Nintendo DS Lite Update for March 3, 2006
There are still no NDS Lite supplies available in Japan or Hong Kong for export as of last night which is somewhat unusual. NCS deals with a few entrepreneurial hustlers who work outside of normal distribution channels and are generally able to locate products and supplies in size when the big and well fed trading houses can't or won't. Hustlers had nothing for us.
When the other colors of the NDS Lite ship next week, we anticipate a repeat of the shortage and price hikes that NCS endured this week. Due to the supply problems, we're keeping all customer preorders on hold until prices stabilize and supplies become more readily available.
» The prevailing rate of the NDS Lite is currently US$236 but this and any other quotation is useless because there are no supplies available.
» We will not charge the prevailing rate of an NDS Lite and recommend that customers wait until supplies/prices are normal (possibly in 2 weeks time?).
