Hori Charge Stand delayed, coming to America?

We hope you haven't already put in a preorder for Hori's upcoming DS Lite Charge Stand! When we last previewed this accessory, Play Asia had put up a product page promising to deliver the stylish dock to your doorstep for $16.90 (plus $5.90 s/h) once it debuted in Japan this month.

Checking the online import shop earlier today, we spotted a pair of notable details, bad news and good news, if you will:.

Bad news: The charging base's shipping date has been moved to May
Good news: There is now a listing for the White DS Lite Charge Stand bearing a US flag, scheduled for June and priced at $14.99.

Is Hori's North American arm planning to bring the dock to the states as it has with many of the company's other DS accessories? If so, it might worth waiting an extra month to pick up the Charge Stand at a local store for a few bucks less. Hit the gallery below for glamour shots of the White and Black models.

Don't care for a charge stand (I'll just use the normal plug, thanks), but the usage of Eddie Murphy amused me. Good job.

So, my DS came with a charger that I can use while I'm playing, that doesn't take up any space on my nightstand, OR, I can spend $15 bucks for a stand that takes up table space, even when I'm not using it, that I cannot use while I'm playing. Hmm. Tough choice?
