Heh. I went out for a beer yesterday with my fiancee and her brother and sister, around 5 o'clock, to a pub next door to a FutureShop (like a Best Buy or Circuit City). I considered heading over to the FutureShop first, to get a DS Lite, but thought, "naw that would be rude, I'll just go after". Then I realized around 5:50 that the store was closing in 10 minutes. I left a third of a beer and an unpaid bill on the table, with barely a word to anyone and jogged my slightly inebriated self across the street. I looked for a DS on the shelf for about 5 or six minutes (big mistake), then finally asked someone. I learned that the couple standing next to me, checking out at the department till, was purchasing the store's last unit.
So then I dashed over to a nearby Walmart (beer still on the table, bill still unpaid). But the Walmart people hadn't even heard about DS Lite and didn't know when they'd be getting them. I had no other options yesterday. So I went back to the pub and tried to be sociable.
This morning, it looks like I might have a bit more luck. I've been calling some local stores near my office, and found a Walmart that DOES have about 6 or 7 units (according to the clerk). I'll be taking a break and driving over in about an hour and a half or so.
I'm hoping for either Brain Age, Mario Bros., or Mario Kart. If they don't have any of those, anybody have any recommendations (that isn't Animal Crossing)?
