I'm pretty sure the rumble pack only works for a couple games. Mario and Luigi brothers in time is one. It seems pretty pointless to me.

A few games support them, they work ok. I have one that came packed in with Metroid Prime Pinball. My g/f still wants one, how much are you looking to get?

They go in the GBA cartridge slot (which means they stick out a bit in the smaller DS Lite, although Japan got a Lite-specific Rumble Pak).
DS games can address the rumble function then, which is a gentle buzz more than hand-shaking vibration. It's particularly effective with simulating a little tactile feedback in Metroid Prime Pinball, which is probably why it was bundled with that game. There are 5 or 6 other games that can use it as well.
I haven't actually seen any for sale individually at brick-and-mortar joints, although I guess GameStop/EB Games probably carried them at some point.

There were for sale from Nintendo.com and some where on ebay as well. Haven't really looked for them lately though.

i was looking for about $5 plus shipping on each one , of course combined shipping for more than one would be cheaper

Star Trek: Tactical Assault is the only 3rd party game to use the rumble pack.
