I replaced my black DS Lite with a Crimson/Black earlier this year. Sold my black DS Lite on eBay for about $15 less than I paid for it. Essentially I rented a DS Lite for $15 for the year.
4x Wii Remotes
2x Wii Nunchuks
1x GCN Wavebird
2X GCN Wired
I have no plans to buy more nunchuks, since we rarely use them, and even when we do (Mario & Sonic at the Olympics), it's usually when fellow Wii owners are over. They can bring their own nunchuks.
It wouldn't surprise me, honestly. There was a shortage around Christmas '06. I bought my DS Lite in early December (last one at Gamestop), was trying to find one for a friend at the same time, and couldn't get one for him until February.
I don't think I've turned it on yet in 2008, actually. I tested it after getting it back from being repaired, which was before Christmas and I'm pretty sure that was the last time it was on. Haven't had a whole lot of time for gaming.
