They have units for sale in the local stores!!! That's just nuts. I found another write up on the launch, and how certain stores approached it. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=21020 Must laugh at the bit stating it had sold out by 6am, 1 hour before it's due to go on sale! :) Must admit it, I don't feel the need to get one at all. Apparently it's a power hog as well, chomping up loads of electricity. I'll stick to my PSP I think for my minimal gaming needs. Ehhhhh?? They have units for sale in the local stores!!!

I always wonder why anyone in Japan thinks it worth it to go into central Tokyo to get into the rush at Bic Camera or wherever in Akihabara when the local places have all the kit and usually cheaper. Must be the gang mentality...
