*Just sold his SP and feels naked and incomplete without handheld console*

I'm European and I've been through all the usual import sites without any luck at all. The US Nintendo DS is sold out everywhere! And it's been like this pretty much since it was released. So what I'm wondering is when the new shipments will arrive (they have to soon, right?) - anyone have a clue? I really need that Metroid pack. Thanks.

As of New Years' Eve, I was told that we have no idea when Nintendo will be shipping more (Gamestop). It was a memo sent out to all our stores.

Get a JPN NDS from Play-Asia.com for $189.

Holding back supply for Euro launch?

I've got a Japanese DS, as the American one was sold out everywhere. I miss Metroid, though...

www.futureshop.ca has a bunch last i checked, i don't know if they ship worldwide though.

My store (EBgames) has been getting in a few a week ever since christmas, we had 6 just in last week. although i live in middleofnowhere Maine, so that might make a difference, but still. they are out there in places, just not mass quantities for online stores.

As I posted in a thread over the weekend...

Maybe they do international shipping?

 

[Gibbles]

None of those shops ship internationally...

Damn you, Nintendo.

Same thing at our KB Toys. We got seven for our first shipment, and then got like five the next week. Then I believe two came in recently, but I didn't check in on that. So it's not 100% sold out everywhere, you just have to be on the ball when a store gets a few more in.

I was in Fry's, BB, CC, and Target this past weekend, and only Fry's had them in stock. However, they just got a shipment in and had 25+.
