DS Lite - First look!

[Kotatsu Neko]

I got mine today from NCS. A thing of beauty for sure, and an unimaginably huge improvement over the old DS in every way. I got a white one and it looks lovely, athough as with all shiny things seems to suck finger prints towards it like a magnet. (fortunately only on the outside, as the inside is matte)

Now I'm going to have to play all of my old DS games and see what they really look like!

Gah... cracked and ordered.

Finally shipped!

Yep, it loves fingerprints. However, a quick wipe and it's perfect. It doesn't seem to pick up minute scratches when wiped (which my iPod does if you get it in a certain light). The Lite seems to be pretty resistant to scratches, which is great. I don't like having to be too precious with my handhelds and Nintendo are great for sturdiness and 'just throw them in your bag' factor.

argh i am cracking.......

where's the cheapest place to get one...

only thing is i have 2 jap ds's, i don't need a new one.

how much you reckon i could get for a boxed jap ds with no charger and one lit pixel ? that might sway me

[Bleeders]

What colour DS?

[wicky]

silver (bought it on launch)

ARGH i am cracking even more

I expected as much, it was the same with the GBA Micro.

My 5G iPod fortunately has an 'invisible shield' full body protector on it so it's remained scratch free, but I know unprotected they will scratch it you so much as look at it the wrong way.

That said I have bought one of these already - http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...n-70-1a51.html . In the mail and on it's way to me...

How long did shipping take from NCS cos i've got a navy one ordered in Wednesdays batch with USPS shipping I think.

It shipped Wednesday last week and arrived today via regular USPS.

No problem with customs - it arrived marked as a handheld game for $30. (and had a copy of Bleach in the box too)

[Madjock]

The longer I wait, the more pissed I get at yesasia. Come on already and drop them to $199 and ship!

I'll be interested to know what that case is like when you get it. Mine finally shipped from Play-Asia today so I'm on the lookout for a case.

I can't believe YesAsia are actually selling them for $300

[lankster]

i have an order with yesasia as well and i am extremely tempted to order elsewhere, just worried about getting charged customs!

OK, need some help here chaps please.....

I ordered my DS lite from yesasia and it was shipped yesterday. It says on their site that it shipped using "Express" and there is a 7 digit shipment code on their site for my shipment but no clue as to how to track it.

I tried entering the 7 digit code onto the UPS & DHL Websites but neither of them recognised it.

My questions are:-

Can I track it and how long will it take to arrive to me approximately? I live in Croydon bizzarely enough so I am hoping that this may speed things up (I think Yesasia have a warehouse in Croydon?)


Cheers,
