I use a Tacimo Autotransformer. It's very small and subtle.

It's max load is 30VA which is more than enough for DS Lite. I have several of them and use them for GBA Micro, Gamecube, Dreamcast, and Saturn.

I got them from Maplin. Forget the cost but it was pretty trivial.

Why do we need stepdowns this time? I don't see how we do? My iPod, DS and PSP all just use a converter plug. Why's this any different? and if it is totally essential...is this right for it? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-US-to-UK-v...QQcmdZViewItem

That is a neat and tidy stepdown. Think I`ll just chop the lead and chuck a usb end onto it, done this with all my hand helds.

$300!! WTF

[Ginger Tosser]

PA still seem to be listing it at the normal price

They did that for the PSP launch too, then the price went sky high as soon as it was released. They sold them for $500+ and everyone who preordered at a lower price had the choice to buy them at the inflated price or wait it out.

Double irritation, first the enamel blue one gets delayed and now it's pretty much certain we will experience hardcore price hikes ft:

**** that, I for one am NOT paying ?171 for it. Will anyone pay that?

[Ginger Tosser]

I personally doubt the price will go stupid but if it does i won't bother. I've already got a DS so i can wait.

If you include shipping/customs it could hike it over the ?200 mark ft:

[Ajay1986]

No fukin way i really really want one but im not an idiot no way im paying that kind of price.

This is only for the HK launch though right? They still don't know the condition of the Japanese launch..............
