You guys received yours yet?

It's weird that they don't have any new update on this, and I placed my preorder quite early but still haven't received mine. :(

I had mine ordered but cancelled a few days ago. I needed the money and didn't feel like waiting "whenever" for the damn thing to ship.
I figure they will probably ship sometime at the end of march. And depending if Nintendo can get it's act together, I would guess that the Lite will be released state side in the next couple months or so. So I would just wait till its released here. That way if it breaks you can always get a warranty with it.

It does suck that play-asia isn't giving any updates to anyone though.

I emailed them and this is their reply.

thank you for contacting Play-Asia.com.

Regarding the new Nintendo DS Lite, the manufacturer does not provide
enough stock to serve the market. Thus, there will be a shortage around
its release date.

Due to this problem, our supplier is unable to provide us enough stock at
this moment. As there is a limited supply, we can only serve on a 'first
come, first get' basis. But we will try our best to source for this item.
We
will strictly ship on a first-come first-serve policy - the earlier you
have ordered, the earlier we will ship your order.

We have also posted some information about the NDS-Lite launch in Japan.

I guess that sums it up.

For the time being, we can only ask for patience and understanding.

Hell yeah!

I just got an email from PA saying that my CC has been rejected, so I change the payment method to Paypal and I think it's all done now. Should be receiving my Lite soon.

My order page says "Preparing Order". I think it used to say "Back-ordered". Anyone else with updates?

I think this coincides with the news from MB that Nintendo is shipping 700,000 units to anticipate the huge demand.
