It's great for Nintendo and bad for customers. What perfect timing though. I got mine opening day luckily. As you know, they're sold out everywhere and it doesn't look like Nintendo will have enough to supply in the coming weeks. But with Christmas and Hanukah quickly approaching parents are going to bend over backwards to get little Junior or Hannah their DS unit. And anyone who bought one or more units, could definitley make a little profit if their willing to part with DS unit. Then along with the parents you have the loser gamers who refuse to wait until they become availble and instead pay way more from some seller on eBay or something.

people need to look more before paying way too much on ebay for something. I could walk into a store right now and pick one up if i wanted.

But just goes to show ya as i said in the other thread, things that are sold out make people want them more

A lot of GameStop managers got one free. There are two Gamestops in my town and I got both of their DS's for $120 a piece. That saved me $80. Not to mention it was employee appreciation days so I got 25% off of two copies of Mario 64 DS. All round I got an incredible deal. It sure made Christmas easier for me.

Holy crap. I wouldn't dare pay that much for a DS. Hopefully Nintendo gets more out soon. Keep up with the demand to get happy customers so they can show off to their friends

:eek: Argh!!! If I had money now, I'd ask you to buy one for me!

Importing from the States is sooooo much cheaper than buying an European version... and it's faster.

Do you think you still have that deal in 1 or 2 months?? I might have a job by then...
