For the people posting that they've seen them being sold, any chance you could post the location of the place you've seen them at? Been looking all over for one throughout SoCal without any luck.

Games 4 Less.
Fullerton.
Harbor and Orangethorpe.

You are my hero. Thanks. I'll check it out after work.

Yeah a friend of mine was looking for one for a gift for a few months and still hasn't had any luck! Anyway he just ended up giving the one he had as the gift.

I picked up a black DS lite when they first came out. There were tons of them, I'm surprised they are OOS!

Is Nintendo's manufacturing capability that low, or is the demand really this high?

I don't know about manufacturing capability, but the DS has been the top selling system (consoles included) this past holiday/year/whatever

Past couple of years, more-so since the DS Lite came out. They sold 500,000 DS Lites in Japan the week before Christmas alone.
