Nintendo DS good Christmas gift?

The DS is good for kids, as someone said, but its small screen as annoying for anyone with less-than-perfect eyesight (at least it is for me!). There IS  a brighter version, called the "DS lite", which adults might prefer.\n\nI'm told that the game Brain Age and its sequel (I forget the name) are excellent for both kids and older people (memory boosting power!). \n\nIt has a stylus, too, which tends to get lost...maybe they can attach it or something...someday.\n\nFor someone who likes action games, I'd get the Nintendo Wii.

A funny Christmas card and a gift card for strabucks, or some local cofee shop. nothing to personal but appropriate. I think this combo works well.  You could always switch the gift card with a place you know he likes, but coffee is usually a winner

Depends where you are are and how you sell it.\n\nYou will get more selling it to a parent for Christmas than by taking it to one of these "cash converter" type stores - perhaps twice as much?\n\nIf you want to see how much they go for in your area look at Ebay - depending on what controllers / games are included will make a lot of difference too.

Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, VERY GOOD gift idea.  He will love it!\n\nIt's not always about who won.  It's about epic football games relived, like watching the History Channel, but for football :-)\n\nNow I want one too...

Big brothers and sisters know that their little brother and sisters don't have a lot of money. If he has an Ipod, you could get him an Itunes card. That way, even if its only 5 songs ($5) he will still enjoy it. If you have parents that will help, you could always ask what they got for him and you can get an accessory to it. If all else fails, make him a card. It may sound corny, but it will let him know how much you care.

Hi, I'm watching my 4 yr old granddau. playing on her computer right now. I have Pajama Sam, Freddie Fish, the old Living Books disc. She has completed a couple of the Freddie Fish and PJ Sam games by her self and I can see a very big improvement in her patience and problem solving. And I picked them up cheap on e-bay. Works for me and keeps her busy. ~:)+

get him a ds game or a Nintendo wii, with a game you can both play. If that's not in your budget range, get him some flavored clarinet reeds and make a coupon and put it in his card for "one free movie night" where you sit home together, eat junk food and watch a good movie together.

nay-just get a ds lol if u want a gba get a game boy advance sp micro only plays game boy advance games not game boy regular or game boy color,plus you can`t use e-reader(like anyone cares), can`t use gba to gba cable or gba to gamecube cable,and lower battery life. wait for ds lite so u can play gba games in style but with no support for cables and regular gb games

I just bought one of those "20 question" games for my "Secret Santa" gift.  Totally addictive (try one at the store -- you will be amazed!).  You can find them in various forms anywere from $10 to $30.

I wouldn't even bother buying anything you see that involves Japan. Because everything there is better, for example the Nintendo DS Lite here only play games and get Wi-Fi. In Japan, the DS Lite does everything, its like a mobile laptop. So even if you buy the Japanese version, but those option aren't available to the DS, it is useless. So my suggestion is just for forget about it.
