More for our transatlantic cousins, this, but if you happen to live in North America you might want to check out Amazon on Friday. How come? Well, because there are five DS games on special offer in something called the 'Gold Box.'

At exactly one minute after midnight (PST) a game will go on sale at a discounted price. Another will be announced at six in the morning, then another at ten in the morning, another at two in the afternoon, and a final one at six in the evening.

If you want to avail of this offer from the UK, incidentally, those times are 4pm on Thursday, then 8pm, 12am, 4am, and 6am. I think.

From what I can gather, the prices in the Gold Box are significantly lower than standard. There's a pack of light bulbs on there now, for instance, reduced from 32.08USD (16.10GBP) to 17.50USD (8.78GBP).

According to Nintendo blog The Tanooki, the games that came with a previous Wii-themed Gold Box weren't that bad, so it might be worth a look. Do it quick, though, because the games are likely to sell out in double quick time.
