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
