“We love the Nintendo DS and the new experiences it has brought to gaming,” says Rose Lappin, Director of Sales and Marketing. “the super stylish Nintendo DS Lite adds a touch of class to the unit and the brighter screen is remarkably vibrant. Expect some fantastic software products in the coming months to take advantage of this.”

Fancy Australia getting the DS before the US. I do believe in Miracles.
