Stock Update - What's going on with the Wii, Wii Fit, and PS3 Prices?

Bottom line, all three items are rapidly dropping in price. Wholesale levels of the wii and wii fit are at all time lows, with the ps3 160gb drakes unfortune bundle depreciating at the quickest levels.

Why? Demand is a huge issue. Certain suppliers even ask you to purchase DSi's at a one to one ratio with a Wii, meaning that for each DSi you want, you must purchase one Nintendo Wii. This just signals that supply has finally caught up with demand for the wii and wii fit.

As for the ps3 160gb unit, I guess it was only a matter of time before the unit dropped close to 80gb prices. It's a possibility that with the way the economy is going, the ps3 80gb will drop to $299 (and potentially even change to $160gb at that price) and the $499 retail priced ps3 will just be discontinued.

Pre-Order Update - Death Smiles Hori Arcade Stick - 4/23

We have just received news from our Japanese suppliers that these death smiles hori arcade sticks will not be available this month. Hori Japan will be opening pre-orders again for us within the coming weeks and a second batch will be released mid July. Because of the potential high cost of the item, we will not be opening pre-orders until we've confirmed that our Japanese suppliers have the items on hand.

Because of the unique design and rarity of the product, we're expecting prices to potentially drive upward of $300. Stay tuned.

Stock Update - DSi US Systems - SOLD OUT, Restock Friday

We've sold out of the new US DSi Colors today, we're expecting full restocks on both colors on Friday. Unfortunately, price is still above retail and we're hoping to see a few price breaks within the coming weeks. Each DSi arrived today in pristine condition, with two seals and a crimson red sticker which promotes free goddies that Nintendo is offering.

On first impression, the unit is extremely well built, with advertising focusing heavily on DSi downloadables and the two cameras. Gamestop and other retail chains are upping the ante on trade in value for old ds's. Why aren't we? Because simply put, we probably have more ds lites than most gamestops in our district combined.
