Play-asia.com currently has both the Enamel Navy and Ice Blue DS Lites in stock for $199.90 plus shipping, so if you just can’t wait for the more compact, brighter DS to hit stateside, this may be your chance. Users might want to consider that imported units will be difficult to impossible to return for warrantee repair, so if your DS Lite has dead pixels, you may be stuck with them. NCSX.com, at least, has warned that a fair number of the DS Lites they have received have had dead pixels, saying:

“Unavoidably, they are present on the NDS Lite. The five NDS Lites that we kept for our company use all have 1 to 6 dead pixels and there’s a better than average chance that the NDS Lite that you purchase will have dead pixels as well. Dead pixels on new hardware products such as the NDS Lite are common and manufacturers will not accept returns because of them - recall the PSP situation from 2004.”
