I got the Atari collection Vol 2 for my DS last week. It was in the bargain bin and I kept digging trying to find Vol 1 but no luck.

I have both as well as Intellivision Lives.  :)

It is sold here:  http://www.intellivisionlives.com/
They are out of stock now, though.

I just found it for £15, seems to be pretty rare as all the others are £50

If I get the job this weekend I will buy it

It is indeed rare.  I got it when it was first released.  :)

Very tempted just to buy it anyway, its very good value.

The seller was in the US and actually had 4 in stock, which is why I thought I would wait. But then I found out that I have the money in my Paypal account and eBay are doing triple reward points until the end of this week so I decieded too snap it up. Cost me £19 with postage and I got 45 Nectar points, which will mean a bit of cash back,  so I am pretty happy with that. Never played any INTV games so I am really looking forward to getting this!

Cool, glad that you were able to get it and for a reasonable price.  What the heck are Nectar points?  We have ebay Bucks in the US.  Must be the equivalent in the UK.

Nectar points are a reward points scheme that have being going years here. Some retailers give them out, some just redeem them and some do both including one of the biggest supermarkets (Sainsburys), which just happens to be where I shop. They are new to eBay though, only been doing them for a week or so now, which is probably why they are giving out triple points. Given how much I use eBay it will be great to get points on my purchases and be able to use them to get money off my grocery shopping.

That's cool.  Sounds even more practical than ebay Bucks!
