o yea. it took me a while to get an onyx ds lite. The reason is this: At the end of the week, usually friday or saturday, it is common not to find a ds in ANY STORE. but on sunday or monday, almost each store restocks and that's the best time to get one. Ive tried one saturday and i was suprised as well that everywhere i looked, there was no ds lite! this got me angry but then i checked the store on sunday and they had one :)

The reason they're being sold out is plain and simple: they kick ass.

I went to my local Walmart this weekend and asked if they hadd any Wii's. The guy told me no and said they haven't got alot of DS/Wii's in a while. He guessed it was because Nintendo had sold how many units they wanted for the time and decided to slow the shipments down so they can get ready for a mass shipment. This isn't very reliable of course, coming from some employee of Walmart, but it does sound true.

I thought they were more readily available now... Well when I got it it was sold out everywhere so I lucked out that one morning. I guess it's because the DS is so good.

I would have to say it is because of the games. I know when I got mine, I had to decide whether to get a DS or a PSP. The PSP may have better graphics, but the DS has the better games. So here I am a proud owner of a Onyx DS lite. Touch me please.

It was because Nintendo was focusing more on producing Nintendo Wii's.

I didn't even bother to go to my stores to see if they had any DS Lite Onyx's. I just went on ebay and bought a new one. Saved $15.00 too.
