Hundreds Line Up For DS Lite

The launch of the newest version of Nintendo's DS handheld has seen hundreds of Japanese gamers line up for the privilege of owning one. From the IGN article: "With such an early sellout, it should come as no surprise that retailers had to turn people away. IGN noticed a steady stream of people arriving at shops, seeing the line, confirming that the DS was indeed impossible to get, then leaving. Some got in line anyway, perhaps in the hope that a few extra units would be available at the end." Update: 03/02 15:46 GMT by Z : Gamasutra spells out that the DS Lite has sold out after only a short time on the Japanese market.

So, it's a privilege to own a video game? I see. Like, it's a privilege to drive? I would abosolutley love to give up that "privilege"! I hate to drive and cars are just one big money pit.

All these wonderful people giving me all of these "privilege", but I think I'll pass.
