The first one is happening in Europe soon (with lite, plus MK8DX og NS 199$) and as i have aforesaid it should be done way earlier, but better late than ever.

I share your hope for the latter.

As for the USA none of these titles are that popular (in case you wish for a global deal).

In Japan i don't feel Nintendo wants to push it any further, it had a 12k in September selling week out of nowhere and the fell again to 7k, which is raising a suspicion on me about restricting supply based on the forecast aim, instead of produce more...

In row it doesnt need any aid...

Wait a minute… isn’t discussion on PS2 strictly prohibited here? I personally don’t care whether you guys go crazy with it, but do be careful. I don’t want users getting in trouble here by accident.
