WTF! That's some bullshit.

Is that a first for handheld price gouging?

That is price gouging at it's finest. Not to mention, NCSX, fucks over alot of it's customer base by making excuses to raise prices on the items they sell.

You didn't follow the PSP's launch more than a year ago, did you?

NCSX does say they do not recommend ordering it at that price. I think that's reasonable, don't you think?

Well two things here. The DS Lite is not worth paying $300 for, so I would wait. Second, NCSX is a very good import site and they state they don't suggest buying one at that price.

I have ordered for years through them and they have always offered good service.

Have a similiar overpricing problem with my local import store i'm getting my DS Lite from. Just got a message today from the owner that he cancelled all pre-orders due to the overpricing of the system. He'll wait for the best time to order them when the price gets cheaper. This definately sucks.

Like someone mentioned about the PSP launch, "welcome to December 2004 all over again." Geez.

Crickey!!!:( Here's to hoping the site I preordered from is still able to get their orders out.

Oh, and could you ever 'check' out a Lite from work dak? What's their policy on that?

I'm going to try and get it from another import shop in my area. Going to see how their orders stack up. Good luck with yours.

I really wish that was a possibility. Unfortunately, know one has access to those kinds of privledges. Especially, since the US version is not even out.

I'm paying $200 for a DS Lite even though I already have a DS! What brilliant logic!

LOL, just be patient fellas. Save your hard earned money and wait on USA launch day. English documentation, warranties, and support, never mind if things go wrong you can exchange it.

And a DS Lite launch on May 7th will be a fantastic way to start the warmer months.

Don't let your passions get the best of ya'll.
