[j.m.ratkos]

the one on the right is from the hot mario contest. more information can be found on an article that I wrote a few years back which can be found here

I did take an awesome picture of my Famicom SP and I've been searching for it but think it must have been lost in my last format.

It really does beat anything else but the White Lite next to it kinda eclipsed it somehow.

[Smitty]

My God, it's full of pixels...

[Unlighty]

Anyone know where I can get one of these quick?

Will pay up to about £150-£160

[GinzaUK]

I had a mental bet.. with myself that you'd be the first person to need one quick..

Indeed - I really would like one this week as I'll be travelling away quite a bit over the next few months so it would be handy.

Now to find one somewhere! Have a preorder at Play-Asia, wouldnt even mind paying a more expensive price!

I bought one from this guy, unfortunately he jacked up the price today, so they are £156 delivered. When I bought one very early this morning they were £136 delivered.

NCS can't even get any at an inflated price. This isn't like the pretend PSP stock constraint by Hong Kong middlemen, this is a serious shortage.

[Unlighty]

Excellent - wonder if he has actually got any in stock though!

[Geezer]

I emailed him before I purchased and he replied to say he had it in stock.

[Unlighty]

Cool, I guess I'll pick one up then

[GinzaUK]

It's nice aye and I want one but £160?

No.

[Geezer]

£156 is excessive. I only bought one at £136 as the seller guaranteed no customs, so it won't be any more expensive than a Play-asia order once customs buttrape you.

[Jools]

Well those prices are a bargain, they can easily be sold in Japan for 200 pounds - consider yourself lucky.

Why's he plastered his username all over the photographs? It's hardly going to stop people nicking them when those very same shots are available on the interweb...

[Burai]

He's not worried about people stealing his photos. He's more worried about people linking directly to his webspace and using up all his bandwidth.

[spe@rmint]

my Yesasia order is saying ready to be shipped.

And no, i declined the option to pay more, i told them i would wait for new shipment and they confirmed this.

I preordered on 29 jan.

heres hopin.

So's mine.

I bet it's an automatic status update that just means they've got some DS Lites in stock, it probably doesn't mean ours are ready to ship.

I'm not holding my breath, anyway.

Ah, right. Fair enough.

I got this email RE Yesasia.

Dear Mike,

Thank you for your purchasing at YesAsia.com!

With reference to order # 408bla, we are sorry to informed you that the item “Nintendo DS Lite Console (Enamel Navy) (110V) (Japan Version)” (YesAsia Catalog Number: 1004117841) is currently under sourcing. Under normal circumstance, it usually takes around 30 business days for replenishment since the relevant item is directly source from oversea supplier. It may therefore still take certain time for replenishment as the order was made on Feb 15. Once the items are ready, we will ship out the item as soon as possible thereafter.

Sourcing sounds like I'm fucked and won't be getting one.

Oh well, lost order here.

[Monkeyboy]

I've not had that email and I made my order (Navy Blue Lite, same as you) on the 21st Feb...

[GinzaUK]

I guess only time will tell what's going to happen now.

I'm not expecting to get one any time soon.

[Unlighty]

Surely there must be some UK importer or anything with these coming in this week?

Cant even find a reliable source on ebay!!!!

[GinzaUK]

Don't think it's worthy of a new thread but I think this shows that Nintendo aren't going anywhere soon..

Proof, as if it were needed, that Nintendo fans are faceless drones.

[Unlighty]

I think I might just order one from that guy in Hong Kong for £156 all in from ebay.

Theres no tax/customs - so the £115 from play asia + £20 for customs + waiting time doesnt seem that much of a difference!

Apparantly they will be sent out on Tuesday!
