Does anyone have any idea when Nintendo are going to release more Nintendo DS Lites, everywhere is still sold out and my two have saved all their christmas money and had their hearts set on going shopping tomorrow. I asked four shop assistants yesterday what the problem was and just got four 'I don't know' :(

The people at the stores have no more of an idea when they are coming than you do. They are not shipped via truck and manifest. they come in by fed/ex or UPS. Blame Ninetendo and pray that you get lucky because if you aren't there the moment they show up getting on is going to be close to impossible for a few months.
