DS leads UK gift-giving charge, no other systems in sight

What does the DS Lite have in common with a Spider-man Laptop, a Bladerunner Infrared Indoor Helicopter, and the High School Musical Dance Mat? They're all among the top ten most-desired gifts for kids this holiday season at UK electronics retailer Dixons. Don't look among the top ten for any other gaming system, either, not even the Wii -- the DS Lite is the only one that's made the cut. Clearly, kids across the pond have incredible taste.

I thought Dixons had been bought out by Currys!

Anyhoo - I find it quite interesting that my little sister really wants a Pink DS and a High School Musical Dance Mat for Christmas too.
