayStation and XBox, but not the hand-held Nintendo DS.

Sorry, I don't...

But try: Richie Street, Chennai's electronics and computer bazaar street, or Burma Bazaar, Chennai's grey imports and pirate dvd/software market (near Parry's corner

Mod note: probably better to keep the post in this forum, I'm deleting the duplicate post, please post once only --- I appreciate it can often be hard to choose where!

Dont know but I now use a R4 revolution cart. ROMS are easy enough to get off the internet.

Get a R4 and a 2gig micro SD card and away you go. You never need to buy another DS game again. BTW the Transformers games are nothing special but maybe the kid will enjoy them.

Took your advice and tried Richie Street and found it is more difficult to locate than expected. We found only one store and fortunately they had the game. Unfortunately, when we got it home to play, it didn't work. After some hassle, they returned us our money and said "we don't want to business with you anymore."

Apparently, they thought we should come back when they had more in stock -- whenever that might be -- and exchange the game. No apologies for selling defective products. Oh, where are the stores that have good customer service?

Our backup plan: Buying it overseas.

Cash refunds are almost never given in India unless you build yourself up into an apoplectic rage and learn to swear in Hindi.

Unfortunately cash refunds create too many opportunities for fraud by the staff.
