    I cannot believe that here we are in the year 2009 and these sort of !!!!-ups by retailers still exist

    That's the problem with great deals, oadbyfox: sometimes they really are too good to be true. My cynical side says that companies do this for the attention / publicity it gets them.

    Ah what a shame Oadbyfox :(

    What time did you order yours? I phoned mine through at 7.55ish, TBH I didn't think that I would actually get it because I saw that 'on order' notice come up on the website. (It may have helped that I rung my order hrough).Thats the problem with limited edition models- they are in short supply and not likely to be restocked.

    *keeping fingers crossed that more DS deals come along for those who missed out.
