General Updates

PS3 Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
It's on the way. Apologies for the delay but due to "stock allocations" in the UK, our supplier is shipping our order today. Barring any further delays, our PS3 PES shipments should be in on Thursday.
Dual Shock 3 Update
We've received one offer for the Dual Shock 3 from a Japanese supplier thus far but we're not biting yet. The reason? In order to obtain 1 Dual Shock 3, we also have to buy 1 Playstation 3 40GB console. Let's do the math - buy one DS3 at about $43.60 based on this morning's forex spot and buy one PS3 for $420... which we don't need or want. NCS understands the Dual Shock 3 is precious but we don't relish the idea of spending $460 to import each one.
Please wait for further updates from our other Japanese distributors in the next few days but so far, it's not looking good for readily available stock on November 11. Price gouging is also possible per the norms of the import market but we'll post more information in the next few days. If prices ratchet up too high, we'd advise patience since prices should eventually drop to normalcy within 2-3 weeks after the Japanese debut.
