Oh, is that right ? Had wanted to go to get one during the IT show tomorrow. Thought Tuesday's Digital Life reported that it will be launched during the IT show.

U can find it on the 3rd floor. Just ask one of the Nintendo staff. (Lots of gals wearing white clothes with a white cap)

I damn gian for DS Lite. Esp since Rockman ZX already announced for DS. Seems like the local launch date around April~May.

Nope. Not on sale in SG yet.
(BTW, it has just been released in Japan this wk - total sold out)
It's going for 16800 YEN in Japan currently. My best bet is that it'll cost around SGD$300~$350 when offically launched in SG.

I see. So cheaper to get a set from Japan then, which will be less than SGD 300 including shipping.

I doubt u'll be able to lay yur hands on one. It's super rare and sold out. DS is very popular in Japan. Much more than PSP.
If u do manage to get 1, pls let me know? k?
I really damn gian to get 1. LOL!

Thx.

Looks like you are right. I have tried searching at amazon.co.jp but they are sold like 30,000 yen instead of 16,800 yen. Looks like I will have to wait till end of the month when it is launched in Singapore. Do let me know if you can find one at that price, ok ?

I went to see the real thing at the IT show. The screen is a bit reflective, just like the PSP. I have problems with playing PSP in the day at home, will this have the same problem ?
