I can't believe it! & my bro wanted a Black DSL too, I also just hope that Nintendo hasn't lost too much money, something like this could be really bad news for them.

This takes me back to the days of the Super Famicom, which had to be distributed by ferry after nightfall due to Nintendo being tipped off about a supposed heist!

I hope mine gets here fine, it's a black one too! You'd never think that stuff like this would happen, but it does everywhere.

Maybe Gameplay had a special shipment with mine in Smilie

I hate to be a grammar whore, but its just "DS Lites", not "DS Lite's"

It just looks unprofessional, and C3 being the site that it proudly is doesn't need a grammar error cooing the eyes of prospective posters and anal members.

*sorry*

EDIT- I mean in the news title, btw.

Sounds like Mseny kinda did, although I wouldn't have minded starting it.

Nah, Sony aren't clever enough for organised crime, they go out in the open & tell people WHAT THEY'RE DOING WRONG, & act as if it's totally awesome. Smilie

Constructive criticism more than welcome, so thanks for pointing that out. I'll use the excuse that I was rushing the story for the Germany game, yeah that'll do Smilie Smilie

Anyway not the best of news, but something like this is more of a gentle slap in the face than a punch in the gut. Hopefully it doesn't result in delays for anyone!
