DS Lite launch delayed...for some

If, like us, you were hoping to pick up
either an Enamel Navy or Ice Blue DS Lite when the redesigned system launches in Japan this Thursday,
you'd best be prepared to have your hopes stomped to bits beneath the steel boot of a manufacturing problem. Nintendo
claims that there was an error in the production of those colors and that there won't be enough units ready that match
up to their stringent quality expectations. Hence, Enamel Navy and Ice Blue have been delayed until
March 11. You can find ineffectual consolation in the fact the Crystal White DS Lite is unaffected by this problem and will still be releasing this week. You may also find that reason enough to destroy your friend's DS Lite in a fit of jealous rage. (We recommend the latter.)

No Enamel Navy or Ice Blue DS's at intended date? That sucks a lot, although the Ice Blue didn't prove too popular with that last poll...
Thankfully I preordered a Crystal White DS so I don't have to wait a week longer.
This is definatly gonna be a huge drop in the potential sales boost...
