Why is no-one buying the Japanese DS? Liksang ran out of US ones a while ago, but the Jap ones are still there with 'within 24 hour' stock. They can be easily switched to English, so what's the matter?

I'm thinking about getting one now, but I may wait till the new year...

You'll most likely get stung for customs with Lik-sang. I have done every time.

Use GBAX.com. They're based in the UK and send the DS via Special Delivery.

hm. So with the Metroid demo rumoured to be missing from any new US orders, do I now get the Jap one or wait until after Xmas?

Does anyone know roughly how long it takes to deliver from Liksang?

The Metroid Demo is the main point. Then again, it's hardly suprising when people write-in questions, such as:

"If I play US or UK games in a JAP GB/DS, does the language display as JAP?!"

I mean, come on.

No Metroid demo.

Yeah, and the "can't understand Japanese" bit.

Blimey, there's no chance if it's that long.

You won't be able to read the writing on the box or in the manual! ARG! People don't generally trust things that they don't understand.
