 NDS Black and White Color Variants - New Import

   The familiar Nintendo strategy of releasing many console/handheld color variants returns this week with the launch of a graphite-black and a pure-white model. Similar to the standard platinum Nintendo DS, each package includes a stylus, a carrying strap, and a 100V USA/JPN AC adapter (part #NTR-002).
   Two additional color variants are shipping next month - turquoise and pink. Wait a few more months and the Nintendo DS rainbow should expand by a bit more.
   All preorders are shipping today and new orders are welcome at US$175 per variant.

PS2 Ys III LE JPN
 PS2 Ys III Wanderers from Ys Limited Edition - New Import
   Nearly two decades after Ys original release on the Japanese PC (1987), Adol Christian's side-scrolling action-adventure enjoys another re-release. The story has some extras thrown in to freshen up the adventure and the graphics are completely redone in snazzy detail but Adol is still of small stature against the looming game world...just like in the original game and the other remakes. A slightly larger hero would have been preferable but we'll take whatever we can get at this point.

The limited edition of Ys III includes the following bonus items:
● 34-page art and data booklet

● Soundtrack CD

● Ys Collection binder which is capable of holding all three PS2 Ys games (Ys I&II, Ys III, and Ys VI Ark of Napishtim) that have been released thus far. There's a piece of cardboard filler inside the binder but you may discard it.
