DS Lite Sold Out?

The DS Lite has finally launched in North America, and some retailers opened their doors at midnight Saturday night--the very earliest that stores could legally sell the handheld. The DS Lite is a new spin on the original DS, which was released in late 2004. Smaller, lighter, and including a brighter screen, the Lite is available in the Polar White model for $129.99.

That is, if you can find one. The launch of the DS Lite is yet another example of new gaming systems selling out on day one in metropolitan areas. The major online retailers, including GameStop.com, EBgames.com, BestBuy.com, and Amazon.com (by way of GameStop.com), are currently all sold out (as of press time), as are several brick-and-mortar stores.
When I was at Target late last night, they had about 12 of them left, so I am not sure what is up with the eStores.

Anybody else have trouble finding one?

I haven't seen one at a store yet but they may just not be putting them out I haven't asked.

The circuit city website says they still have some in stores near me.
