Well it seems that my wife bought one of these fake Nintendo DS Lites. Our son wanted one for Christmas and she couldn't find one in the shops, so like many people she turned to Ebay and bought a nice navy blue one from Hong Kong and paid £110 for it!!! I did think that was odd at the time as I have never seen a DS lite in navy blue. Anway, when we saw the news report we got it out to test it. Yes, the power adapter does look dodgy and is now in the bin, but the game console itself is an immaculate copy and it works fine even the wireless - our other son has a real one so we were able to compare. Not really sure what to do? We have started a dispute with e-bay and Paypal and haven't heard anything as of yet.
However, ebay must know about this, unless they don't watch the news, and I am very surprised to see that ebay are still allowing people to flog these fake DS lites. Not sure how they could validate the genuine ones though... tricky. I guess this will be a drawn our process requiring an expert to validate ours as fake. It's not going to be sorted for Christmas is it...
