Attention future Kraftwerk tribute bands: where to buy Korg DS-10

When the Korg DS-10 synthesizer program comes out on November 4, you won't be able to purchase it just anywhere. GameStop, for one, doesn't care to stock a $40 DS non-game, apparently. In fact, the list of stores who are carrying the feature-rich synthesizer cartridge, as sent to 1UP by publisher XSEED, looks a bit paltry.

According to the list, only Amazon, Fry's, Micro Center, Best Buy, J&R, Game Crazy, and EB (in Canada) are planning to stock DS-10. Amazon, by the way, is taking preorders for $36.99. Also they bring games directly to your house, so maybe it isn't so problematic that more stores aren't carrying DS-10.

What's the big deal? That list includes almost everyone except for Wal-mart and GameStop. And with Amazon, everyone is covered.

Seriously, does anyone actually WANT to buy from GameStop anymore?

My groundbreaking Kraftwerk tribute album with ponies can stand the few days' delay of Amazon shipping.

Gamestop is selling the Korg DS-10 software here in Finland already.

there are two Gamestops on my way home from work, so they can be easy to pop into. And they sometimes have low used prices (i.e. Wii Lego Star Wars for $17.99). If I really need/want an item, I'll check them out (I got my Wii Fit there).

In any case, thanks for doing the leg work on this one. I noticed that the DS-10 wasn't listed on the gamestop site and nearly called them to ask about it. The area I'm in would sell a bunch of those carts. Gamestop is missing out.

Bah, kids these days will only use the Korg DS-10 to do The Postal Service, not Kraftwerk.

Why are kids so lame and horrible these days?

A lot of less common things aren't on the gamestop site despite being sold there. So some probably will carry it.
