DS Lite-o
I got a call from a friend I work with, last night, saying that he found out Bic Camera was getting 1000 units of DS Lites in on Sunday(today). Even though the DS Lite has been out for over 2 months now in Japan, they've been almost impossible to find, since they've been such a big hit.
Bic doesn't open on Sundays until 10am, so we hatched a plan of going around 1ish, since one of us had something to do in the morning.
Anyway, we get there. The toys and video games section is on the sixth floor of the place. There's a pretty big line in the video game section and we assume this is the line for the DS Lites.
Hahaha.
He directed us to go to the first floor. The line started there. We start heading down the escalators and see that the line was going all the way down the stairwell. And down. And down. We see a break in the line on the second floor and like the baka gaijin we are, assumed this was the start, getting in line here. About five minutes passed and another guy tells us we need to get a ticket from the first floor for our DS Lites.
By first floor, he really meant outside and around the side of the building. That's where the line started and all the breaks were so other customers could pass through. They asked us if we wanted a navy or white unit. I got a navy DS Lite. So, two hours later we were on the sixth floor of the store again, buying our DS Lites.
The Lites are definitely a lot sleeker and the polished exterior gives it a nice look. The screens are also noticably brighter. :p
The first three were taken with my phone camera.
This is the ticket we're given to get our DS lite.
This was the line along the wall of the stairwell, right before the sixth floor.
Those are on the alarm things right before entering the video game area on the sixth floor.
Oh, they goes it indeed.
DS Lite closed. Shiny!
DS Lite open, with Meteos playing. The screens are really noticably brighter than the DS. That isn't the highest brightness setting either.
Somni wanted to know what I changed my phone background to. It was originally an anime girl and it totally made Somni all #SI.
She'll deny it.
22 more days until Somni is back over here.
