What was originally sold exclusively through Nintendo.com, Best Buy is now selling the Nintendo DS USB connector in stores for $39.99. No word on how long the promotion will last or its availability, so run on down to your local Best Buy if you're in need of a wifi fix without the online shipping. This is of course assuming you've got no wireless routing love.2. I don't know what's wrong in the states, but I've seen this USB connector in many game stores in at least two European countries: Spain and Finland. I didn't even know it was supposed to be exclusively sold online...

3. Here in Holland you just buy them at any nintendo reseller. So I guess that goes for the whole of Europe

4. You can get it at Toys R Us for 34.99 CDN.
Or pricematch it at Best Buy and get an extra 50 cents off.

5. i have it and it works great. the one thing i can tell you from a "lessons learned" standpoint is to delete all your exhisting wireless profiles on the DS before you start using it. as they still take priority over the nintendo wifi dongle for some reason. once i removed them though my ds stopped timing out and went straight to the nintendo wifi.

6. I have it too. It works fine but regardless
of how I change my setup I cannot get it
to coexist with my software firewall, so
each time I want to play Mario Kart I need
to shutdown the firewall first.
Other then that I have no complaints.

7. It doesn't play nice with my software firewall either, even though the program is registered with the firewall. But at least now I don't have to go to McD's to play; I don't have broadband so buying a WiFi router isn't a possibility.
But $39.99? Isn't it $34.95 + $5 s&h from Nintendo? I suppose you save a few days buying from a store.
