Nintendo has released details of a range of new DS hardware bundles set to go on sale pre-Christmas and which will no doubt be sold out by early December leaving desperate parents begging weary Toys R Us shop managers to tell them where they can possibly get one in time to prevent little Harry having a tantrum on the 'Big Day'.

Gamers will be able to pick up a black or a white DS with a copy of Brain Training for £120, or - for the same price - a red DS with copy of Big Brain Academy.

There's also a pink DS bundle, which comes with Nintendogs: Labrador and Friends and a blue DS package with Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat? (That one's obviously for parents to buy their hapless male student son who's incapable of feeding himself). Those two will sell for £130.

All of the bundles will be available in the UK from October.
