You might remember back when the Nintendo DS sold out and Nintendo released an official apology for the shortage. Well, they're sorry again. This time it's not a patting-ourselves-on-the-back wink-wink nudge-nudge sorry, though; this time they really screwed up.
Potential purchasers of the Nintendo DS Lite will be saddened to know that the two alternate colors of the portable redesign will not ship on March 2 owing to production problems. If you're on track to get a white unit, you're okay; if you wanted the navy or the sky blue, you're waiting until March 11.
What's hilarious is that the apology is at the same goddamned URL as the last one. This means that they've just got this one apology URL they use, and you can check in daily to see what they're sorry about. That's awesome.
Anyway, I would like to say that I reserved a white unit the day that Play-Asia started taking orders. But now I'm not even sure I'm gonna get that on time, considering that demand for the white units will probably soar upwards following this announcement.
The good news is that the shortage of the original model of the DS is apparently over; weekly shipments will begin again soon. You know, now that nobody wants one.
