in which kind 'better'? at the beginning i played with the strap, felt it as more comfortable..
but meanwhile i m convinced that with the stylus you are faster..

I mean in terms of moving and shooting at the same time.

but it's been a while since i've played it, so I could probably adjust that control scheme anyways.

Probably Nintendo will not sell the DS Lite in USA in May, because I think that the shortages of DS Lite in Japan is really a big problem, and it could be difficult for Nintendo to produce DS for Japan & USA, even if probably the DS demand in the States will not be incredible like in Japan. And so, even Super Mario Bros. 4 will be delayed.

Well, it is only a possibility, but for me it is not remote...

Play-Asia now reads "Shipping on or before March 30th" : [

Where does it say that, on the order status page? If so, just for comparison's sake, mine says it's scheduled to ship "On or before Mar 02, 2006"... and I preordered mine January 27.

I've just had the DS Lite I ordered off a guy in Honk Kong shipped out. 3-4 days till it's in the UK. Pretty excited now, I'm just praying for no dead pixels.

Which brings up an interesting question -- has anyone reported any dead pixels at all since I haven't heard of any complaints??

If there where an dead pixels issue, we would have heard about that already (and Drinky would trash talk about how the DS is inferior).

how much does EB and gamestop give for a PSP? I'm willing to sell mine for DSlite and give my older DS to my sister since she always wanted one.

I'd sell the old DS before I sold my PSP. The old DS is the one that's vastly inferior hardware wise.

Dunno, but I hear people in Japan are just dying to get their hands on a DS. Lite or otherwise. But don't tell anyone, that's just between me and you ;-)

As far as auctioning it in Japan? Well, I can't help ya there. Heh.

Don't be so proud of this technological terror they've constructed. The ability to render millions of polygons is insignificant next to the power of the DS library.

Well, yes. But there's no way in hell I'd sell a PSP for a DSL when I have an old DS at my disposal.

I thought the new stylus would be the same color as the case, which that picture disagrees with.

I'm canceling a third of my one preorder in protest.

It is the same color. IGN (and GI, I assume) had a demo from NoA.

Hmmm, on this picture it looks like the response time of the Lite is worse than that of the standard one. I hope it's not too noticeable.

Uh, how do you know the camera is moving swifty in the standard DS shot? You don't know. Assume it isn't, because pixel response times would either stay the same or improve on the new unit.

Did you even look at the picture? Also, this is something that you can observe with desktop lcds: Fast response times, a brilliant picture and a perfect viewing angle don't go together.

;_; I wonder if this is because liksang/playasia are HK based? Here's really hoping that NCSX gets them and ships next week ;_;

Well it seems like only 60k DSlites shipped so far, and there will be 40k of each blue this weekend. No new whites this weekend either. Things are going to be moving slowly for a while :(

So the figures went 500,000>300,000>150,000>93,000>92,000>83,000>60,000. Wow, wonder what the colossal fuck up was?

Anyway, when you say 'this weekend', do you mean from Thursday? All my local shops seem to have signs stating that this Thursday will see the Blues arriving.
