If you havent already got a DS, get a DS Lite. If you already have one, GAME will buy your ugly, bulky, dim-screened old one for £40. You could probably get more for it, but heck, when the icy fingers of temptation are clutching at your bowels, £40 is enough.

It’s bright, easy on the eye, comfortable in the pocket and light in the hands. GameBoy Advance games stick out of it in a rather unprepossessing way, but that’s OK. And, best of all, despite the beautiful looks it manages to feel tough – able to withstand the slings and arrows of everyday use.

So, how can you resist either?
