Retailers ready for Nintendo DSi, Pre-orders advised

As fans await the release of the Nintendo DSi this Friday, UK retailers have advised customers to get their pre-orders in to avoid being disappointed when normal stock runs out, which is bound to happen.

As reported by GI.Biz, the new handheld from Nintendo will be priced at £149 and Don McCabe, from UK retailer Chips has been speaking in an interview about the obvious rush for the DSi come Friday.

“The supply is tight, there’s just not a great amount of stock out there. Basically everything that we’re getting in is already pre-sold before it hits the shop floor. It’s a 100 per cent sell out for us.”

So it looks as if some people who have not pre-ordered a DSi yet, we will waiting longer than Friday to pick one up. Yesterday we reported on another retailer ShopTo who also gave their opinions on the stock demand.

Have you pre-ordered your Nintendo DSi yet?
