 ETC General Updates
NDS Lite Update
   Prices for all three colors of the NDS Lite (crystal white, enamel navy, and ice blue) were updated overnight to ~US$221 per unit from a few Asian traders in anticipation of next week. The next batch of DS Lites is scheduled to ship from Nintendo on or around March 30.
 
   Sadly, the allocation of units can't be confirmed at this time but we'll try to wrangle suppliers into committing to a set quantity of Lites. If there's more supply than expected, prices will be adjusted lower but we'll update again next week when more information is available.
Shunbun-no-hi (aka Vernal Equinox Day)
   Yesterday was a national holiday in Japan where celebrants feted the majesty of nature and life in general. Shunbun-no-hi marks the vernal equinox when the sun splits the day and night to exactly 12 hours each and hearkens the arrival of Spring.

  When the Nikkei wasn't trading last night and NCS' positions were static, we deduced a holiday was happening. Since suppliers were celebrating, most of this week's new imports are now scheduled to arrive on Thursday.
Under Defeat Limited Edition
   Shipments of G.Rev's latest LE are scheduled to arrive tomorrow and all preorders for the limited edition will ship on Wednesday.

   We were allocated a bonus Under Defeat decal with the limited edition of the game but only in a 1:2 ratio. That means we will receive 1 bonus decal with every 2 copies of the game. Due to this allocation, we will include the decal with early preorders. We are however checking with suppliers for any surplus decals that might be available for us to purchase separately.

   Please note that due to the Shunbun-no-hi holiday in Japan last night, our shipments of the regular edition of Under Defeat will not arrive tomorrow but are now slated for Thursday. Both versions are packaged in a DVD case which may prove to be a conundrum in square-sized DC libraries.

   With Under Defeat taken care of, we focus on our attention on getting Senko no Ronde for the Dreamcast. We figure as long as 3500-5000 DC preorders are assured, G.Rev may consider a Dreamcast port since those numbers will probably match how many Senko no Ronde will eventually sell on the Japanese Xbox 360.
USA Releases
   All preorders for NDS Tetris DS and NDS Metroid Prime Hunters are shipping today. All preorders for Xbox 360 Elder Scrolls IV [regular and limited edition] will also ship this afternoon. For our customers in Europe and Asia/Japan who preordered the games with USPS Express Mail, you can expect to receive your parcels by Thursday or Friday of this week.
