The Korg DS-10 has been refused by Best Buy and Game Stop- it seems that Amazon is most people's best bet. There is still no official release date.

It's $40 and doesn't have Square Enix's brand recognition. I'd be weary of its ability to sell too. I honestly think $35 is too much for DS games.

I'm more concerned about the availability of the title, price be damned. Also this might be the very first DS title ever worth $40. It's definitely more complex than any Square Enix DS title.

I bet it will become very rare and perhaps worth something down the line.

I have this annoying feeling that because I live in Canada I'm going to be sh!t out of luck in buying this game.

I've only been able to find it on American sites.  Best Buy's American site doesn't ship to Canada and Amazon.com is very particular about what games can be shipped internationally.

You could probably get it off ebay soon at a decent price.

Not anymore.  We're down to 84 cents.  It was a fun ride while it lasted.  At least your booze is still cheap to me.

Because when a game is rare and impossible to find in stores you can always get a good deal on eBay! ;)

If by free shipping you mean $30 then yes.  ;)  The free shipping is only for America and if I lived in America then I wouldn't have a problem in the first place.

Though maybe I can get one of my friends to get it for my birthday.  He buys everything on eBay, even things that are readily available in local stores.  Last year when he asked what to get me for my birthday I suggested a classic controller.  He got me one on eBay from JAPAN when he could have just gone to the mall where it would have cost at least half what he paid.  D'oh!

So if I play it up like this a routine DS game he'll probably get it through eBay and pay out of his ass for it without once looking in a store. :)

Damn public education!!

Interesting review.  He kept going back and forth between its "Great" but "utterly pointless".  Personally, I already have a Korg Digital 12 track recorder as well as software for my Mac.  But, due to the fact I'm frequently away from these devices and bored, I think its a great tool. 

I plan on using it to mess around with as well as add it to other projects I currently have on the Mac.

We'll have to start a new thread to share our masterpieces!

The gist of his review, to me, was that "if you're into this kind of stuff, you'll love it, but if you aren't you'll find this utterly useless".  Which is pretty much what I'd expect.  KORG DS-10 reminds me of when people review something like Ikaruga - for what it is, it's amazing, but it's so niche that you can't give it more than an 8/10 no matter how good it is.

I just got a mac so I'm hoping to run the Korg DS through whatever programs I have available as well so a thread to share is a given. I can't wait to get my hands on it!
Regardless of how niche it is- I know for a fact that many kids are interested in making music and if they had any idea that this sort of title was coming out they would want it, but since they don't know it may as well become "niche". It's a shame too because I think a lot of people would enjoy Korg DS if they knew it existed to begin with. I don't think it will move Pokemon units, but it's better than seeing those terrible DS crapware titles on the shelves.

BestBuy said "screw Korg" and dropped it from the website as well.  Oh well, just ordered it from Amazon today.  They have it for $36.99 w/ free shipping, not to shabby (the only caveat being an estimated ship date of 11-10-08...doh!!)
