I also saw the teal bundle on the eb games and gamestop sites, but no pink. There is definately a teal one on the way...the pink is a little more mysterious. I am going to check target and toys r' us for the pink on Monday, hopefully they have something. If not, well...I still don't know if best buy or circuit city will be getting the bundles, so there's lots of places to check.

I can't seem to find any information about either the teal or pink bundle at any retailers in my area. They seem to have no clue what I am talking about and said if it is just a color change then the systems will just come in the next time they order and they couldn't tell me when that would be. And this whole time I was looking forward to getting the bundle sometime this week and it looks like that may not be happening anymore. If anyone as any other information about either bundle and where the best place to get one would be please chime in. And yes I am a man and I am considering the pink bundle and yes I am ok with that. Thanks...

FWIW, I went to TRU this morning to cash in on the B2G1F sale and asked the clerk if he knew if the pink would be a TRU exclusive. He said that as far as he knew only TRU and Target would be getting them so it wouldn't be a "TRU exclusive." Sounds like it'll still be available.

EDIT: Also, there is this

Never thought of actually looking at the Nintendo site, but it confirms what we heard elsewhere. If you want pink get your ass to Target or TRU tomorrow.

I have a feeling these pink DS units will sell out in a week or two.

I was at Sears on Saturday and they had a display DS set up with Metroid Pinball. I wasn't previously planning on getting it, but it seemed really well done and was a lot of fun. The demo unit didn't have the rumble pack installed, so I wasn't able to check that out.

Went to Target this morning, they have no clue.

Toys R Us actually acknowledged they were getting them (the guy even mentioned the colors when I asked about the Nintendogs bundle), but had no idea when they were coming in. So they're not out today, at least in CA. Anyone else have any luck?

Almost the same story. Target was braindead about it. TRU said the delivery is scheduled for 10/25, so I'll be checking back tomorrow to see if they actually have them or not.

Finally had some luck at a EBGames store. They are getting the teal bundles in tomorrow 10/25. He wanted me to preorder one but declined just in case I do want the pink version or for some reason his store doesn't get them in but others do. So if you want a teal version I would check out EBGames and put a preorder in or like me just hope they still have them in when you go to pick one up.

My wife went hunting one today, but today was only the ship date so they may have them tomorrow or Wednesday.
