2. I can't until the DS lite launches in the U.S. I sure won't be waiting in line overnight to get one though, I have no problem waiting a few weeks until stocks are up enough to order one online or just walk into Best Buy to get one.
The DS lite looks sleek as an Ipod now. I can just imagine opening one in an airport terminal or on a bus and having everyone trying to get a peek at it.

3. I just read that the lines weren't as long as the PSP launch. I don't understand why people are even buying the PSP. For a media player, the Ipod is a much better choice, and for a portable gaming console, the DS is a much better choice. And I would think the DS has games that would be much more popular in Japanese culture vs. the american shoot-em-up games on the PSP.

4. Loban: Maybe because of this...
"The original Japanese DS launch was pretty quiet thanks to generous supply and a comprehensive pre-order program that ensured anyone who wanted a system could get one without hassle."
If you remember the PSP didn't have a pre-order system. Shoot they didn't even have that many PSP's to sell. If you wanted one you HAD to wait in line AND get lucky. You didn't really have any other choice.
Not sure why IGN didn't catch on to that fact (then, or now)
