Lets say I somehow get a Nintendo DS shipped to the UK... I am thinking of using LikSang or PlayAsia by the way. What kind of shipping will I be paying on a 1kg shipping weight?

Oh and £91 + shipping is a fucking steal to get it this early! I can't wait!

Free shipping on games =

You are late.

 

[Chibbi Brady]

Way, way, way too late. I pre-ordered months ago with VG+ and the situation is looking very bad. Don't think I'll get one at launch, I'll be lucky to get one before Christmas. Reports suggest they only gotten in about 30, a tiny fraction of the pre-orders. It doesn't look too good for the little guys in terms of getting in DS stock. Tronix knew this and didn't even bother with pre-orders.

Yeah I pre-ordered from play-asia about 2 weeks ago and Im pretty sure Im not getting one on release. But the shipping to the uk was something like $25.

From VGP to a friend:

Hi Kevin,
As of now looking at your order number it doesn't look like you will be going out on the first day but they will start shipping on Monday and we hope to fill all orders in first two weeks of release Thanks

He preordered October 2nd. I preordered 17th October. I think that 30 number was referring to their retail stores, not online.

Any kind Americans willing to pick me one up if I paypal'd them some cash? :lol

I second that query!

I don't mind getting this a little late. What are the odds of getting one for Christmas? Considering PAL launch is a ways off, anything before will do.

 

[Sriram]

So, does anyone know what the waits gonna be for play-asia?

 

[MrPing1000]

I preordered off lik-sang on the 9th of october.

Here's hoping

To all customers who have preordered the DS from us...
There have been alot of rumours being posted that just arn't true and that are confusing alot of our customers. 1. We have alot more than 30 machines coming in that we will be shipping 2. We have not preordered 6000 pces, we have alot of preorders but not that many 3. Systems will start shipping Monday and we hope to have all orders shipped out within first 2 weeks of launch 4. The product is coming in daily with various quantities so it is very hard to know when someones order will ship you will know day before or day of 5. There is no problem cancelling orders just be aware once cancelled it's cancelled and spot is lost in que 6. Games will ship with hardware when possible or they will ship as they come in there are just too many orders to hold games back and wait until your machine ships.

We appreciate your patience and we know this is very frustrating for some as we are frustrated with the lack of systems on the market but in the end all units will be shipped and everyone will be enjoying their DS and games

Oh My God, I ordered my DS only three days ago at Lik-Sang....

I hope I'll get mine before the launch in Europe :/

 

[DDayton]

If anyone from Europe wants a DS, I -might- be able to pick up a few extra. PM me if you want -- I'll know on Sunday. I realized that I preordered a total of three systems.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

i ordered mine at liksang on october 7... prediction : i won't get one.. i have bad luck with stuff like this

PM'd.

I sold most of mine for 225 euros (shipped and insured) on ebay.... But I know I can have as many as I want on sunday... You have to factor in that DS'es are 192$ US here after tax (in canada, damn nintendo for not keeping with the exchange rate )
