A priori depuis hier les grossistes de HK ont déjà leurs DS lite (mais pas bcp), et bad news, le prix de marché c´est 300 dollars US ^^
genre sur les sites d´enchères et Cie, c´est la grosse folie, et donc on se demande si ils vont vraiment approvisionner leurs précommandes à 169 dollars alors qu´ile peuvent vendre le double en liquider tout leur stock sans problème, surtout avec le phénomène de spéculation y a des gens qui en achètent par 5 ou 10 ^^;
l´article en anglais :
«©NCSX» First, the good news. The Japanese version of the NDS Lite was released in Hong Kong yesterday in moderate quantities. We watched with bemusement as speculators and other second tier vendors sent solicitations overnight. Ten pieces here, five pieces there, and so on and so forth. The prices being quoted were laughable but we´ll get to that.
Now, the bad news. Initial pricing per NDS Lite sits at an average of HK$2300. That´s US$297.54 per unit. NCS took preorders at US$169.
We should just repost our "PSP pricing fireworks" from late 2004 here but our recommendation is to wait for better pricing since speculators can´t control the market forever and additional supplies invariably reach market at normal prices. However, if you´re willing to pay upwards of $300 to receive an NDS Lite this week, we can supply. We just don´t recommend it.
The official Japanese launch is in 2 days. At this point, it is unclear if our suppliers in Japan to whom we submitted the bulk of our preorders will join in the speculative frenzy and hold out for higher prices. We´re hoping that they´ll forego the instinct to gouge like the Hong Kong players but that´s NCS´ naïveté showing up again. In other words, "Why sell to NCS at the original distribution price when we can charge close to double and still move all of our stock in less than an hour? We got kids to feed!
