btw, would anyone even want anymore pics or videos of it by then? i dont think so, but if anyone does i can.

Lyte Edge said:I'm curious as to why you blame NCS for the huge shortage of DS Lite systems and also why you bother going through a store that buys directly from NCS when you could do it yourself, presumably cheaper?
Um when did I blame NCSX? I may demand like 'DAMNIT NCSX HURRY UP' but thats just cuz the things sexy, and its mostly anticipation and sarcasm..
So, I have no idea why your saying Im blaming NCSX. If your commenting about me asking my import store if they can do anything about ncsx, then read below.. They have a strong tie to them.
And no I didnt buy it directly through NCSX.. Why? Half my packages get lost before they get to my apartment.. Also why would I be stupid enough to pay more then what ncsx is charging me.. If you are curious.. Im not paying for shipping and my import store orders all there games domestic/import through ncsx and they get discounts from them.. I actually paid less then anyone who went through NCSX themselves.. so.. gtfo?
BTW: Ant I didnt see any ebay auction very cheap or cheaper then buygame2's cheap price and other goodies included.
I was just going to post asking if anyone had heard anything from NCSX as of late??
I've been tempted to go with buygame2 or ebay and just cancel my NCSX order, but with my luck if I ordered through somewhere else, NCSX would end up getting theirs in and shipping at the same time. Plus, those from buygame2 and ebay are ending up around $300 when all is said and done..... just can't justify an extra $120 or so for what may be a few days...or even a couple more weeks wait.

:lol I think the new pictures sent me over the edge.. I was willing to wait.. now its growing painfully hard.. (and i didnt even order the fkin blue) :lol
BTW: I hate that feeling.. Im afraid if I cancel they will start shipping.. I just can picture NCSX's news update "DS LITE UPDATE: PezRadar has just cancelled, we are shipping this afternoon"

honestly, "NCSX HURRY UP" will only frustrate you and the retailer as well. i can garuntee you they ship every posible unit literally the minute they can get it out. the higher profit margin that you and i both know they are reaping will only last a little bit longer.
www.gamefront.de is reporting, according to retailers, nintendo is going to deliver a larger supply of ds and ds lite this thursday 16th march.
My God. I spend 2 hours trying to find the best DSL for the best price, from the best seller on eBay, and I somehow overlook the color. My PayPal confirmation screen thanked me for buying an ice blue DS lite.
They don't come any stupider than me.
(In my defence, it looks white in the crappy picture, and I am slightly colorblind).

You can probably sell it again on Ebay to break even when you get it, or even make a little profit if you set up a nice auction and have good feedback.

What is the current state with the classic DS stock in Japan? Is it still sold out most places?

I just purchased one from buygame2.com. They've sent me tracking info already, after a long MSN conversation with them (lost in translation in most parts).
I will post reviews, pics, etc. once I get it. Interestingly, the person I spoke with MSN said that stock at most online places (Lik-Sang, Play-Asia more specifically) is quite readily available, but they don't want to sell to pre-orders yet in order to keep the cost to consumers down.
Just what I heard...don't shoot the messenger. So far, it's been a relatively painless experience with them. Very quick in email replies, and easy to reach through ICQ/MSN.

Mine is on the way too, and I just wonder how buygame2 is getting all of these units when other places haven't made a peep yet.

I'm trying buygame2, but is anyone else finding the site extremely slow? Also, they added FF12 to my order, when I never even searched for the game! wtf?

You know...instead of maybe 40-50 units shipped to the bigger stores, it's a whopping 60 this time!
I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't expect to be able to get a DS (for regular price) until sometime next month, if not May, at this point.
I just made a photo gallery with all the DS LITE pics I could find:
