DS Pre-Orders Stopped as Sales Soar

GamesIndustry.biz has the story that major retailers Gamestop and EBGames are likely going to stop DS Preorders because they're coming so fast that they won't be able to meet demand when the system launches. From the article: "It appears that six games will be available on day one - Nintendo's Super Mario 64 DS, Sega's Feel The Magic XY/XX, Activision's Spider-Man 2, Ubisoft's Asphalt Urban GT and two from EA - Madden NFL 2005 and The Urbz: Sims in the City." Gamespot also has details on the handheld shortage.

My newsfeed comes up with "DS Pre-Orders Stopped as Sales Soar". No FA to R. Now I have to click through to slashdot to read the writeup, which still doesn't give me any idea WTF 'DS' is or why its so popular. So I have to load yet another site and go lookaround there (if its not slashdotted) to find more info.

Its stupid, the submitter could have saved me and probably thousands like me all that time and cumulative bandwidth and server load simply by adding a sentance or two to the writeup, which was too short anyway.

I guess this a great time to tell you about our project. We are porting and promoting Linux into the Nintendo DS. www.dslinux.com

dslinux.com has nothing. No DS. No code. No threads. Oh, but it does have google ads, and a affiliate link to preorder a DS. You've posted a link to dslinux 3 times in this article. You're spamming, go away.
