    Is there anything worse than getting all excited over the prospect of receiving a shiny new Nintendo handheld only to have that feeling crushed by the insidious phrase ‘Not Yet Dispatched’?

    Every time I refresh my order summary just to see those horrible unmoving words its like a dagger in my Nintendo seal of approval stamped heart. Why can’t they just lie to me? It would better that way.

    As I sit here writing this today the time is 12:45 Uk time, March 24th.

    3DS…’Not Yet Dispatched’.

    Abandon all hope ye who pre-order from Amazon.co.uk

    Never order from Amazon if you want something on release day. I learnt that with ODST. My friend who ordered from Play.com got it a day early, and I had to wait till a day or two after release. That's why I preordered my 3DS from Tesco - collect from store so they can't possibly be late on delivery :P

    I only use Amazon for after release products or sales.  Never trust a juggernaut to ever be on time.
