DS Lite: No online pre-orders?

It appears that at least one major retailer, Biccamera.com, will not be taking pre-orders for the Nintendo DS Lite which is only days away from launch. The front page of the site lists a notice stating that “Pre-orders will not be taken [for the DS Lite] at BicCamera.com. Sales will begin after launch day.” The notice suggests that perhaps in-store pre-orders will be possible. A quick visit to the Nintendo DS hardware category of the website also produced a blank page – 0 items are currently listed under Nintendo DS hardware. And this isn’t the only store. Apparently Yodobashi Camera’s online store also is not listing any products under the Nintendo DS hardware category.

Surly this must all be related to the shortage of DS’ that has been affecting the region since late last year. With the delay of the blue DS Lites will Nintendo be able to deliver enough DS’ into the hands of eager customers?
