Update:
We told you to be fast. Having checked the listing around an hour after it went live the stock is now all gone. Based on the comments this can be found at various retailers for just a few pounds more than the Amazon deal, however, so all is not necessarily lost if you still want to pick this up.
Original Article:
Those of you that find the idea of Black Friday to be an enormous turn-off, brace yourselves. It's not just a day of shopping mayhem, but a week. One deal that's caught our eye today, however, is less about being an amazing offer and more around how ludicrously undervalued some games and products can be.
As evidence we have Learn With Pokémon: Typing Adventure on DS, which will also run on your 3DS. As part of Amazon UK's rolling discounts today this typing game and wireless keyboard is now just £4.99, reduced from the already-low price of £9.29. That means you can get this game / typing tool and a cute little wireless keyboard for the price of a fancy sandwich.
We quite liked this back in the day, too, awarding it 7/10 in our review.
Are any of you in the UK tempted to grab this? Act fast, the deal is now live and once stock is gone it's all over.

Yes yes yes, thanks for the reminder! I've nabbed myself a copy. I love weird games like this. Especially DS games with strange peripherals. It can go with my ds otary controller and FACENINGSCAN camera cart!
does the keyboard work with other software? is it compatible with other systems?
Not really a deal on this game has been the same price at Argos for months.
And @eza the keyboard only works with this game on DS/3DS but does work as a Bluetooth keyboard with many other things.
I got this early this year from Agros for £7, what makes me laugh Game still has pre-owned copies of this for £30.
It's a decent little game that may be a bit of a collectors item in years to come.
the game also comes with a stand that doubles as a protective case for 1 game.
and just the keyboard would be worth 3-4 times as much as that discounted price.
So the keyboard is a standard Bluetooth.?
lol! When I first read this I thought "What the heck is Posh Sandwich!?". Now I feel dumb...
Already bought this a year ago for 20 euro... still a steal for a future collectable
@Danrenfroe2016 Yes
Gone so quick. To be honest, my local Argos had it for £4.99 a few weeks back. My sister and i only bought it for the keyboard but i've tried the game and it's not too bad. It works on my tab 3 and my sister's i pad so that's good.
Thanks for the heads up! I have wanted this for some time, unfortunately it was never released here in the States.
Getting the lightning deal I was able to get it and have it ships to the States for $16.
Nabbed one, will make a great gift for my Pokemon mad nephew.
I did get one for myself a few months bad when Argos had them for £8 haven't actually played the game yet, but the keyboard is really nice for the price. So far ive synced it with my phone, Vita and PS3, only downside is that there are no function keys.
I've bought this since the keyboard will come in really handy.

Cool i just picked up one used on amazon imported from Japan. Will be great addition to my retro gaming setup I am making.
The game is great! I would like to use the keyboard for other things too bu not sure how . . .
Been £4.99 at Argos for months!
@cfgk24 It's a Bluetooth keyboard and pretty much works with everything.
@andyg1971 Oh! Thats great! - It's actually my favourite Keyboard of all time!
I was actually thinking about buying this. Had to use a free Amazon trial to get free postage for a month, but I did get it for £5!
This has been £7 in Argos for ages,keep meaning to pick one up just for the collectors value in a few years
It'll still cost more than a sandwich for America.
Wait, was this ever released in the US? I never even knew this existed. As far as I knew, the only thing like this that I ever played was Typing of the Dead on the DC.
Got this for £9 a few months ago, and its worth it just for the keyboard. The only downside is when you connect it to a computer, tablet or whatever else you want, it picks it up as the American layout, so trying to get the pound (£) symbol will result in the dollar ($) symbol. But still complete worth it at £10 just for the keyboard, the game is just a bonus
@eza well as far as I know Pokémon typing adventures is the only gamecard thats has a blue tooth chip inside.
@Kawaiipikachu @llamareborn thanks for the info! i was wondering how a wireless keyboard worked with the bluetoothless DS, and that makes perfect sense.
thet could have great homebrew applications: wireless audio streaming over bluetooth, or remote control apps such as a bluetooth trackpad/mouse... though it's far too niche to ever happen
