Thread: Watch out for fake Nintendos this Christmas

Fake Nintendo DS and DS Lite game consoles are being seized by British customs. Potentially dangerous power adapters that do not meet stringent British power standards are cited as a potential source of serious injury. These products are being purchased from websites based in Asia at a 50 percent discount.

So this holiday season if you are going to buy a DS and a website is offering it for a steep discount. It quite possibly could be a dangerous fake.

Good to know, but I think this phenomenon has been around for quite some time. As with everything else, people need to be careful when purchasing “brand” items from Asian websites.
Common sense is key here I think!
