Y is Nintendo DS so ex ah???

Hai... Ever since the first DS came to Singapore, the price had remained stable at S$350 till now... I am very tempted ah but feel tat it is too ex... plus I saw many reports tat the DS is having problem with the USB charger... Apparently that the ones at Lik Sang (recent batch) is receiving some complains (chk their forum)... Umm... can maxsoft or some other vendor in Singapore verify if such a prob exist??? Umm... S$350 with no free games is quite ex wor...
