After all the incessant waiting, unrewarded anticipation and violent Japanese rioting, it seems that Nintendo's recent boost in DS Lite shipments is finally filtering through to the rest of the world. Two of the more popular online import sites, Play-Asia and Lik-Sang, are reporting that their Lite stock levels are now entering more comfortable levels, free of enormous waiting periods and fluctuating prices.That is, if you're getting an Enamel Navy or an Ice Blue unit. The Crystal White Lite, which Lik-Sang has amusingly dubbed the Crystal Cocaine model, is still proving quite tricky to track down. If you're not keen on sticking with your original choice, might we recommend the deluxe Destitute Cardboard DS Lite?

there are still sites that are selling them, although at some premium, one is yesasia.com - at $299 Gulp! and the other one is renchi.com cheaper, but still a premium ... if you need your cocaine, you NEED your cocaine, right?

Must ... wait ... for ... pink ...
But damn, I'm tempted. And I would want the light blue, so it's even available ... and it's tax refund time. Grrrr.
