Crimson / black DS Lite for sale in America?

Alright kids, no more complaining that Canada gets all the good stuff. 'Course, all of us North Americans still have a bone to pick with Japan and South Korea, but that's another story for another day. Apparently, the crimson / black DS Lite that snuck up on us last week at Future Shop has made its way south to the US of A -- or at least, it had. According to DSFanboy, GameStop had the specially colored bundle (which included Brain Age 2 but sadly omitted the carrying case) listed on it's website for $149.99, but now it seems that the item has been yanked. Keep your eyes peeled Americans, it ought to pop back up in due time.

I went to Gamestop yesterday and preordered this, traded in a few things to pay for it. Hopefully it's not cancelled.

I hope this comes to the UK as well. I was thinking about getting a DS, having already bought one for my gf, played with it myself too and it was pretty cool. If this version came out here, SOLD!

Remember when games were about fun, and not about our parents proving to themselves that their "Brain Age" is actually lower than their real age? Oh and on that note, I'd like a pikachu yellow DS, just like my old Pokemon Yellow special edition gameboy color. Those were the daysssss.

Hey my kids are pretty much grown.
I play to play.

But not that game.
I play other old guy stuff like Golf and Backgammon online with Club House Games.

I didn't get the same experience doing this stuff on other handhelds.

DS Fanboy is a great site BTW.
