DS Lite price gouging

Source - DS Fanboy:

Two days before the official DS Lite release in Japan and Asian retailers are already pricing a markup. Hong Kong stores are quoting their first shipment of units at $300 a pop. That's almost double the MSRP. From the article: "As is common with launch feeding frenzies of this nature, they are speculative and fueled by limited initial inventory... If there is retail support at US$300 for an NDS Lite, prices will remain at that level."

Supply and demand in action, folks. Would you fork out $300 bones to be a DS Lite first mover?

Buy yours from a decent supplier like lik sang --> http://www.yesasia.com/?/news.php?artc=3808&lsaid=219793

Wow that sucks I wonder why they would have to raise it? Mabey it was because it was going to sell so well

Yea but lik-sang also raised their prices. The preorder was set at $169.99 now it jumped to $199.99.
