overread: Saddest thing was I went to GAME (which is the old Electronics Boutique - which is basically the big UK games chain store) and they had DS games - and they were £7.50 new on most.

And not a drop of stock at all...... Not even second hand (where the price oddly went up to £22!). A sad day when the leading games retailer is clearly clearing their DS stock (they didn't even have any of the Black or White version; which is somewhat a troubling thought considering how big those titles are for sales!)
I don't see how they could be clearing their DS stock, the 3DS has barely any games, most of the games one could play on it are in fact DS games... Something odd must be going on, maybe ramping up for Vita?

Vita?

It could be that they are not holding stock and ordering in; they did have stock email services for titles; but honestly with the rocket low prices they had them at (compared to everywhere else) I get the feeling that they were stripping out their DS stock; at least from their online shop.
Herman Cain takes Pokemon serious enough to quote it in his campaign to become the next president of the United States.

(these are from his closing comments, so he actually had time to prepare this statement ahead of time and he still said that).

Like orcishgamer said, this is quite interesting. I own a 3DS and a whopping 3 retail games (why the hell did I buy Tetris?) and still use it 50/50 for DS games (the new Pokemon Rumble Blast game is pretty fun!). In the upcoming months there are some popular games coming out for it but not enough for the DS games to vanish just yet.

I don't know if you're implying you don't know what Vita is but if that is the case, it's the new Sony handheld coming out this year in Japan and everywhere else in 2012.

Herman Cain's speech was super effective! Okay, that's funny. The dude is a quack, but that is funny.
